Is Darrell Henderson Jr. Playing In Week 13 Against the Jaguars?
Darrell Henderson Jr. has been dealing with a quad injury all week, and after being listed as questionable he will be active and okay versus the Jaguars in Week 13:
It will be interesting to see how much Henderson plays today, given his injury and the fact that the Rams are heavy favorites to win this game. They may decide to limit his workload, and let him rest up for the home stretch.
Is Sony Michel Starting In Week 13 Against the Jaguars?
Earlier today it was announced that Sony Michel is expected to operate as the lead running back for the Rams in Week 13 versus the Jaguars:
With Henderson active but dealing with his injury, it makes sense for Michel to be propelled into a heavier workload for Week 13 to try and keep Henderson fresh.
Should I Start Sony Michel or Should I Darrell Henderson Today?
While Darrel Henderson will be active and available today, it may just be in a very limited capacity or an emergency situation. It's a risk for fantasy football managers to start him, and if they have any other options it may be best to roll with them today instead.
Sony Michel on the other hand should be a solid FLEX option for fantasy football managers, with upside for more potentially. Given his projected increase in touches and targets, he could make for a nice fantasy football play today in a game where the Rams may be leading and running the ball often. Fire Michel up if you are still deciding whether to start him or not.
