TreVeyon Henderson Poised for Lead Back Role in Week 9 Amid Stevenson's Absence

Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson is set to serve as the New England Patriots' lead back for Sunday's game against the Falcons. This increased opportunity comes as Rhamondre Stevenson has been ruled out with a toe injury. Henderson, along with Terrell Jennings, will be the only two active running backs. Despite the Patriots' previous hesitation to give Henderson a large workload, he is now projected to receive 12 or more touches, with a potential ceiling approaching 20. He is considered a moderate-risk, high-reward RB2 option for Week 9.
