Rams hope to have RB Darrell Henderson for Week 1

Aug 24, 2020

Darrell Henderson is dealing with a hamstring injury that he suffered during Saturday’s practice at SoFi Stadium. On Sunday, head coach Sean McVay said that the injury was “mild” and that the team is keeping fingers crossed about Henderson’s availability for the opener.

“We’ll be hopeful that he’ll end up being able to get back and it won’t affect his availability for the Dallas game,” McVay said, via Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.

Fantasy Impact:

The Rams plan to employ a committee of running backs this season, the story added, but it was Henderson who was looking pretty good through camp this point. If Henderson can't go, most seem to think it opens the door for Akers to get more carries. We think Akers is the back to own for the long haul but Henderson and Brown could be bigger factors early on. It's obviously something to watch as we get closer to the season.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
