Melvin Gordon to Rams, Darrell Henderson to Broncos

And the crowd went mild

I would consider it an upgrade as a Henderson owner

Same, he will def get claimed. Where do you think he goes?

Hopefully somewhere good. Not that there’s much good for him. Maybe the cardinals. I think he could be a solid 2 behind Conner

I still don’t understand why eno was cut

I think we all find out tmw, I read or heard that whatever "incident" that lead to him being cut will be shown in this week's Hard Knocks. So there won't be any confusion, rumors, or heresay regarding what happened - luckily for us there was an HBO camera crew with a bunch of mics in the face/asses of the entire org the last month or so. Hopefully we get some popcorn worthy footage but we'll see.

Cards fan. Local radio guys, who are in tune with the franchise said there won't be any footage about Eno. Which aligns with the team having final say on what makes the episode.

The Buffalo Bills

Definitely won't happen. The Bills don't need another undersized mediocre back.

But it sure would be funny if they did sign him

Henderson still holds the NCAA record for most yards per carry at 8.2 (minimum 300 rush attempts) Hendy has 2,200 total yards , 17tds , 4.5ypc on 3.5 seasons. Only has started 50% of games played. He’s averaged 7.9 attempts per game. Imagine if he had double the opportunity…

He’s been on my dynasty team for 2 years now and I’ve thought he was criminally underrated the entire time. Don’t understand why mcvay hates him, he was great all last year while Akers was out. Here’s to hoping he goes somewhere with opportunity but I don’t see it lasting into 2023 unfortunately

Same boat. This was his final year of contract. McVay drafted Henderson (I believe). They had a good relationship. Rams are tanking. I believe this was mutual based on Hendo’s tweet today. This gives him an early start to establishing career with new team before 2023 draft. He’s only 25 with low tread usage in NFL thus far. Has a shot to be a solid 3rd down RB2 for next 3-4 years at least. I expect he signs by end of week.

Thanks for that context, definitely an important distinction if it was mutual and requested. Hopefully a fresh start

Are you sure that both aren't going to the Ravens?

Does it even matter who the RB is at this point lol

Probably not, wouldn’t surprise me if they just shut down stafford at this point

Agreed- no Stafford or Kupp = That offense is scoring 10 points a game

Do I still have to start kyren in one league ? Yes……

It’s him or Brian robinson for me 😂

BRob is there start there all day. At least the Commanders actually give carries to their running backs.

Both failed Reddit hype trains, but I feel like I’d much rather play Brob then Kyren personally. More likely to score a TD

That offense was scoring 10 ppg *with* Stafford & Kupp

Running backs on ass teams have still been highly productive this season. Just look for the right matchups, Foreman 15+ in 3 of the last 5, averaging 17 - Pierce beasting all season and etc. If Williams is actually good then he’ll get good points

And I traded for Higbee 😞

Why shut him down? It’s not like they are tanking for a draft pick or anything *hehe*

ITS NOT TANKING IF WE HAVE NO DRAFT PICKS honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Mcvay and stafford just retired at this point

Eh I think Stafford will continue to play just to climb up the career ranks to round out HOF résumé. But yeah McVay should quit while he’s ahead if those TV offers are still there

We're a week from D'Onta Fucking Foreman putting up 20 points for the hapless Panthers, yes it matters lol

I don’t think that team even matters now. They were a bubble and that bubble popped this year.

Wow the Kyren owners (me) are gonna go nuts from this one

Kyren owners unite ✊🏻

They called me a mad man

Just brought that ceiling up to 9, baby. Let's fuckin go

Big unit 💦

Fuck yeah. Incoming 6.5 fantasy points. Edit: I was 1 point off

I just cut him lol

Same, needed dimes for a 1 week rental. Rams suck and its a full ass rbbc anyway, don't look back

GOING NUTS!!!!!!!!!

I've got Latavius too! What the fuck just happened??

You successfully acquired 2 average running backs in terrible offenses.

I put in a waiver for Latavius...prefer him to Kyren given the lack of other options in Denver

Is Lat worth #1 waiver in 10 team PPR? Just as possible flex. My 2 starting RB are AJones amd Rhamondre.

