Darrell Henderson Jr. Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) and tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) both practiced in full on Wednesday and were removed from the final injury report for Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Henderson returned to play in the Week 4 loss to the Arizona Cardinals after missing Week 3, and he saw 19 touches for 116 yards on 89 percent of the offensive snaps. He has a great matchup against a Seahawks defense that has allowed 514 rushing yards and three scores to RBs so far. Treat Henderson as a high-end RB2 in this matchup. Higbee has seen all but one tight end target this year and has 15 receptions for 152 yards and a touchdown in four games. There is clear TE1 upside for him if he can find the end zone in what should be a high-scoring affair.

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. ran well in Week 4, and his matchup gets even better in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The Seahawks have allowed 140 or more yards on the ground in each of their last three games, and they're giving up an average of 4.6 yards per carry. Henderson has at least 53 yards on the ground in each of the three games he's played in so far this year, and despite not scoring a touchdown in Week 3, he caught five passes to elevate his floor. He's a safe bet to receive the majority of the volume in this backfield, and his matchup makes him a great play this week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. didn't show much rust in his return to action in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals after missing Week 3 with a chest injury. He finished the game with 14 carries for 89 yards along with five catches for 27 yards on the day. Unfortunately for Henderson, he was unable to find the end zone, and the team was playing from behind for much of the game, which limited his total number of opportunities. However, it's clear that when he's healthy, the backfield is firmly his. Henderson's 19 touches were 16 more than teammate Sony Michel. Assuming he stays healthy, Henderson will have some RB2 upside on a weekly basis in this strong offense.
