New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is questionable for the team's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury. Should Henderson be unavailable for the game, Corey Kiner is positioned to take on an expanded workload behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Kiner may see additional carries and receive opportunities in short-yardage or goal-line scenarios as the Patriots adjust their offensive strategy. The Seattle Seahawks present a challenging defensive front anchored by Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Derick Hall. Fantasy football managers are monitoring the status of the Patriots' backfield ahead of kickoff to determine if Kiner serves as a viable option for Week 1 rosters.
