If the Patriots cared about your fantasy teams, these would be the only two backs they feature this week. Of course, they do not, and so they’ve given Antonio Gibson work as they’ve seen fit. Still, Henderson did log more snaps, carries, routes run and targets than Gibson in Week 4. He was also used near the goal line and scored a touchdown. The arrow is certainly pointing up. Stevenson is top dog in this rushing attack, but his workload (10.5 touches per game) has made him a flex option. This week, though, both are in play, due to the matchup with a Buffalo squad that has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards to RBs and gives up explosive runs at a rate that is, by far, the highest in the NFL. The upside is high enough to take a shot on each.
