1. RB Darrell Henderson, LAR vs. Detroit Lions

This week’s best matchup is Darrell Henderson, who is going up against a Detroit Lions defense that is allowing 132.2 yards per game this season. Fantasy managers who have had a running back going up against the Lions this year have been given very solid weeks.

Henderson has remained the Rams unquestioned starter, despite his injury concerns and the usage of Sony Michel. Henderson’s 372 rushing yards are ninth in the league among running backs. He’s being productive on one of the best offenses in football. Having that type of player is a blessing for your fantasy team.

Henderson arguably has the best matchup this week out of any player. He has a top-15 floor and a top-five ceiling this week. In other words, he’s a must start in every format, including your daily fantasy lineup. The Lions have been searching for their first win of the season but it certainly will not come this week against the Los Angeles Rams.
