The Rams elevated Henderson from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson's elevation becomes all the more vital for fantasy managers after Kyren Williams (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Since Henderson rejoined the Rams on Tuesday after previously spending parts of the past four seasons with the franchise, head coach Sean McVay has given the running back plenty of praise. In light of injuries to Williams and Ronnie Rivers (knee), Henderson's familiarity with McVay's system could allow him to earn playing time in a crowded group of backs that includes unproven rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans along with veterans Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin. At the very least, Henderson's elevation from the practice squad signals that he'll likely have a role Sunday.
