BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The 6’ 0”, 195-pound Ronnie Rivers stockpiled 4,838 total yards while performing collegiately at Fresno State (3,417 rushing/1,421 receiving). Rivers was later signed as an undrafted free agent by Arizona before eventually being signed to the Rams’ practice squad in September.
Rivers was also activated prior to Los Angeles’s Week 8 matchup with NFC West rival San Francisco and ultimately led the Rams in rushing attempts (eight) and rushing yards (21). He also captured all four of his targets and assembled 15 yards as a receiver.
Darrell Henderson only carried four times and manufactured 16 yards while collecting both of his targets and producing 14 receiving yards. Malcolm Brown also managed 10 yards with his five rushing attempts.
The Rams' backfield remains unsettled as Cam Akers is not currently included in the team’s rotation. Sean McVay also does not appear inclined to deploy Henderson as the team’s unquestioned feature back. Malcolm Brown is not a candidate for a massive role and it remains uncertain when Kyren Williams will be activated from injured reserve.
These factors warrant adding Rivers this week. He possesses three-down capabilities and could secure a temporary role until Williams emerges.
