The Rams announced on Tuesday that they have waived Henderson off of their roster.

Henderson was signed to the active roster early this month and he ran 46 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns in four appearances. He also caught 10 passes for 103 yards. But Williams is expected to be back for Week 12 and it looks like the Rams will go with Freeman as the RB2, at least until Rivers comes off the IR.

Sean McVay said the Rams will get RB Kyren Williams back against the Cardinals.

Williams has been on IR with an ankle injury, but because of the bye it's been five weeks since he was hurt. Williams should be ready to go in a good matchup in Week 12. With Rivers still on IR, the backup duties will go to either Henderson or Freeman or a combination of both. It may not be fair to expect a huge workload from Williams his first week back in the fold, but he should at least have higher-end RB2 value vs. the Cardinals.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson, who has been limited all week with an elbow injury, is questionable for Sunday, with Robert Saleh saying he feels good about him (and many of the other questionables) playing.

If Garrett Wilson were to miss, no one else on this team outside of Breece Hall could be trusted in fantasy. Lazard has looked awful this year and the rotation behind him is very thin.

Keenan Allen (shoulder) is back at practice today.

Allen had a huge fantasy performance in Week 10, going 11-175-2 on 13 targets but was having shoulder issues after the game. He looks like he will be a full-go for Week 11 and is a must-start against the Packers on Sunday.

Jaylen Warren was announced as a starter for the first time Sunday. He said Tomlin told him the night before.

"He did kind of mention the night before that whatever had transpired throughout the team, he was saying that he was going to announce me and that I'm deserving of it."

In the end, the touches were pretty even for both backs as was the fantasy production. Warren had a 15-101-1 line while Harris went for 16-82-1. Both backs had four targets but it was Harris who finished with 3-14-0 to Warren's 2-9-0 receiving line. Assuming Warren remains the starter he should have a slight edge in the work going forward. Harris should remain involved but will likely slide back in our rankings week-to-week.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Keenan Allen (shoulder) is day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Allen left the game but did return. He should be good to go in Week 11, but it will be worth checking out the injury reports this week just to make sure. Allen finished with 11 catches on 14 targets for 175 yards and two touchdowns.

Jalen Reagor, rookie Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster are now the top three on the depth chart, with 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thornton (a healthy scratch Sunday) and 2023 sixth-rounder Kayshon Boutte (inactive since the season opener) next in line.

The 5-8, 192-pound Douglas is a quick slot receiver whose playing time has spiked the past two weeks (78 of 113 snaps).

It's not a great WR group, but, as they say, someone needs to catch the ball. The story said Reagor has drawn some praise, but we've all been down that road before. If he's on your wire, Douglas could be someone to stash away at this point, especially with his increased playing time recently. The story went on to say Douglas is often sent in motion before the snap, making him a threat as a runner with the possibility of taking a handoff, and has been targeted 13 times the past two weeks.

Rams’ RB Darrell Henderson Jr. will be promoted off the practice squad for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. “Darrell came back in; he's a guy that's going to be up and active this week,” said Rams’ HC Sean McVay. “He's done a great job of being able to quickly re-acclimate himself back to a lot of the things that we've done; he's taking good care of himself in the meantime.”

This sounds like pretty awful news for those of us who rushed to the waiver wire to snatch up Zach Evans this week. McVay has been very giving to his RB1 in recent memory, but we have quite a logjam at the position now, particularly after this Henderson promotion. It's going to be difficult to start any of these options in Week 7.
