Henderson (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old received the questionable tag after he was absent from Friday's practice due to an illness, and he won't be suiting up for Sunday's contest. Henderson may have been inactive regardless of the ailment since Travis Etienne (foot) is available. JaMycal Hasty and Snoop Conner will operate as Jacksonville's backup tailbacks.

Henderson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after missing practice Friday due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Fellow running back Travis Etienne (foot) is also listed as questionable, but trending toward active status after logging limited practices this week. Per Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union, coach Dog Pederson indicated that Henderson would likely be inactive on game day if Etienne is available, as the newcomer "continues to grow and learn the (Jaguars') offense." With that in mind, JaMycal Hasty and Snoop Conner figure to handle change-of-pace duties Sunday, assuming Etienne suits up versus Detroit.

Henderson (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Rams on Wednesday, but he won't suit up for the Jags after spending only a couple days with the team. Henderson should serve as the top backup to Travis Etienne once he's learned the offense, but JaMycal Hasty will remain in that role Sunday.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Henderson isn't in line to play Sunday against the Ravens, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The running back is still in the process of learning Jacksonville's offense, so he doesn't look like he'll debut with his new team until Week 13 against the Lions. On the plus side, Henderson, who dealt with a knee issue Week 11 before being waived by the Rams and claimed by the Jaguars -- doesn't appear on Jacksonville's injury report this week. Once he's up to speed with the playbook, Henderson should carve out a key complementary role behind top back Travis Etienne.

The Jaguars claimed Henderson (knee) off waivers from the Rams on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson, who was leading the Rams with 283 rushing yards through 10 games, was waived Tuesday, but he's quickly found a new landing spot. Per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, the running back dealt with a knee issue in Week 11, but by Monday he reportedly felt fine. Once Henderson is up to speed with the Jaguars' playbook, he'll likely carve out a complementary role behind clear-cut top back Travis Etienne.

The Rams waived Henderson (knee) on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
One day removed from coach Sean McVay explaining away Henderson's lack of usage during Sunday's loss at New Orleans as the product of a knee issue, the Rams may be moving on from the fourth-year pro. There's a chance this is simply a procedural move and the team will re-sign Henderson to the practice squad if he clears waivers, but any team can claim him by Wednesday's deadline, so he could find himself with a different organization in the near future.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Henderson "felt a little something in his knee" before Sunday's loss at New Orleans, which limited him to two carries and four offensive snaps, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson started Sunday and handled the first two carries of the game, but he received no touches thereafter as rookie Kyren Williams and Cam Akers got the rest of the Rams' running back reps. Overall, Williams logged 35 of 64 plays on offense en route to eight touches for 44 yards from scrimmage, while Akers notched 25 snaps and 14 carries for 61 yards. With an injury confirmed for Henderson, his status will be monitored this week to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's contest at Kansas City.

Henderson rushed twice for nine yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson was the tertiary rushing option out of the backfield on Sunday, with just four offensive snaps. With Cam Akers and Kyren Williams combining for 21 rushing attempts for 97 yards, Henderson appears to be the odd man out in this three-headed running back committee since Williams' return from an ankle injury. A Week 12 showdown with a Chiefs defense that has proven stingy against the run will make it even more difficult to trust the veteran running back.

Henderson carried the ball six times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The TD salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective, but the Rams' backfield featured a three-way split of the workload between Henderson, Cam Akers and Kyren Williams, and none of them saw more than seven touches. Without more volume, it will be tough for any of the trio to produce useful numbers on a consistent basis, making them all risky options in Week 11 against the Saints.

Henderson carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
His numbers were modest, but Henderson was by far the most effective option in the Rams backfield as Cam Akers and Malcolm Brown combined for 12 yards on seven carries. With the team's offensive line struggling though, it will be tough for any Los Angeles RB to produce useful fantasy numbers, even in Week 10 against an Arizona defense that's allowed a 100-yard rusher in back-to-back games.
