Henderson Status

[Ramon Ram]

Is this just an administrative move for the week? Need to know if I should hold Henderson for fantasy or pick up Freeman.

(October 23, 2023 7:20 PM ET) Henderson reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
In less than one week, Henderson returned to the Rams via a practice-squad contract last Tuesday, was elevated to the active roster Saturday and started at running back for the team Sunday against the Steelers. He then paced L.A. running backs in snaps (39 of 68) and touches (19) en route to 66 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD in Week 7. Henderson appears to be the biggest beneficiary of both Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) landing on injured reserve last week, but Royce Freeman (12 carries for 66 yards on 29 snaps) also figures to be involved, and coach Sean McVay told Greg Beacham of the Associated Press on Monday that "we'll see how Myles [Gaskin] and Zach [Evans] fit into that equation" this coming Sunday at Dallas.

Just working the practice squad rules to their benefit

Glad this isn't a Hendo hate thread, he is almost as polarizing as Morris & Kendrick

Aside from his rookie yips in 2019 I don't get how anybody doesn't like his game and effort.

I just don't like how he will play about 3 or 4 games and then come down with a small injury that requires him to miss 3 or 4 games

I have to admit that at times Henderson's effort looks like it's been lacking.
He's missing some big holes and has been slow to hit some holes.

But I thought he looked great against the Steelers.

I'm starting Freeman with Montgomery still out.

I wonder how sore he was on Monday? I bet he could hardly walk.

Even if working out regularly… No way he was in game shape.

Well in his defense, that's pretty much every NFL rb.

Who likes Kendricks???

Morris

He served his purpose.
He came out of the gate quick, with a 16 yard burst. However, he followed that effort with 17 carries for a mere 45 yards (2.64 YPC)
I expect to see Gaskin get his shot this weekend

Henderson was definitely out more often than most RBs

Yeah the attempt to portray Henderson as a victim is fucking stupid. Dude got criticized and rightly so for what he does. But nobody here hates him, not even me, and I'm probably the one who ranted about him more than anyone.

WTF ? Wilbert (Philly) maybe Jared Goff is on your mind in Detroit ?

Cry me some Ricers.Had he not gotten hurt,would that have changed much ?

Jake last week predicted his stats well.I doubted them & thought Freeman would have taken the Bulk of the Carrie’s.

18 Henderson
12 Freeman

Henderson scoring a TD paid good & the thing that really stands out with Henderson coming back off the streets is ?

Well first of us he kept himself in excellent shape like Mcvay said & knows the offense .

—It’s how good The Rams Offensive Line is blocking since Dotson has been starting at RG.

I'm starting Henderson over Freeman lol

Yeah, Henderson didn't impress me last week. I thought Freeman ran much better. Henderson's value was knowing the offense and pass pro.
