News: 11 hours agoHenderson (ankle) rushed 16 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Spin: Henderson didn't take long to make an impact in his season debut after sitting out the 13-10 Week 1 loss to Seattle. The 2025 second-round pick opened the scoring with a 39-yard touchdown run 6:38 into Sunday's game and handled 17 touches compared to just seven for Rhamondre Stevenson, who lost a fumble on the drive preceding Henderson's touchdown run. Henderson had 180 carries to Stevenson's 130 during the 2025 regular season. Both running backs are likely to be involved in the Week 3 game plan against the Jaguars.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Henderson enters Year 2 after a roller-coaster rookie campaign in which he delivered three huge fantasy performances (28-plus points in all three) but otherwise played second fiddle to Rhamondre Stevenson (8.3 points per game in his other 14 games). Though his role was limited, Henderson was effective, averaging 5.1 yards per carry (eighth best) and catching 83% of his targets while scoring 10 touchdowns. The 2025 second-round pick is a candidate for a similar role in 2026, but it's unlikely that Stevenson will completely disappear after he also had a strong 2025. Henderson is safest as a bench option, but there's upside for a lot more if the 23-year-old is promoted to a lead role.
