Is Sony Michel Starting Tonight Against The Seahawks? Should I Start Darrell Henderson?

Sony Michel fantasy football rankings running backs waiver wire

Week 15 has been a wild week for the NFL and fantasy football managers. With the first week of the fantasy playoffs here, there was an incredible amount of COVID and injury news, including several games pushed back to Monday or Tuesday.

One of the games moved was tonight's Rams versus Seahawks matchups, giving fantasy managers an even trickier landscape to navigate when making start/sit decisions, especially with the Rams running backs. Let's take a look at Michel's Week 15 outlook against the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday Night Football.

Is Sony Michel starting tonight again for the Rams? Is Darrell Henderson playing and making his return this week? Should I start Sony Michel in Week 15, even if Darrell Henderson is active? Let's dig into the Rams running backs situation and what to expect.

 

Is Sony Michel Starting In Week 15 Against the Seahawks?

Coach Sean McVay is being vague and tight-lipped, as usual, about the Rams running backs situation in Week 15. We know that Darrell Henderson has been activated from the COVID-19 list, and is expected to play. We also know that Sony Michel has filled in well for the past two weeks as the starting RB, and will remain involved in the game plan.

We can't say for certain who will be the starting RB in Week 15, but there's a decent chance that Michel remains the lead back with both players involved:

 

Is Darrell Henderson Playing In Week 15 Against The Seahawks?

After missing the past two games with an injury, and also being placed on the COVID-19 list, running back Darrell Henderson is expected to make his return and play in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. It should be noted that two weeks ago Henderson was also active for the game, but did not end up playing. There is always a risk that Henderson doesn't actually play (or play a lot), but the likelihood seems low.

The most likely scenario is that Henderson will be active tonight, will play, and will be involved in the Rams game plan. It's tough to say with certainty how much action he will see, making him a risky start for fantasy football managers.

 

Should I Start Sony Michel or Should I Start Darrell Henderson?

Sony Michel looks to be emerging as a reliable late-season option for Sean McVay. He's healthy, and without a lot of wear and tear from the regular season, providing a nice boost for the Rams offense and running game.

On the other hand, Darrell Henderson is trying to shake off a recent injury and a stint on the COVID-19 list. The Rams are going to want to keep Henderson healthy, and have him at his strongest for the playoffs run, making his situation a bit murky for Week 15.

Sony Michel will likely get a lot of carries tonight, but not be involved in the passing game, making him a low-end RB2/FLEX option for fantasy managers. Henderson is more of a question mark, and has a wide range of outcomes including: not playing at all, being featured in the offense, and everything in between. Realistically he should play and operate as the pass-catching back at minimum, but the uncertainty makes him a lower-end RB3/FLEX option for fantasy managers.

Be sure to check back for any additional injury updates and additional news on Henderson and Michel as we approach the Tuesday Night Football matchup.
