Derrick Henry Fantasy

The Tennessee Titans could look to draft a successor to running back Derrick Henry in this year's draft. Henry had the first major injury of his career last season and missed nine games with a Jones fracture in his right foot. Henry's first sign of vulnerability could lead Tennessee to start thinking about his eventual replacement. The Titans averaged 147.6 rushing yards per game in eight games with Henry last year and averaged 135.8 rushing yards per game in nine games without him, so the team may not need to invest a high pick on a running back in the draft. But D'Onta Foreman signed with the Panthers as a free agent. If the Titans draft a RB this year, they could choose to err on the side of caution and spell Henry more often than in previous seasons to extend his longevity.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) rushed for 62 yards on 20 attempts and a touchdown in the 19-16 Divisional-Round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He returned to action for the first time since Week 8 and was outpaced by teammate D'Onta Foreman 66-to-62. The 28-year-old led the team in attempts but only averaged 3.1 yards per carry. He made it through the game with no setbacks and will enter the 2022 season fully healthy. Henry rushed for 937 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 18 passes for 154 yards over eight games in 2021. "King Henry" is projected to be a top-five pick in 2022 fantasy drafts.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) will not be on a snap count and won't have any limitations in the Divisional Round game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, according to sources. The Titans coaches will keep a close eye on him to watch his conditioning and comfort, however. Henry practiced in pads this week to get ready to take hits since he hasn't played since Week 8, and he will play with a metal plate and five screws in his surgically repaired foot, as well as a metal plate in his shoe. The 28-year-old was the NFL's leading rusher at the time of his injury, and he nearly eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in eight games. If he's 100% and not limited in any way, King Henry could very well be worth his lofty DFS price in his first game back.
