LA cut Henderson on Tuesday with Kyren Williams expected to return this week. Royce Freeman is in line to serve as Williams’ backup going forward, but the Rams can call Henderson up from the practice squad as an extra depth option when needed. Henderson can still be cut from fantasy rosters.

With Williams set to come off IR and serve as the Rams’ lead back, the Rams are once again cutting bait with Henderson. It appears Royce Freeman’s Week 11 performance helped him secure the backup role. It is now safe to drop Henderson from your fantasy rosters.

In what could’ve been his last go as the Rams’ lead back, Henderson was anything but that as Royce Freeman dominated the backfield touches. The Rams used Henderson as a receiving back so he was able to scrounge up some production there. With Kyren Williams set to return in Week 12, Henderson’s days of fantasy relevance may be numbered once again.

Hernderson saw fewer carries than Royce Freeman but was more involved in the pass game. That didn’t amount to much with Brett Rypien starting, with Henderson’s 16 yards finishing third on the team. Henderson has played in a near-even backfield split with Freeman to this point. The Rams offense will hope to get Matthew Stafford (thumb) back following a Week 10 bye.
