News: 7 days agoSince the start of training camp, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has lined Henderson up in various formations in an effort to take advantage of mismatches, Karen Guregian of MassLive Sportsreports.

Spin: McDaniels believes the explosive 2025 second-rounder -- who has caught screen passes, swing passes and wheel routes downfield during practice -- has a chance be a valuable weapon in the passing game this season. Henderson has fifth-year pro Rhamondre Stevenson to contend with for backfield touches, particularly in early-down situations, but the rookie has enough playmaking upside to make a fantasy impact even in the context of a timeshare, with Antonio Gibson also mixing in.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Henderson was selected by New England in the second round of April's draft. The Ohio State product paced this rookie RB class with 7.1 YPC last season and was effective as both a rusher and receiver throughout his collegiate tenure. His size could limit his carry total a bit in the pros, but he impressed across the board athletically at the combine and his elite pass-blocking skills and three-down ability will make him a terrific fit in the modern NFL. Henderson figures to share work with Rhamondre Stevenson as a rookie and is best valued as a RB3/flex.
