New England Patriots envision a 50-50 backfield split between TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson, provided Henderson executes in his pass-protection assignments. While the coaching staff trusts Stevenson’s solid frame to execute baseline blocking and grind out dirty yards, Henderson’s profile features a tantalizing 5.3 Yards Per Touch (No. 10) and a 5.6-percent Breakaway Run Rate (No. 15) to drive explosive plays.

Both backs project to maintain standalone fantasy value, but an unpredictable, game script dependent rotation will be difficult for managers to accurately project week-to-week. Henderson’s pedigree and athleticism offer the league-winning upside for redraft that fantasy footballers crave, while Stevenson is a top best ball value pick.
