Fantasy football players only needed to see a handful of plays from TreVeyon Henderson in the preseason to buy into his stock.
The Patriots’ rookie running back has quickly become a popular pick in fantasy football drafts as the preseason ends and the regular season nears. On ESPN, Henderson’s average draft position is 52.2 (in point per reception leagues) as of Sunday. That’s a roughly 15-spot average draft position improvement over the last seven days, which is the seventh-highest among all players in that span.
Earlier in the week, fantasy football expert Field Yates noted that Henderson’s average draft position was at 60.
