New England’s backfield has leaned on Rhamondre Stevenson over TreVeyon Henderson, despite Henderson’s solid efficiency. Through early 2026, Stevenson’s higher success rate and receiving involvement have kept him the focal point, while Henderson has struggled to convert opportunities and show sustained explosive gains. The coaching choice appears informed by analytics, with Henderson posting a career-worst success rate and limited long-yardage plays. The situation leaves the backfield at a crossroads as the Patriots seek more consistent production, with expectations shifting toward stabilizing Stevenson’s role while Henderson works to regain momentum and trust. The next steps will hinge on improving efficiency and balancing workload to unlock the duo’s potential.
