TreVeyon Henderson is carving a true three-down role for the New England Patriots, flashing a mix of speed, burst, and passing-game capability that could vault him into fantasy relevance even with Rhamondre Stevenson still in the lineup. In preseason action, he’s shown the kind of versatility that should yield solid touches and big-play opportunities, especially as New England uses him in screen packages and in the return game.

Jerome Ford is positioned as a Browns backfield value with questions around the early workload and competition from Dylan Sampson and other options. Ford’s late-2024 form—highlighted by strong performances down the stretch and Week 16 yardage against Cincinnati—helps anchor a ground-heavy approach in Week 1. With boost from Browns’ commitment to the run, Ford could be a bold dart at favorable odds as Cleveland leans on the ground game early.

Week 1 betting props spotlight Henderson at +155 and Ford at +265, underscoring the upside in their offenses. The Raiders’ defense, while still stout, saw top run-stoppers depart, creating exploitable avenues for Henderson. Cleveland’s run-heavy plan and Ford’s recent form push him into a compelling value spot. PFF’s new Player Props tool adds matchup data and hit rates to sharpen these calls and help fantasy players edge sportsbooks in Week 1.
