New England’s first-round running back TreVeyon Henderson continued his fast start to the NFL, finding the end zone for the second straight week as the Patriots opened Week 2 of the preseason against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. Henderson needed just four rushes to collect 20 yards and capped the opening quarter with a short scoring run, briefly giving New England the lead. The former Ohio State star also flashed as a receiver on a red-zone route that was ruled down at the 1-yard line, underscoring the multidimensional role the Patriots envision for him. Sportsbooks reacted quickly: ESPN BET trimmed Henderson’s Offensive Rookie of the Year price to +1600 after the score, while fantasy analysts noted his rapid ascent on draft boards. Although the final result of the exhibition was not immediately available, Henderson’s back-to-back touchdowns have strengthened his grip on the Patriots’ No. 1 running-back job and added intrigue to a New England offense rebuilding under second-year coordinator Alex Van Pelt.
