Erin Henderson - Fantasy Points Outlook

The Jets have ruled rookie LB Darron Lee out for Sunday's game against the Ravens with the ankle injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Cardinals. HC Todd Bowles said that it's too early to tell whether Lee will miss time beyond this week, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The defense does expect to get LB David Harris back after a hamstring injury cost him Week 6. Erin Henderson and Bruce Carter also figure to remain in the LB rotation.

Jets LB David Harris is doubtful for Monday night's game at Arizona with a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice all week. HC Todd Bowles told NJ.com that the team would rotate Darron Lee, Erin Henderson and Bruce Carter at the ILB spots in Harris' absence. Lee's the top option, though his snap counts have varied widely. He should be a strong bet to play more than 75% of the snaps against the Cardinals with Harris out.

Darryl Slater of NJ.com says you shouldn't be surprised if Erin Henderson spends all of 2016 starting ahead of 1st-round rookie Darron Lee at ILB, next to incumbent David Harris. Slater says he envisions Lee "being a situational sub packages player who can use his lateral speed and athleticism to help the Jets in pass coverage." We'd certainly bet on Lee getting the opportunity to take the job from Henderson, who played sparingly for the Jets last year after spending 2014 out of football. But the 30-year-old spent most of the 3 seasons before that starting at multiple LB spots in Minnesota. He has been a solid -- though inconsistent -- pro. The situation is at least worth keeping in mind as you consider Lee's 2016 fantasy football prospects. The team clearly views him as a long-term starter, but don't overrate the rookie in 2016 IDP drafts.

Three months after the Vikings released him, LB Erin Henderson said he's sober, resolving his off-field issues and hoping for another chance in Minnesota.  "I completely understood where the organization was coming from and what they needed to do for themselves moving forward," Henderson told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press on Wednesday.  He also said that GM Rick Spielman told him "if I can continue to take care of myself from what I need to take care of, then there's always a chance that I can get back up there. So the door was left open."  Henderson spent 30 days in a rehab program this offseason after 2 DUI arrests within a month and a half in 2013 and recently reached plea deals in both cases.  The Vikings remain in need of LB help.  Dallas also popped up with a need this week after MLB Sean Lee's ACL tear.  Look for Henderson to sign somewhere this summer.  The right landing spot could position him as a sleeper in the 2014 IDP rankings.
