ANALYSIS: Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers are both on IR and will miss the next three weeks. The team clearly does not trust sixth-round rookie, Zach Evans. They opted to sign Henderson off the street and signed Royce Freeman from their practice squad. Despite not having been with the team, Henderson came in and functioned as the team's 1A starter. He played on 39 of the team's 68 snaps and ran 13 routes on 32 dropbacks. He earned two targets and 18 carries, which both paced the team's running backs. He finished with 61 rushing yards, one reception of five yards, and a rushing score.

GAIN ACCESSDespite not having been on an NFL team just a few days ago and playing on such short notice, Henderson was able to rack up 66 yards and 13.1 half-PPR points. This makes him a priority add for any team hurting at running back. It's unknown exactly when Williams and Rivers will be back, but they'll for sure miss the next three weeks. During that time, Henderson should be viewed as an RB3 with RB2 upside.
