Darrell Henderson has been dealing with a rib injury leading up to the matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3, which is just another reason it is probably best for fantasy managers to keep him on the bench this week. To put it simply, the Buccaneers are the absolute worst matchup you can get as a running back when it comes to fantasy production. Sean McVay and the Rams could look to take a page out of the Dallas Cowboys’ playbook, and use the short passing game with Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods to make up for a potential lack of effectiveness in the running game.
The Buccaneers held Ezekiel Elliott to just 33 rushing yards in Week 1 and Mike Davis to 38 rushing yards in Week 2. Although Henderson has proven to be a talented and explosive back, this is a matchup that is just simply too hard to count on him for. If he is held out of the game due to his rib injury, Sony Michel could become a hot commodity as a FLEX option. If this is the case, Michel’s outlook is no better than that of Henderson. Regardless of who is active and inactive in this one, no running backs on the Rams have a good outlook in this one.
