The New England Patriots are unlike the previous regime under Bill Belichick. Fumbles were a death knell for players with old Bill. Under Mike Vrabal players have a longer leach. Rhamondre Stevenson will still have a big role for the Patriots, despite having 2 fumbles last week. Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson has had limited opportunities, but has splashed when he does. Fans and fantasy players who want Henderson to take on a bigger role may have to wait longer before we see him take over the backfield. It is frustrating because Henderson clearly has the more explosive ability and receiving skills.

Henderson owners will have to be more patient as the New England coaching staff still trust the veteran Stevenson over the rookie. Henderson will get a larger role as the season rolls on. His talent is too great to keep off the field. Now would be a good time to try to buy low if you can in dynasty. The price may be too high to trade for layer in the season.
