If I had to bet on five running backs to pay off in fantasy in a major way this season,

it'd be the guys in this video. Because everything points to these players having a ton of upside this year, and most of them are being undervalue. These running backs can change the entire outlook of your fantasy season, and if you're not familiar, I'm Salvatra. I've been helping people win their fantasy leagues for eight years, and I plan to do the same for you in this video. And we're going to start with the Patriot second round rookie Trevion Henderson, who we've liked all offseason, the 22 year old out of Ohio State. And I mean, if you paid attention at all to the preseason and people will say you shouldn't pay attention to the preseason. You should if you actually care about fantasy. This is like the only time that you get to see a little bit of a sneak peek of what the first team offenses look like, yeah, that's valuable. And if you watch the preseason, you know that in his first touch ever, Trevi on Henderson, it's a hundred yard kickoff return for a touchdown. I mean, I don't want to play this too much because I might get an copyrighter over on YouTube these days, but you can just see, finds the whole, makes one cut, and then he has the speed that you know about for, four speed at the NFL Combine for his size is pretty solid. Okay, everything about Trevia Henderson that we love, we got to see in that play.

He's a big play machine. He's great in space. He has speed. We love it. And then he would go on in that first preseason game and split the backfield for the first team usage with Ramandre Stevenson, which is the expectation right now. But the good thing here, as you can see from my tweet, Henderson is already appears to be ahead of Antonio Gibson on the depth chart. That's a veteran running back Antonio Gibson, who is highly efficient, especially as a pass catcher last year, Henderson, which you would expect is the second round pick, draft capital, already ahead of him and already competing kind of neck and neck with Ramandre. So that's a great start to the preseason for Henderson, who's only going to have the rest of the preseason and just the start of the year to kind of take over

that backfield even more. Now, if you're not familiar, this is not just some guy who's known for his speed and having kickoff returns on special teams. As a freshman at Ohio State, he had over 1,200 rushing yards, 19 touchdowns. When you factor in his receiving or as a freshman again. So total yards,

rushing and receiving nearly 1,600 total yards in the big 10 against legit defenses like

every single year, the linebackers from Penn State, legit dudes. And the ball security for this guy's

insane. He had zero fumbles on 667 college touches when you have coaches like Mike Vrable

leading this team. They're going to like that. And last season, Henderson was the only running back in college football to have 1,000 rushing yards, 200 receiving yards, and over 7 yards per carry. And context matters, because when you look at his metrics, let's just look at them. When you look at his stats from last year, you'll notice like, oh, he only had 1,000 yards across 16 games, right? his most games in college and he only has a thousand rushing yards, right? In his freshman year, he had 13 games at over 1,200.

What gives? thousand yards across 16 games, right? His most games in college and he only has a thousand

rushing yards, right? In his freshman year, he had 13 games at over 1,200. What gives? Well, last year, if you know, if you follow college football at all, he split a backfield with another second round pick, Quintan John Jenkins, who has his own legal issues right now, might not even play football this year, who knows? But in terms of the college prospect, Quinshan John Jenkins, he was a good player, a thousand plus yards in three straight seasons in college,

and Trevion Henderson was still able to carve out a total of 1,300 total yards with his receiving production while competing with a legit NFL back in Junkins. Now, he also has a very strong athletic profile, a 4-4-3-40 time. We mentioned at the top, you kind of saw that top end speed on that kickoff return, 81st percentile speed.

The burst is what you're really going to see, his explosiveness, his ability to kind of just get in and out of his breaks, especially in the short areas of the field in between the tackles. Ninety-first percentile is what we're seeing there. All of these things are why the Patriots took him 38th overall. Reports came out after the NFL draft that multiple teams were trying to trade up either at the Patriots pick or right before to take a Trevion on Henderson like the Chicago Bears. And the Patriots said, now we're going to stick here and take this stud is what I assume they were thinking. Now, the backfield last year for New England was Antonio Gibson and Stevenson. Neither guy was consistent. Both guys dealt with injuries. Both guys had fumbling issues.

Gibson was solid from a receiving perspective. Remandre was just kind of average everywhere. He kind of dealt with some injuries but had the fumbling issues. You now get Trevianne Henderson, who's coming in here, who, in my opinion, has the abilities due to the pass protection, due to his ability to catch passes to be a three down back in all situations, not only in between the 20s, but also in the red zone and in the two-minute offense. And when you start to

unlock that three-down back. catch passes to be a three down back in all situations, not only in between the 20s, but also in

the red zone and in the two-minute offense. And when you start to unlock that three-down back potential, it's kind of in a lot of ways like a Christian McCaffrey, might be somewhat undersized, but he's playing in the red zone, he's playing in the two-minute offense, he's playing on third down and longs. This is where the real upside comes from at Treviann Henderson, whose head coach is now Mike Vable, a guy who loves to lean on running the ball. Every single one of Mike

Rable's teams in terms of where he's coached has been top two in the NFL and rush attempts in rushing yards during the peak years of that. Now, of course, that's just going to really be highlighted when you're looking at it as Derek Henry and the Titans. And Derek Henry is what that team was built around when Ryan Tannhill and some other guys are your quarterback. So it is a little bit skewed, but overall,

Mike Rable likes defense, likes running the ball. Now, we can look at the team changes tracker. This is a part of my fantasy blueprint. If you want to check it out, you can check it out down below at Join the Blueprint.com, but this is just showing all the key offensive changes this season. A big thing that they did was to address the offensive line.

Will Campbell, a top five picket left tackle in the NFL draft, probably the best tackle in the draft.

Morgan Moses, he's getting older, probably going to play right tackle. So they upgrade their tackle position. They get Garrett Bradbury at center. Not sure how much that really changes stuff. Jared Wilson at center in the draft as well. We'll see what they do with that position. But overall, they improve their tackle play. And I'm not, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. I'm not going to say it's going to make the Patriots the best offensive line in the league. They were probably a

bottom five unit last year. The goal now is that they're just closer to middle of the pack. But if you can get closer to middle of the pack, that's going to help Drake May. He's not going to have to scramble for his life. It's going to sustain more drives. It's obviously going to help the running lanes as well for Trivion Henderson. And if we also look at the team changes tracker, they did bring in Stefan Diggs, who looks

like the clear alpha on this team.

They did bring in Kyle Williams, who is fighting for a starting job, Matt Collins, who will probably make the team a veteran receiver. So the idea here is that these combinations, plus Trevion and Henderson in the draft, the second round pick, these combinations will make the offense better. The coaches, you get some adults in the room there as well, makes the entire offense, makes the entire team better, sustained drives, and Trevinan Henderson out of the backfield will help you sustain drives. So we're talking about your second down in 12s, your third down in fives. He's going to be out of the backfield as a receiver. All this to say that where he currently goes, and after some of these preseason performances and what we've been getting out of him in training camp like he currently goes right now as a fifth round pick late fifth early sixth
