TreVeyon Henderson Dynasty Rookie Profile – Fantasy Football 2025

TreVeyon Henderson Dynasty Rookie Profile RB – New England Patriots | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 38 | College: Ohio State TreVeyon Henderson brings elite speed and third-down versatility to a crowded Patriots backfield. Drafted early in Round 2, Henderson enters a Josh McDaniels offense with a history of using committee backs — but Henderson’s juice and receiving upside give him immediate dynasty appeal, especially in 0.5 PPR formats. College Career Recap Henderson arrived at Ohio State as a five-star recruit and quickly validated the hype. He set the school’s freshman TD record in 2021 (19 total) while averaging 6.8 yards per carry and surpassing 1,200 rushing yards. Despite battling injuries in 2022 and sharing the backfield with Quinshon Judkins in 2024, he still tallied 3,761 total yards and 46 touchdowns in his Buckeyes career. What stood out most was his speed. According to PFF tracking data, Henderson ranked top 20 in FBS max speed across the last eight seasons. He also quietly improved as a pass catcher, posting 27 receptions for 284 yards in 2024, showcasing smooth hands and route creativity out of the backfield. His tape screamed big-play threat on any touch. NFL Scouting Report Measured at 5'11", 215 lbs, Henderson ran a 4.43 40-yard dash and posted elite explosion numbers — including a 38.5" vertical and 10'8" broad jump. His athleticism translated on film with sudden cuts, burst through tight creases, and the ability to erase pursuit angles. He excels on gap runs and in space, often setting up blocks before accelerating through the hole. However, he can get bottled up in tight lanes and isn't known for power-based finishes or shedding multiple tacklers between the tackles. Durability concerns and inconsistent early-down vision knock his every-down profile, but he may be the best pure pass protector and receiving threat among the 2025 RB class. Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Patriots Landing with Josh McDaniels and the Patriots complicates Henderson’s path to a true bell cow role. McDaniels rarely features a single back — instead using specialized roles. Rhamondre Stevenson will likely handle early-down and goal-line work, while Antonio Gibson could mix in on passing downs. Still, Henderson’s elite receiving profile makes him a prime candidate for the third-down role, and if Stevenson falters or Gibson fades, Henderson could earn more usage. McDaniels’ offenses historically lean gap-heavy — a good match for Henderson’s strengths — and New England’s bolstered offensive line (with 1st-rounder Will Campbell) could boost overall backfield efficiency. Rookie Outlook (2025) Floor:  RB3 with weekly FLEX value in PPR formats Ceiling:  RB2 with RB1 spike weeks if usage expands beyond third-down work Early Projection:  140–160 carries, 40+ targets, 1,000+ total yards, 6–8 TDs Expected PPG (0.5 PPR):  8.8–14.8 Long-Term Dynasty Value In Superflex leagues, Henderson offers high-floor, high-upside RB value in the middle of round one. His elite athletic traits and pass-catching skills make him a plug-and-play RB3 with game-breaking potential. If McDaniels leans into a more modern RB deployment or the Patriots move on from Stevenson, Henderson could emerge as a top-15 RB by Year 2.
