Darrell Henderson Jr. Elevated Off The Practice Squad

The Rams elevated running back Darrell Henderson Jr. off the practice squad on Saturday ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys. With Kyren Williams (ankle) on injured reserve, Royce Freeman and Henderson were expected to split opportunities out of the backfield in Week 7 versus the Steelers. However, it quickly became evident Henderson was the top option, as he finished the game with more snaps and carries while scoring a touchdown. That said, Freeman should remain involved in Sunday's meeting with Dallas. There's also a chance Zach Evans or Myles Gaskins each get on the field. But it's safe to say Henderson should be the guy fantasy managers should covet, meaning he at least deserves flex consideration.