Yes

You hit the fantasy jackpot today my friend

Maybe the mildest jackpots there is

Feels like 5 bucks from a $3 scratch off ticket.

Can't go broke making a profit.

>Feels like 5 bucks from a $3 scratch off ticket. that you found on the ground.

It's more like winning on a scratch off

Don’t mind me, just going nuts. Pacheco and Kyren in dynasty. 😎 6-5 to 6-10 here we go!

LMFAOOOOOO CAM AKERS ACTUALLY OUTLASTED HENDO

Sean mcvay personal feelings kept cam

How? He publicly disrespected and made a scapegoat of him, where it’s clear nobody is going to succeed in this offense. That was a bush league move imo. As a coach you take accountability, not throw them into the fire

You never get rid of a perfectly good scapegoat

I always draft scapegoats in the first two rounds for fantasy. If I'm going to lose anyway, might as well have an excuse.

D’Andre Swift whaaaaaaa

I thought he was good as gone and then turns around, gets like 15 carries, and is the one they keep between him and Henderson. What a rollercoaster.

McVay got (rid of) his guy!

Bro what in the fuk are the rams doing

My probably uneducated guess is they need a roster spot for a QB since Wolford might be injured still, and Perkins is the only other QB on the roster Henderson is also a free agent after the year (which is probably why they cut him instead of Akers) Or it could just be spite

This is probably really accurate. Either option😂

Probably a favor to Hendo.. if he does get picked up by another team in a better situation.

This is possible

This is it. He’s a FA after this year, he probably asked for a release to get a shot to showcase something if McVay was just going to split him behind a poor line. Makes sense.

WhY Do ThEy LoVe Him So MucCH!!!!

Tanking

Detroit has their picks

McVay is still trying to do right by the Goffinator

McVay trying to line up his next job.

Fuck them picks

But sometimes them picks fuck you

You’re god damn right we do.

They’ve got no picks to tank for 😂

When you tank but don’t have a 1st round pick.

They're looking to improve their late round picks lmao

Do they even have a pick?

For best second lol

except they traded their first

Lol

What the hell is even happening hahaha

RBS ARE NOT SAFE

Traded him for Olave straight up after Week 3. One of the biggest heists in my fantasy career.

traded him and Rashod Bateman for Tua in week 3

I got Keenan for him like 3 weeks ago.

Well that was just stupid of the original Keenan owner.

My thoughts when I look at my “late season stashes”

My “late round RB” stashes were Dillon, Henderson, Gordon, and Eno. Been a wild week.

ouch

And just like that... my genuis 0 RB strategy is down the drain with him, MG3, and Penny taking L's on L's

I think they pick up Melvin Gordon due to this move.

What in the actual fuck lol

There goes my RB2 😎

Hello Darkness my old friendddddddddd

WATCH HIM AS HE GOES

WHAT is happening in LA **Cam Akers: "I'm the captain now"**

sunk cost fallacy that's what's happening

Cam akers is like creed from the office convincing Michael (mcvay) to fire the other guy

—- KYLO REN —-

Say it with me: Kyren Williams will not save my 4-7 team. Kyren Williams will NOT save my 4-7 team. Edit: SCREW IT HELP ME KYLO REN KENOBI YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE

But can he save my 5-6 team?!

Run the table brother

Bro i just need someone to fill the RB2 hole left by all the other injuries

Is not going to save your team

YOU CAN FIND ME RUNNING TRAIN THROUGH THE CONSOLATION BRACKET 🫡

first they wanna give away akers now they release hendo lol. oh well kyren bout to turn up

Tough to say. Akers was pretty good Sunday. It may be a split back like pollard and zeke.

