LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Darrell Henderson gets a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 11. They've only allowed two running backs to gain more than 100 yards from scrimmage on the year.

Henderson isn't getting the workload necessary to really threaten a huge game which is why we have him penciled in as RB31 at the moment. His backfield mate, Royce Freeman, is earning enough work to tank both of their values at the moment. He's in flex consideration, but that's it.

LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Green Bay Packers

Darrell Henderson was out-snapped by Royce Freeman last week in a blowout loss to the Cowboys, but he seemed to get more early-game work before the game became untenable and he led the backfield with 12 carries. He also added three receptions, finishing the game with 85 yards from scrimmage.

This week, Henderson is an intriguing low-end RB2 option in a nice matchup against Green Bay. The Packers rank 26th in aFPA to opposing running backs and Henderson should be able to find space against them. The timeshare makes him a little risky, but we still expect Henderson to lead the way.

LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Dallas Cowboys

Darrell Henderson came right into the fold with 20 opportunities in Week 7. He found the end zone and rushed for 61 yards. It remains to be seen what his long-term role is, though.

Given the uncertainty around his usage and a tough matchup against the Cowboys, it's hard to project a high ceiling for Henderson this week. Fantasy managers should monitor the Rams' backfield situation closely as the week progresses, but for now, it might be wise to look for more reliable options for your RB2 or Flex spots.

LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New Orleans Saints

The Rams backfield continues to be a conundrum as each week there seems to be a change in usage. Last week Darrell Henderson was able to save his fantasy day with a touchdown, but he still shared the backfield evenly with Cam Akers both getting seven opportunities. Further complicating matters is the introduction of rookie running back Kyren Williams. Williams in his first game action led the running backs in targets with three. Based on this usage last week it looks like Henderson will be the lead back, but it seems that he will not only share the carries with Akers, but the passing game work with Williams as well. Another issue for the Rams is the continued revolving door on the offensive line. Last week the Rams lost another starter upfront and could be down four players this week vs. the Saints. Until we get a clearer picture of how this backfield will shake out, it is best to avoid the Rams’ running backs in Week 11.

LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Darrell Henderson quietly took a stranglehold of the Rams backfield in Week 9. Henderson’s 50% of the team’s rush share was his highest number since Week 1. Henderson looked strong on his attempts rushing for 12-56. This completely outshined fellow running back Cam Akers five attempts for three yards on the day. Unfortunately for Henderson, the pass game usage hasn’t been there as he only ran 11 routes and saw one target on 31 Matthew Stafford drop-backs in Week 9.

Heading into Week 10, there is a glimmer of hope for Henderson as the Rams get a rematch vs. the Cardinals. The Rams’ rushing attack showed some signs of life vs. the Cardinals back in Week 3 as Cam Akers rushed for 61 yards and a score. Now with Henderson taking over the lead back role, he is a good bet to lead the backfield in touches in this plus matchup. In three of the last four games, the Cardinals have allowed at least 97 yards to the lead back including Kenneth Walker (21-91-1), Dalvin Cook (20-111), and Kenneth Walker (26-109-2). This matchup along with his increased usage makes Henderson a flex option in Week 10.

LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Rams backfield has been all over the place this season. Darrell Henderson and Cam Akers have traded off being the starter for most of the year, but as of late Akers was removed from the offense as they looked to trade their former lead back. The issue now for fantasy managers is Akers was not traded at the deadline and has returned to practice with the team. This makes the backfield a bit murkier heading into Week 9 as fellow running back Ronnie Rivers led the backfield in touches last week. Finally, rookie running back Kyren Williams could be activated off IR as soon as this week which could add another player into the mix for touches.

This brings us back to Henderson who was struggling with flu-like symptoms which explains why he took a backseat to Rivers. This would lead us to believe Henderson would be the lead back heading into Week 9. The only problem with that mindset is we have seen many teams like the Broncos sit a player like Melvin Gordon only to make him lead back the very next week. This could very well happen with Akers, but if we had to start a Rams running back in Week 9 it would be Henderson. Overall, it’s best to take a wait-and-see approach on the Rams’ backfield this week.

LAR RB Darrell Henderson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. San Francisco 49ers

The news that Cam Akers will not play in Week 8 does provide some clarity to the backfield. Based on this news Darrell Henderson will be the lead back most likely this week. A player to keep an eye on is rookie running back Kyren Williams who will most likely take over as the RB2 in this offense. Either way, the Rams’ offense has been broken all year, and the ground game is no different. The Rams currently rank dead last in rushing yards per game and are only one of two teams to be under 60 yards rushing per game on the season. It’s not going much better in the receiving game either as the Rams running backs only average 20 receiving yards per game. This lack of production has the Rams running backs ranked dead last in fantasy points per game as a team.

This week the Rams get a very tough matchup vs. a banged-up 49ers defense. The 49ers this season haven’t allowed a running back to rush over 60 yards rushing in any game so far in 2022. This has led to only two RBs finishing inside the top 24 on the year vs. San Francisco. Henderson does still hold some value this week as he could find the end zone. However, due to the issues on the offensive line, and the touch matchup, Henderson should be viewed as a flex option at best this week.
