ANALYSIS: It was initially unclear how Sean McVay would distribute touches within the Rams’ reconstructed backfield, following injuries that had sidelined Kyren Williams (sprained ankle), and Ronnie Rivers (knee).
However, Darrell Henderson has now led the backfield in snaps (68), rushing attempts (30), and rushing yardage (97) since Week 7, while solidifying his status as the most viable fantasy among members of the Rams’ reshaped backfield.
Royce Freeman has now accumulated 59 snaps while accruing 21 carries, and producing 110 yards on the ground during that two-game span.
Henderson also led Los Angeles in carries for a second consecutive game in Week 8 (12), although he was limited to 31 yards on the ground. Royce Freeman carried nine times while assembling 44 yards during the Rams’ matchup with Dallas.
Henderson is also pacing the restructured backfield in routes (43), targets (five), and receiving yards (59), since Week 7. That includes the 54 yards that he accrued as a receiving weapon in Week 8.
He should remain the Rams’ most productive back until Williams reemerges from injured reserve. That elevates him among this week’s backs to target from your waiver wires.
