STM Take

A big-play back still waiting on a full workload.

The case for

Tied an NFL rookie record with four rushing TDs of 50-plus yards; the explosive-play floor is unusual for a year-one back.
5.1 YPC on 178 rookie carries plus a 4.43 forty at the combine; the speed translates immediately.

The worry

178 carries in 17 games means New England did not give him the bell-cow workload; the rookie touch share could persist.
Recent game log shows the variance of a part-time back, with two single-digit PPR weeks back-to-back in Wk 16-17.

What to watch: Whether NE clears the depth chart in 2026 to make Henderson a true lead back; tier-1 hinges entirely on the touch share.

Full take and bio

Henderson at STTM #11 tier 3 as a rookie produced 911 rushing yards on a 5.1 YPC and 9 TDs in only a partial-share role. The big-play profile is unusually loud for a year-one back: tied an NFL rookie record with four 50-plus yard rushing TDs in a single season. Tier-1 ceiling looks reachable in year two if the Patriots clear his touch path.

Henderson was born in Hopewell, Virginia and was a five-star recruit who graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA. He played four years at Ohio State, broke Archie Griffin's freshman single-game rushing record (277 yards), and won the 2025 College Football Playoff national title. New England took him 38th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. As a rookie he made the PFWA All-Rookie Team, won AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November, and tied an NFL rookie record with four rushing TDs of 50-plus yards.
