Patriots RBs: Henderson Stars, Stevenson Stumbles?
2 Dec
Summary
- Henderson has surpassed 60 rushing yards in his last three games.
- The Giants are the league's worst rushing defense, allowing 157.2 yards.
- Stevenson's effectiveness has waned, with a 3.2 yards per carry average.
The upcoming Monday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and New York Giants presents a fantasy football quandary regarding running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson has emerged as a pivotal offensive player, consistently gaining over 60 rushing yards in the past three contests and accumulating five touchdowns.
His favorable matchup against the Giants' defense, which is the league's worst in run stopping by allowing 157.2 rushing yards per game, positions him for a potentially significant performance. This makes Henderson a strong start for fantasy owners.
Conversely, Stevenson's performance has been on a downward trend. Dealing with a toe injury, the veteran has managed only 284 rushing yards and three touchdowns on a mere 3.2 yards per carry. While he might find some success against the Giants' struggling defense, Henderson is clearly the lead back, leaving Stevenson with a low fantasy ceiling.
