RB Darrell Henderson, LAR (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Interseptopus
- Start date
If he is vaccinated he’d only be tested if he self reports symptoms
ETA- Actually, and this is good Sony owners to know. Let’s assume Sony is vaxxed so he can’t miss games for close contact. He can however be made to test daily for 5 days. So if he’s close contact good chance he’ll get tested next two days.

my opponent had him, now rolling with Singletary
that’s a shame
that’s a shame
If LAR can go into Arizona and beat them on Sony's legs, it's going to be fantasy mayhem in week 15.

What kind of odds do you put on Swift getting IR'd? And when if so? Do they need the roster spot today?I said what I said

I expect him to be back in the lineup next week
Your average FBG thinks he’ll get shutdown

I doubt he matters next year with Akers coming back and Michel in the fold. Teams should have traded him this year IMO, whether in the playoffs or not. With COVID, I could see teams holding out hope for Henderson if they are in the playoff mix, but now they are stuck with him for 2022 and that probably is a bad thing.

Michel will be an UFA and could very well be signed away, but your point about Akers remains.

I also think Michel has played his way to a bigger contract elsewhere....as for Akers - we are talking about an achilles injury. Even if he returns it is doubtful the Rams would give him a bell cow load. Henderson should be able to remain relevant and a decent #3 RB next year at worst. I like Michel as a #2 if he stays healthy and goes into a good situation. Guy is talented and finally seems healthy

I do think he's unstartable until we see something out of him, but I do wonder how much last night was driven by the fact that he was just coming back from Covid. We've seen that happen a fair amount (including with the Dolphins this past weekend, when Duke Johnson took over lead-back roles during Gaskin's first game back).
Just saying I wouldn't rush to drop him yet

As much as I initially invested in Henderson (not anymore) it's time to stop this. He will be in no man's land next year, so hope he gets another opportunity in 2023 when he's a UFA.

A less talented version.
He was a decent value for me in redraft this year, but then he got Wally Pipp’d but Michel, and now Akers is back making a 3-headed cluster.
I usually say things like “good for RL football, bad for FF”, but I’m not even sure it’s good for RL football.
Sure, McVay gets to keep all 3 backs fresh, but he lacks a “go to” guy on 3rd or 4th and 1 when he desperately needs to get that 1 yard. I’m not sure any of the 3 can be counted on as a specialist, though Sony is arguably the worst receiving back of the bunch, so maybe that helps. A little.
If I had to roster one in FF I’d want Akers, because I still see a path to future feature back relevance if he continues to improve off of his injury.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Henderson will be in a RBBC with Akers, who has a host of red flags, on a team that could potentially lead the NFL in TDs. That has value for sure.

If I remember correctly someone went back and forth defending Henderson to the death, was that you? I was in the Henderson corner for a long time, but I'm smart enough to realize when to jump ship, or at least do that for the remainder of this contract. I believe it will be clear that Akers will get the lions share of carries going forward barring injury and Michel will be mixed in some, as well as Henderson. That isn't a good recipe for fantasy success IMO.

This. Kudos to anyone who got a haul for him when he spiked this season, but he has clear value as a bench player in any credible 12-team dynasty league.
If you're counting on him to be your RB3 next season, you're probably not thrilled. As an RB5, I love the upside of what he might be able to bring for a stretch of games if Akers has any setbacks. It will be interesting to see what the Rams add if Michel walks in free agency.

I don't see how anyone could "love the upside". I doubt anyone got a haul for him at his best moments, but I hope most sold him when they had the opportunity. You couldn't get a bag of skittles for him now, so he is an obvious hold. I was able to get rid of him in most leagues except one. I'm hoping for a revival in 2023 when he's a UFA.

It's all relative. You definitely don't want to be counting on him for weekly production in 2022. The value is marginal, but clearly it's there in all but the shallowest bench leagues. I can't imagine many dynasty owners are actually debating whether he's rosterable. It's not even a question of 2022 vs UFA 2023 for me. If Michel walks and the Rams don't do anything major to replace him, he might present more value in 2022 than 2023.
I'll put it this way, which dynasty RBs# 43-60 do you like better to pop off for solid production in a 4 to 6 game stretch in 2022? There's plenty to like as a low-end RB4 / RB5. If your fantasy roster has the bench size to collect 3 or 4 guys like this, one of them usually factors in to your backfield in a major way.

I didn't say he wasn't roster-able, but he sure isn't tradable, so he might as well stay parked on benches until he gets another opportunity, which I don't see happening without injury or with another team in 2023.
It definitely wasn't me. I was very anti-Henderson until this season.
I think there is a near-zero chance Sony Michel is on the Rams next season. He's an UFA, and will get better offers than being a #3 RB.

It might have been me, actually
I’m not sure I was defending him to the death, but he was one of my “RB dead zone” redraft targets this year.
That was when Akers was (reasonably) thought to be done for the year, and Sony was considered a washed out plodder with a gimpy knee.
and for the most part he was worth his 5th round pick. Right up until he hurt his ribs. And even then, he missed a game, and came right back to took the reins from Sony Michel.
Then he got hurt again. :(
Some guys are just fragile.

No it wasn't you. It was someone that argued for Henderson to a ridiculous level. One finally had to quit arguing with him, it was useless. I can't remember who it was, but my guess it resides in this thread somewhere. I just don't find it important enough to find out. Maybe it was another thread, or I was thinking of a different player, but I thought it was Henderson.It might have been me, actually

I doubt any team will view DH as a workhorse back. You're right, he's just too damn fragile. I'm thankful I got rid of most of my shares and only stuck with one.

Understood. There was a comment from another poster concerning rosterability, but I don't think that they were even saying he wasn't worthy of a bench spot. I get it, I have no hopes of any NFL team ever making Henderson "the guy" in their backfield. Probably a rotational RB from here out. It probably will take an injury for him to be any kind of consistent threat in fantasy. Durability has been the biggest issue with him, but he has flaws as a runner beyond that.
Let's just say I'm somewhere between:
- lucky to get Twizzlers / pack of Skittles / not seeing how anyone could love the upside by the standards of an RB5
- the guy in my redraft league who traded D-Hop -for- DH and Boyd (after Higgins was cleared to return)

stud. sleeper for sure. Cam Akers will never be the same guy( was he even good to begin with?). Akers can only make one cut in camp practices, and only on the non injured foot. he's far from returning to the field in a regular season game. never has a RB returned to his former self after an Achilles.
Add to this the fact that Stafford's elbow is about to explode - shut down all preseason, barely throwing on the sidelines. he's not throwing 40x/gm to WRs on deep routes , he's throwing 5 yards down to DH.

Love Darrell Henderson. Whenever given the chance to produce, he does. If Aker goes away, we'd have a Top 10 RB here.
Although, I think the deal with him is that he can't withstand that many cares so he might be destined for a timeshare. The offense is great and he has talent. Great emergency option for fantasy. "I had to start Henderson and he caught 5 passes and scored a touchdown".

I think Darrell Henderson is a tremendous buy right now, I just have a shaky feeling about Cam Akers ability to fully recover from the devastating achilles injury.

Henderson hasn’t had the big yards but has been THE RB while Akers has looked like he did in the playoffs. This is a tough game but if Henderson can get the call like this Henderson could be the best late round pick in the draft.
