The Los Angeles Rams roulette wheel of fantasy running backs continues to spin. After Sean McVay seemingly settled, finally, on a lead RB in the RB room, that lead RB, Kyren Williams has been placed on IR with an ankle sprain and will miss at least 4 weeks. Williams’ backfield-mate Ronnie Rivers has also been sidelined.

McVay pulled Myles Gaskin off of the Vikings practice squad and raised former Rams RB Darrell Henderson from the free-agent ashes to fill out his roster after the injuries. Those moves further muddied the waters surrounding rookie Zach Evans and post-hype veteran Royce Freeman.

With the potential for any number of combinations of snaps, carries, and receptions for LA’s multi-headed monster, neither Henderson, Evans, Gaskin, or Freeman should be on the fantasy-start radar until their actual roles are made clear. Given the injury climate at the position in fantasy this season, all four are potential pick-ups and starts if you’re desperate.
