Will the Los Angeles Rams have running backs Darrell Henderson and Cam Akers back in the near future?
Both running backs have been out of practice for over a week, but head coach Sean McVay said Henderson has started ramping up a little bit.
“Darrell was able to run full speed today. We were able to get a workout in on the grass,” McVay said Saturday. “Cam wasn’t able to do that quite yet. I’m really excited about getting Darrell back out there for us.”
Before Cam Akers went down with a season-ending injury last year, the Rams had been going with a shared approach at the running back position. But Henderson turned into a formidable player for any fantasy football team down the stretch.
Check out where we have the Rams backfield ranked in fantasy football ahead of this season.
Darrell Henderson & Cam Akers Fantasy Football Ranking
In our Stokastic fantasy football cheat sheet, we have Cam Akers ranked as the #20 running back on the board, with Darrell Henderson checking in at no. 39 on the list.
While Sean McVay is looking forward to getting his running back room back to full strength, he’s taking a patient approach with both guys.
“I think we’re just taking it a day at a time,” McVay said. “I know those guys want to be out here, and so do we. We want them out there and they need to be able to get out there and get the work, but not at the expense of setting themselves back even further. It truly is kind of a day-to-day thing with them.”
In the meantime, Kyren Williams, Trey Ragas and Jake Funk will get looks at the running back position.
