Darrell Henderson Jr.

Rams running back Darrell Henderson is active for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, but he’s not expected to receive his normal workload.

Fantasy Impact

The 24-year-old was listed as questionable with a thigh injury. Although he’s active, reports indicate that Henderson won’t be the feature back. This suggests that Sony Michel will see an increased role and could even start, especially if Henderson is only available in emergency situations. Fantasy managers should not start Henderson this week.

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Rams RB Darrell Henderson Jr. (thigh) is a game-time decision for Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Henderson will test his ailing thigh during pregame warmups. However, the Rams are not optimistic about his playing status. Barring a turnaround, Henderson looks to be trending toward an inactive designation, which means Sony Michel will operate as the Rams' RB1. While the Jaguars appear to be a terrific matchup, it's by name only. The Jags are allowing the 12th most FPPG to enemy backs according to FantasyPros, but they have surrendered single-digit fantasy points to the top-scoring opposing rusher in four of their past six games, including two straight. Start Michel due to presumed workload, but temper expectations. He may not pop but should return a decent floor.

This is something to monitor as the Rams have a good matchup for whoever starts at running back. If Sony Michel is called upon to be the lead back then he immediately becomes an RB2.

Fantasy Impact

Coach Sean McVay doesn't seem overly worried about Henderson's availability, but this is a situation to monitor throughout the week. Sony Michel is a must-roster handcuff right now.
