Darrell Henderson Jr. News
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (illness) is questionable to make his debut with the team in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. Henderson was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams last week, but he was held out of the Week 12 win over the Baltimore Ravens. With Travis Etienne Jr. (foot) expected to play this Sunday, the 25-year-old Henderson would likely be the No. 3 behind Etienne and JaMycal Hasty if he was active, so fantasy managers should ignore him for the time being. Eventually, Henderson could surpass Hasty on the RB depth chart, but that may not happen anytime soon. He can be left to the waiver wire in most single-year fantasy leagues.
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that it's too early for running back Darrell Henderson Jr. to play in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday after the team just claimed him off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams a couple of days ago. But Pederson did say that the team "loves his physicality, he's a downhill guy." Travis Etienne Jr. will remain Jacksonville's primary running back, but Henderson will provide a between-the-tackles presence behind him once he's up to speed with his new offensive playbook. The 25-year-old led the Rams with 70 carries for 283 yards and three touchdowns while adding 17 catches for 102 yards on 22 targets before he was waived. For now, Henderson will merely be a handcuff option for those that have Etienne rostered.
The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed former Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. off of waivers on Wednesday. The Rams surprisingly waived the fourth-year back on Tuesday and it didn't take long for him to find a new home. Henderson will likely play in a complementary role with Travis Etienne Jr. handling the team's RB1 duties, but he could have fantasy value at some point down the stretch once he familiarizes himself with the offense. For the time being, fantasy managers should only look to stash Henderson in deeper leagues.

Darrell Henderson Jr. was exceptional as the feature back for the Rams last season prior to his trip to the COVID-19 list and prior to suffering a knee injury late in the season. He racked up 15.7 PPR points on 18 opportunities per game, good for RB14 during that stretch. But what's key is the snap share he received. Henderson played on more than 75% of the snaps in six of those 10 games he was the starter. Then Sony Michel took over as the starter in Week 13 and played on an average of 89.7%...
