Henderson would have averaged 9.8 PPR points per game, which would have made him the RB33 in fantasy points per game. Without Stevenson in the lineup in Weeks 9-11, Henderson averaged 19 touches and 110 total yards. With Stevenson active, Henderson had 11.2 touches and 57.2 total yards per game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Henderson's rookie season inflated by two games; efficiency metrics lag Stevenson's.

Henderson's rookie season was inflated by two monster games accounting for 29.2% of his overall fantasy production; removing those games would have made him RB33 in PPG. Without Stevenson in Weeks 9-11, Henderson averaged 19 touches and 110 total yards, but with Stevenson active, he had only 11.2 touches and 57.2 total yards per game. Henderson was bested by Stevenson in every efficiency metric: explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, yards after contact per attempt, yards per route run, and pass protection. Among 49 qualifying backs, Henderson ranked 12th in explosive run rate but 32nd in missed tackle rate and 42nd in yards after contact per attempt. He is best viewed as an upside RB3 and unlikely to overtake Stevenson in 2026 unless he takes a significant step forward.
