Darrell Henderson Fantasy Profile: An in-depth look at the Los Angeles Rams running back for 2021
During the six-week stretch (from Week 2 until Week 7) in which he was operating as L.A.'s lead back in 2020, Henderson ranked as Fantasy's RB13. He averaged 16.5 touches and 86 scrimmage yards in those games. He finished as a top-12 Fantasy RB in half of the games during that six-week stretch and was a top-24 Fantasy RB in all but one week.
Henderson's 2021 output could be even better than in 2020; L.A.'s offense should be improved with Matthew Stafford at QB, and he'll no longer be splitting reps with Malcolm Brown. There's no guarantee that he'll hold onto the starting job all season, but without a clear replacement option waiting to take the starting gig, Henderson seems like a clear value with an average draft position of RB19 heading into 2021.
Henderson is a clear top-20 Fantasy RB pick for season-long leagues, but just how high should he be ranked at the position in Dynasty formats with Cam Akers likely to make a return in 2022?