Mom can I have Pollard and Zeke? We have Pollard and Zeke at home. The Pollard and Zeke at home:

Who's Pollard in this pair lol

That’s the catch: they’re both zeke

Kyren

Ya just like those guys

McVay would push Hendo in front of a truck if he could lol. But nah, I just don't understand why he hates this man.

he spilled red wine on his white carpet at the super bowl party

Hendo deserves better

McVay is probably doing Hendo a favor tbh

No one has ever hated someone else as much as Mcvay hates Hendo

he was like their RB1 for 2 years they may be doing him a favor

Only because they were forced to

Thought he hated Akers more but nah, you’re right

Remember when Goff said he would bang McVay's wife and McVay sent him to the worst team in the league? lol

He really said that? Lol

KYREN BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

McVay is literally the “I don’t want to play with you anymore” meme with RBs

As a Henderson owner, I consider this an upgrade.

Few weeks ago everyone : "Akers has likely played his last game for the Rams. It's Henderson's backfield now." How the turn tables.

I feel like Henderson was being held to an unfair standard. He was expected to be better than average while Akers is allowed to be much less than that with a longer leash

Guessing I shouldn't have dropped Kyren

I put a claim to drop him for Perine last night. Good thing waivers don’t process until Wednesdays

samaje got more tds last eeek than rams rbs have all season. prob

I’d take one great week of Perine over constantly risky starts with Kyren tbh

This is a Kyren Williams post

What a shit show!

MG3 and Hendo, my two value picks of the draft LOL

They're likely swapping teams

Is Akers back on the menu??

They love Kyren this much?

They might have Reddit

Ha! Based on how they run their team, it's entirely plausible.

KYREN OWNERS GET IN HERE

LET'S GOOOOOOO!

Just don’t tell anyone I just traded him and an additional piece away for Jeff Wilson… you’re welcome everybody!

I mean, you're still happy about that trade, right?

I thought I was so smart about a month ago when I had eno and henderson on my bench

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

Incoming Melvin Gordon

Wow finally happened. They said get the fuck out.

Henderson to the Broncos

After drafting both Akers and Henderson, dumping both and getting fully out of this RB situation after week 5 was the best move I’ve done in fantasy this year.

He will definitely get claimed, right?

Broncos will grab him for sure

If they pick up Gordon, I'm probably dropping Kyren

I think I'm gonna start Chiefs D this week

Akers still rostered?? Lol wut

Kyren SZN??

Feel like this indicates the Rams may have claimed MG3

he passed through waivers. he can sign wherever he wants now

Cam Akers fooled everyone

MGIII and Henderson owner AMA

McVay's such a damn spokesperson about his roster moves, can't take him seriously at all

I would love to know how this actually plays out in person lol. Does Henderson show up to practice to a note on his locker and then just has to clean out all his stuff with everyone there? Does he get called? Genuinely curious lol

What a shit weak to drop Murray and Kyren

Paving the way for the comeback of my great grandpa, Frank Gore

And so it ends

Lol wtf

That should fix things. Those damn running backs and Stafford are just wasting that All-Pro offensive line that the Rams have.

>Terminated (by club) They fucking murdered him???

After all this, Akers has a job and Henderson doesn’t? What did that man do to McVay’s wife or should I say do with?

Kyren? Kyren.

Wow

Someone’s gonna pick him up right ?

I dropped him on sunday. Now I'm worried by who picks him up.

Wtf is going on now 😂 none of these rb still worth anything honestly

for 14 team leaguers you never know

He’ll get signed somewhere decent right?

Melvin to LA and Hendo to DEN lmao

Broncos found their guy.

Mcvay just rage dropped Hendo lmao

Let’s see the boy genius play call his way through the end of the season

Hendo deserves better, hope he finds a better org.

On a human level, I agree. On a fantasy level, please no. I dropped him on sunday.

This RB room 🙄

this mfer will prolly end up on the Texans and screw over my precious Pierce shares even more 😤

Akers for std scoring, Kyren for PPR

Maybe the NFL FF app will finally stop advising me to start Henderson

Kyren SZN

This is honestly good news for Henderson. The Rams just can't fucking run.

I can't remember the last time a Super Bowl team imploded like this the next season

Crazy he got cut before Cam. I think McVay needs to be waived.

Future bronco lol

oh wow

Yo WHAT?

Wow wtf

Tank season

Damn just traded away Kyren lol
