TreVeyon Henderson

Tyrone Tracy Jr. had been the New York Giants lead running back before an in-game rotation shift and a fourth-quarter hip injury opened the door for Devin Singletary to take over the backfield. In New England, Kayshon Boutte s return reshaped the Patriots wide receiver rotation while Rhamondre Stevenson reclaimed the lead role at running back, leaving Javon Diggs and TreVeyon Henderson in reduced but still potentially useful roles heading into a favorable post-bye schedule.

The 14 touches trailed backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson by one in an easy victory, intimating that the latter will continue to be utilized in conjunction with the electric rookie for the remainder of the season, regardless of the former's exploits without Stevenson in the lineup earlier this season. Henderson continues to carry the greater per-touch upside but will see a muted ceiling while operating in a near-even timeshare.

Henderson rushed 11 times for 67 yards and brought in three of four targets for 19 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson remained the clear lead back in Week 12, despite the return of Rhamondre Stevenson. The rookie out-carried Stevenson 18-6 and topped him in targets, 4-2.

Stevenson was returning after missing almost a month with an ankle injury. The 27-year-old didn't see the field for almost the entirety of the first two drives before playing a snap on a third-and-long to end the second drive. He was out-touched by TreVeyon Henderson 21-to-7, but Stevenson did see two carries inside the three-yard line. The problem was that he was unable to convert on either one of those. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Stevenson work into a slightly larger role next week against the Giants.
