The New England Patriots will have a decision to make at their running back position. While Rhamondre Stevenson currently remains sidelined with a toe injury, the veteran is facing some stiff competition for the No. 1 job once he returns: rookie TreVeyon Henderson has looked very good during Stevensons absence, with his game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday a career performance.
Unsurprisingly, a majority of fans wants the team to keep riding the hot hand. As a look at the results of this weeks SB Nation Reacts survey shows, 58% want Henderson to serve as RB1 the rest of the season.
Like the survey overall, however, the comment section also was not tilted significantly one way or the other:
All in all, this weeks survey results look as follows:
Besides the running back question, we also once again asked fans about their confidence in the team. Even though the Patriots played a close game against the Buccaneers, winning 28-23, an overwhelming majority of fans (98%) is feeling good about the clubs direction.
A similar number (97%) believe that the Patriots will come away victoriously on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. Out of all the participants in the weekly survey, 83% picked the home team to win by more than one score.
