Fantasy Football Week 9: Biggest Sleepers at Every Position | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and R

February 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Last week, we suggested that managers start Darrell Henderson, who had a good number of touches (15) in a game that the Los Angeles Rams trailed from beginning to end, but Royce Freeman took the goal-line carry for a one-yard touchdown.

At 6'0", 238 pounds, and as the bigger ball-carrier compared to Henderson (5'8", 208 lbs), Freeman may have a stronghold on goal-line touches. If so, he could have multiple opportunities to plunge into the end zone against the Green Packers' 26th-ranked run defense that's surrendered seven rushing touchdowns in seven games.

Whether Stafford suits up or not, head coach Sean McVay may prefer his quarterback to hand off the ball 25-30 times to test the Packers' vulnerable run defense rather than go through the air against the league's 11th-ranked pass defense, which bodes well for Freeman and Henderson.

Because of Henderson's involvement in the passing game, he's a better fit for managers in PPR leagues, but as we saw last week, Freeman has the potential to vulture touchdowns in short-yardage situations.
