Rams hope to have RB Darrell Henderson for Week 1

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.
