    TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

    Unlike yesterday, Henderson was spotted at the open portion of practice and appears to be making a real run to play in Week 6. If not for the report that he’d miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain, this would be a pretty clear trend towards Henderson playing. As is, we’ll see what happens on Friday. It sure seems like he’ll hit the questionable line one way or another, but how it looks will be important as far as figuring out his Week 6 status.

    Surprisingly active, Henderson was unsurprisingly disappointing. Although his lost third quarter fumble was his first of the season, it predictably landed him in the doghouse. He touched the ball just two times thereafter, and the Patriots decided to ride No. 3 running back Corey Kiner is closeout mode. Kiner took 11 carries in the final 16:30 of game time. We know Henderson has big-play ability, but now playing at less than 100 percent in a backfield that is beginning to look like a three-man ordeal, he’s not a particularly appealing RB3/FLEX heading into Thursday’s short-week date with the Bears.

    As are A.J. Brown (ankle) and LT Will Campbell (knee). It’s a rare day where all the injury news went right for a team. We can’t imagine Henderson will be in large for a particularly big backup role behind Rhamondre Stevenson, but the fact that a player the Pats didn’t even really “need” for Week 6 is giving it a go suggests he is close to regular health. Henderson is a boom/bust FLEX option. Inactive for the Patriots are CB Carlton Davis, CB Karon Prunty, QB Behren Morton, CB Channing Canada, OT Dametrious Crownover and TE Tanner Arkin.

    The same is true of left tackle Will Campbell, who also went down with an ankle injury in Week 5. It’s a remarkable turnaround for Henderson, who was initially expected to miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain. He was limited in practice throughout the week before being listed as questionable on Friday. We expect Henderson to be on a pitch count this week, but he’s still capable of breaking a long run on just a few touches. Henderson is a high-risk FLEX play for Week 6.
  • NE Running Back #32
    The Patriots’ No. 2 running back was limited all week after being diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. He told reporters today that he was surprised he could practice this week, and is feeling “pretty good.” If active, he will be a FLEX starter, but Rhamondre Stevenson should lead the backfield in touches.
  • NE Running Back #32
    Henderson wasn’t spotted during the portion of practice open to the media but apparently got on the field at some point later in the session. It’s a truly stunning development for Henderson, given that it was reported this morning that he is expected to miss multiple weeks. We still expect him to sit for Week 6, but even that isn’t guaranteed at this point. Henderson would likely be on a relatively strict pitch count if he plays, but his presence would, at a minimum, be a thorn in the side of Rhamondre Stevenson’s fantasy backers. This is officially an injury report to keep a close eye on throughout the week.
  • NE Running Back #32
    Henderson suffered his latest ankle injury in Week 5 against the Raiders. Schefter said Henderson is “regarded as a quick healer, so the Patriots are hoping his return is sooner rather than later.” Still, he could be sidelined for the next few weeks, leaving Rhamondre Stevenson as the team’s clear lead back. Corey Kiner, meanwhile, appears to be in line as the Patriots’ RB2 after seeing seven touches last week against the Raiders. Kiner should be stashed in most 12-team fantasy leagues for now. Stevenson profiles as a top-12 play until Henderson returns.
  • NE Running Back #32
    Henderson had 38 yards on five touches before suffering the ankle injury on a sideline tackle in the second quarter. He needed help getting to the locker room and did not return to action. Henderson, who has dealt with a string of injuries over the past few months, could miss significant time, leaving Rhamondre Stevenson as the Patriots’ unquestioned workhorse back for now.
  • NE Running Back #32
    Henderson ripped off a nice 11-yard rush and was tackled low out of bounds. He was slow to get up before being helped to the New England locker room for further evaluation. The oft-injured Henderson was seeing better-than-usual usage before his injury. Rhamondre Stevenson will function as the team’s workhorse back if Henderson once again misses time.
  • NE Running Back #38
    Stevenson already told reporters on Friday that he was “ready to go”, so this news item doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Stevenson will continue to operate as the Pats’ top option in high-leverage situations, though he could cede more work between the 20s to TreVeyon Henderson. Both backs are stuck as low-ceiling RB3 options this week.
  • NE Running Back #38
    Stevenson tweaked his knee or ankle on his last touch of Week 4. The game ended shortly after that, so we didn’t get an official update on his injury from the team. Vrabel told reporters there is a chance he plays in Week 5, but it sounds like the veteran is on the wrong side of questionable as of Wednesday. TreVeyon Henderson’s role was dwindling in recent weeks, but Stevenson’s absence will thrust him right back into a workhorse role. He would be a high-end RB2 if Stevenson is unable to go.

    Savion Williams caught all four targets for 32 yards in the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys, adding nine yards on two carries.

    Williams was immediately asked to fill the WR3 role for an offense missing its top two slot receivers. Even so, he finished fifth on the team in targets and carries little fantasy value for as long as the team’s top three options in Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft remain healthy. That doesn’t change ahead of a matchup with the Lions in Week 7.

    Tucker Kraft caught 5-of-8 targets for 37 yards in the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys.

