New England Patriots 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook

TreVeyon Henderson, RB

On the one hand, Henderson's explosive three-down skill set makes him a viable home-run hitter in any offense.

On the other, Josh McDaniels' RB committee plans have never been easy to predict, and Patriots GM Eliot Wolf just gave incumbent starter Rhamondre Stevenson a four-year, $36 million extension last June.

A 1A/1B role alongside Stevenson that produces around 15 combined carries and targets per game could be enough for Henderson to supply upside RB2 production in an efficient Bucky Irving-esque manner, although don't put it past McDaniels to ALSO keep Antonio Gibson involved and really muddle up this situation.

Ultimately, Henderson is a fun talent who certainly makes the Patriots better, but then again, New England also doesn't exactly boast the world's most fantasy-friendly offense ahead of 2025 despite some solid offseason additions.

Kyle Williams, WR

This was arguably the best-case scenario for Williams: He finds himself as a likely instant starter on this depleted depth chart with the upside to potentially lead the team in targets if 31-year-old veteran Stefon Diggs fails to return to form following last year's season-ending ACL injury.

Throw in the upside of rising second-year QB Drake Maye, and Williams should be viewed as a re-draft WR4 with potential WR2 upside if his separation ability and downfield lethalness translate to the next level.

I'm looking forward to betting on Williams in the later rounds of fantasy drafts this Summer.
