Darrell Henderson, RB, Los Angeles Rams vs. New York Giants

Henderson has taken the reigns of the Rams backfield, with 195 rushing yards (6.0 yards per carry) over the last two games and a touchdown in each. He’s set to keep it rolling in Week 4, with Cam Akers (ribs) out again.

The New York Giants have allowed the10th-most fantasy points to running backs through three weeks. Four running backs (Benny Snell, David Montgomery, Jeff Wilson, Jerick McKinnon) have put up 100 yards (total or rushing) or scored against them. Montgomery did both, with 127 total yards (82 rushing) on 19 touches (three catches) and a receiving touchdown in Week 2.

Montgomery’s Week 2 yardage stat line is a solid baseline for Henderson this week, with ample upside since the Rams’ offense is better. If you need a flex play in deep leagues, Malcolm Brown is viable.

Amari Cooper, WR, Dallas Cowboys vs. Cleveland Browns

Always the bane of his fantasy owners’ existence due to his inconsistency, Copper has been remarkably consistent through three games-13.10, 13.0 and 13.10 fantasy points (0.5-point PPR scoring). He has yet to score this season, but he has topped 80 yards in all three games with at least six catches in each. That scoring drought could end in Week 4.

The Cleveland Browns are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. Cornerback Greedy Williams (shoulder) has already been ruled out for Sunday, and Cooper’s likely matchup, top corner Denzel Ward (groin) is questionable. One of Cooper’s “boom” games could be coming on Sunday. In any case, that high ceiling also comes with a high floor.