    Kraft was forced from the game in the second quarter after taking a scary hit to his thigh area that generated torsion on his knee while his foot was still planted. It was the opposite knee to the one he injured a season ago and the veteran tight end would miss only one drive before returning to the game after the half, providing a collective sigh of relief for fantasy managers that have tasted the despair of a major knee injury already. Kraft could be busy in Week 7 against the defense allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends when the Packers face off against the division rival Lions in a potential shootout.

    Christian Watson caught 3-of-8 targets for 64 yards in the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys.

    Watson drew lockdown corner Joey Porter Jr. for much of the game, something that aided teammate Matthew Golden in leading the team in both targets and receiving in the win. The talented fifth-year receiver is already within 74 yards of setting a new career high in receiving while also being just one touchdown shy of a new high water mark, two achievements he will look to unlock when the Packers face off against the Lions in a potential shootout in Week 7. Watson remains a back-end WR1 for that matchup.

    Matthew Golden caught 6-of-13 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys.

    Golden took advantage of being the Green Bay receiver to mostly avoid Joey Porter Jr., although he did victimize the lockdown corner on a 37-yard reception in the first quarter. He would cash in on a touchdown eight plays later from nine yards out for his third score of the season. The speedy second-year receiver has now eclipsed 100 yards in half of his games while hitting 95 in one other, and is pacing for over 1,400 yards and eight touchdowns. That’s enough to have Golden in the conversation for one of the top values of fantasy drafts this summer. Golden will be an upside WR2 when the Packers take on the division rival Lions in Week 7.

    Pierre Strong rushed 11 times for 28 yards in the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys, adding 39 yards on five receptions.

    Strong’s 17 opportunities handily led the backfield on a night MarShawn Lloyd was in and out of the game due to an early injury scare. Even so, he managed only 2.8 yards per carry that was overshadowed by the looking return of lead back Josh Jacobs, the latter of whom is expected to be activated from the commissioner exempt list Monday. Strong, Lloyd, and Kaleb Johnson can safely be returned to the waiver wire from whence they came.

    Jordan Love completed 23-of-41 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Packers’ 23-13, Week 6 win over the Cowboys, adding 12 yards and a touchdown on four carries.

    Love isn’t typically a threat to punch in a touchdown with his legs, but the state of the backfield and flow of the game gave him that opportunity late in the second quarter, which he would cash in for his first rushing score since Week 11 of 2024. Fantasy managers shouldn’t get too excited about the touchdown on the ground considering running back Josh Jacobs is expected to be activated from the commissioner exempt list Monday. Even so, Love has now accounted for two touchdowns in all six games played through the first third of the season and has gone over 300 yards through the air in half his appearances to start the 2026 season, leaving plenty of meat on the bone for continued fantasy production as the Packers enter their most difficult stretch of the schedule. Love remains a locked-in QB1 ahead of a potential shootout against the division rival Lions in Week 7.

    Jake Ferguson caught 2-of-3 targets for 13 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 6 loss to the Packers.

    Ferguson has now been out-targeted by the team’s WR3, Ryan Flournoy, in five of six games, even being out-targeted by fellow tight end Brevyn Span-Ford in this one. The latter caught 4-of-5 targets for 35 yards on a night quarterback Dak Prescott attempted 54 passes. Any fleeting fantasy value is quickly evaporating as the fourth option, at best, through the air. Ferguson can safely be left on fantasy benches ahead of a Week 7 meeting with the Eagles on the road.

    Ryan Flournoy caught 7-of-9 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys’ Week 6 loss to the Packers.

    While the yardage totals continue to remain modest for the third-year receiver, his emergence as a trusted WR3 in the offense has led to him out-targeting tight end Jake Ferguson in five of six games through the first third of the season. That’s a role that can return usable FLEX production in the right matchups in the typically high-powered Cowboys offense, adding to his high-end handcuff value. Fantasy managers can continue to stash FLournoy ahead of a Week 7 meeting with the division rival Eagles.

    CeeDee Lamb caught 9-of-18 targets for 70 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 6 loss to the Packers.

    Lamb was targeted relentlessly against the match-zone-based Green Bay defense but suffered through a failing connection with quarterback Dak Prescott on his way to middling fantasy returns. The Cowboys managed under 100 yards in the first half and were victimized by two Prescott interceptions deep in Green Bay territory, leading to a game environment that required 55 Prescott dropbacks. Even with a second consecutive middling-to-poor performance from a fantasy first round pick, Lamb is still pacing for a 1,500-yard, 11-touchdown season, plenty to provide a solid return on investment for fantasy managers that used their top pick on his services. Lamb could be busy again in Week 7 against the inside-funnel nature of the Philadelphia defense, where he will once again be a fantasy WR1.

    George Pickens caught 6-of-11 targets for 73 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 6 loss to the Packers.

    Pickens was targeted just once in the first half as the Cowboys were held under 100 yards of total offense before the break. He would remain quiet through the third quarter, adding a single catch to his ledger on two additional targets before seeing eight looks in the final frame with the Cowboys in desperation mode. The 11 targets finished second on the team to CeeDee Lamb’s 18 while the 73 yards slightly edged the 70 of Lamb. Pickens remains an upside WR2 ahead of a divisional matchup against the inside-funnel Eagles’ secondary in Week 7.
