Steps in effectively for Henderson Michel carried 10 times for 46 yards in the Rams' 27-24 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact A non-factor in his first game in a Rams uniform against Chicago last Sunday night, Michel was called upon to helm the backfield versus the Colts when Darrell Henderson went down with a rib injury in the second half. Michel was explosive and efficient with his opportunities, helping Los Angeles kill some clock late. He could be set for a continuation of his fourth-quarter workload in a Week 3 home showdown against the Buccaneers if Henderson is forced to sit out the contest.

Barely plays against Chicago Michel rushed once for two yards and only played three offensive snaps during Sunday's 34-14 win over the Bears.
Impact Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay has tended to rely on a single running back during his tenure with the organization, and it was Darrell Henderson leading the way Sunday. Michel still has potential to carve out a role in the rushing attack, and he's probably solidified himself as the No. 2 running back on the depth chart behind Henderson. It's also worth noting that Michel has only been with the Rams since Aug. 25, so he's likely still acclimating to the offensive scheme and playbook. While it's probably tough to view the four-year veteran as a reliable Week 2 option in the majority of fantasy settings, it shouldn't surprise if Michel makes a splash at some point this season.

To be ready for opener Coach Sean McVay expects Michel to be ready to go for Sunday's season opener against the Bears, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact In the wake of Cam Akers' Achilles tear and Raymond Calais suffering a mid-foot fracture, the Rams acquired Michel from the Patriots back on Aug. 25. Since then, undrafted rookie Xavier Jones also has suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, leaving Darrell Henderson, Michel and Jake Funk as the team's options at running back for Week 1. Henderson enters the season having dealt with a mild thumb sprain, so Michel has been afforded plenty of reps since he landed in L.A. Ultimately, though, Michel's role won't be fully formed until the Rams implement their game plan, starting Wednesday, per McVay.
