May be part of timeshare Rams head coach Sean McVay hinted that Michel may be deployed as part of a timeshare out of the backfield with Darrell Henderson during Tuesday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey...
Impact McVay has largely eschewed a timeshare arrangement this season, as Henderson has played no fewer than 59 percent of the offensive snaps in any of his 10 appearances, while Michel has logged at least 73 percent of the snaps in each of the three games that Henderson has missed. However, after Michel averaged a solid 4.5 yards per carry over the past two games while Henderson was out Week 13 with a thigh injury and Week 14 due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, McVay could be more inclined to find room for both backs in the Week 16 game plan. Henderson should garner the start by virtue of having resided atop the depth chart before he missed time, but it wouldn't be surprising if McVay favored the hotter hand between the two backs as the game rolls along. Even if he loses out on some carries, Henderson should at least serve as the Rams' preferred pass-catching option, given the lack of aptitude Michel has shown in that area throughout his career.

Rams-Seahawks moved to Tuesday Michel and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
Impact Due to ongoing COVID-19-related concerns within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth issues on the roster. Michel has picked up 20-plus touches in both of the Rams' past two games, as top back Darrell Henderson was available only in an emergency Week 13 with a thigh injury before sitting out Week 14 after testing positive for the virus. Henderson remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list as of Friday, but the two-day delay could provide enough time for him to clear the necessary protocols ahead of Tuesday's kickoff. Michel's fantasy outlook for Week 15 will ultimately be determined by Henderson's availability (or lack thereof).

Rams seek to continue winning ways against Seahawks

Leads team on ground Michel rushed 20 times for 79 yards in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Michel started his second straight game in place of banged-up teammate Darrell Henderson (thigh), who was placed on the COVID list over the weekend. As was the case with his promotion in Week 13, when he rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown, Sony again relished working with Los Angeles' first-team offense. He rushed nine times for 51 yards in the first half, and although his pace slowed during the second, tempering his overall production, his physicality helped the Rams clinch a big victory. Even if Henderson returns in Week 15 versus the Seahawks, Michel's recent play would figure to keep him in the mix for carries, and he'd again be expected to carry a large workload if Henderson is unavailable.

Set to start Monday Michel is expected to serve as the Rams' lead back Monday against the Cardinals after Darrell Henderson (thigh) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Impact Michel appears on track to get his second consecutive start after Henderson suited up but didn't play in last week's 37-7 win over the Jaguars due to a thigh injury. While filling in as the Rams' primary back, Michel carried 24 times for 121 times and a touchdown while reeling in three of his four targets for eight yards. A high-volume role should be in the offing for Michel again Monday, though he'll draw a tougher matchup against Arizona compared to his Week 13 opponent.
