Henderson ran for 90 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries against Houston on Sunday, adding a three-yard touchdown reception on two targets.
EDGE Analysis
Henderson had an uncharacteristically inefficient game against the Lions in Week 7, so there was reason to believe the talented back would bounce back against the Texans on Sunday. He did just that, and he's quietly putting together a strong season as the Rams' clear RB1. Through seven active games Henderson is up to 648 yards and seven touchdowns from scrimmage -- a standard he should be able to uphold if Matthew Stafford continues to direct a much-improved Rams passing game. He carries another favorable projection as the Rams take on the Titans in Week 9.
