Derrick Henry Fantasy

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry figures to be the focal point of the offense again in the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs. He saw over 30 carries in each of the first two rounds of the playoffs and now faces a Chiefs Defense that he ran for 188 yards against in Week 10. While the Chiefs run defense has been better of late, they also played some weak rushing offenses, so Henry figures to find success if he sees enough carries. He simply needs to Titans Defense to keep the Chiefs in check so the game remains close. It's a risky proposition, but there is no other running back with his upside remaining in the playoffs.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry faces a stiff test on Saturday against a Ravens Defense that ranks first in the NFL in fantasy points against since Week 10. However, much of the Ravens' success comes from playing with a lead and limiting running back production through the air. The Ravens give up the fewest receiving yards in the league to running backs and have not allowed a running back to catch a touchdown since Week 3. However, they have also allowed 4.74 yards per carry since Week 10, which puts them 25th in the league, and 616 rushing yards, which is 17th in the league. It seems apparent that the Titans will rely on Henry to slow the game down and keep it close, so as long as the Titans Defense can prevent the Ravens from blowing the game wide open, Henry should have chances for success against a run defense that has some holes.
