The New England Patriots ruled out running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness) for their Week 10 contest in Munich, Germany, this Sunday, according to Evan Lazar of the team’s official website. Henderson is dealing with a neurological condition and will miss a third straight game. The 24-year-old will not make the trip with the team overseas, and it is fair to wonder when he might be an option again for a Patriots backfield that is also expected to be without RB1 Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) for at least the next couple of games. It sets up Corey Kiner to be a plug-and-play RB2/3 option this weekend in Germany as the Patriots’ lead back. Fantasy managers hurting at the RB position due to injuries and/or bye weeks should pounce on Kiner as a short-term fill-in with the Patriots’ backfield banged up. The 24-year-old former undrafted free agent from Cincinnati handled eight rushing attempts for 55 yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year in the Week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers when Stevenson injured his knee. Henderson continues to lose fantasy value each week due to his illness and uncertain timetable, on top of being the clear RB2 behind Stevenson when he was healthy.–Keith Hernandez
