The Los Angeles Rams practically started the “running backs don’t matter” debate, now can they finish it?
The Rams running backs room has changed significantly since the start of the season. In Week 1’s win over the Seattle Seahawks, Cam Akers got the most carries and Kyren Williams got the most snaps. The Rams then traded Akers and L.A. is expected to be without Williams this week as he recovers from an injury after a career performance against the Cardinals.
In response, the Rams elevated Royce Freeman from the practice squad and signed two running backs, Myles Gaskin (off of the Vikings practice squad) and Darrell Henderson.
