J.K. Dobbins vs TreVeyon Henderson: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. J.K. Dobbins finished the 2025 season at 11.0 PPG over 10 games with the Denver Broncos, while TreVeyon Henderson clocked in at 11.1 across 17 appearances for the New England Patriots. A 0.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. J.K. Dobbins ran for 772 yards and 4 touchdowns; TreVeyon Henderson posted 911 and 9. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
