Darrell Henderson Jr. Isn't A Top Option In Week 1
3 years agoLos Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. is the team's starting running back after the season-ending injury to teammate Cam Akers, but he's not going to be a top fantasy option in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears defensive strength this season is going to be up front against the run with the healthy returns of Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman, along with the other names in their front seven. Meanwhile, the Rams have the pass-catchers to exploit the back end for Chicago. The Rams also have Sony Michel in the backfield to spell Henderson and keep him healthy throughout the year. Henderson likely sneaks into back-end RB2 category, but he's not going to be an RB1 this week.
