Henderson ran for 45 yards on 15 carries and caught three receptions for 19 yards on six targets against Detroit on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Lions seemed to play the run tough Sunday -- backup Sony Michel produced just four yards on two carries himself -- and Henderson's pass-catching returns were bad relative to the volume, too. Henderson has been steady if not explosive in his other 2021 games, so it's reasonable to expect a bounce back against Houston in Week 8, but it would still be reassuring to see him do more with his targets going forward. Luckily for Henderson, the Rams have no real alternatives. He seems to be good enough for them, but even if he isn't they might need to ride with him anyway.
