As Week 13 of the NFL season concludes, the Monday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants presents an intriguing fantasy football scenario. Running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson are at the center of attention as fantasy managers weigh their options.
Week 13 Fantasy Football Advice: Start or Sit Henderson and Stevenson
TreVeyon Henderson: Start or Sit?
TreVeyon Henderson has become an essential component of the Patriots’ offense. Over the last three games, he has consistently surpassed 60 rushing yards and scored five touchdowns. His momentum is promising, especially with a favorable matchup this week.
The Giants rank at the bottom of the NFL in rushing defense, allowing an alarming average of 157.2 rushing yards per game. Given this ideal circumstance and Henderson’s role, he is poised for a strong performance in the prime time matchup.
- Rushing Yards Last 3 Games: Over 60 each game
- Total Touchdowns: 5
- Giants’ Rushing Defense Rank: Last in the league
Verdict: Start Henderson in your fantasy lineup this week.
Rhamondre Stevenson: Start or Sit?
Rhamondre Stevenson has struggled recently, reflecting a decline in his performance. This season, he has only managed 284 rushing yards and three touchdowns, averaging 3.2 yards per carry. Additionally, a toe injury has hindered his effectiveness.
While the Giants’ poor run defense could offer some opportunities, Henderson’s prominence in the backfield casts doubt on Stevenson’s fantasy viability. He is not expected to receive double-digit carries, limiting his potential ceiling and floor for fantasy points.
- Current Rushing Yards: 284
- Touchdowns: 3
- Yards Per Carry: 3.2
Verdict: Sit Stevenson for this week’s matchup.
