Derrick Henry
RB - TEN
2022 Outlook
According to a quote from Mike Vrabel, Derrick Henry is unlikely to get any action during the Titans' preseason games.
Fantasy Impact
After missing the final nine games of the 2021 regular season with a broken bone in his foot, Henry returned to play in the Titans' divisional round loss to the Bengals. The Titans being cautious with their superstar running back is not surprising with the intense usage he has seen over the last few seasons. Fantasy managers should not overthink drafting Henry with their first-round pick in drafts this summer, as he has an elite mix of usage and efficiency in a run-heavy offense.
Derrick Henry rushed the ball 20 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round loss to the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Henry was active and on the field for the first time since Week 8. The 28-year-old running back did not make his usual impact with his longest run being nine yards and averaged 3.1 yards per carry. Henry should be healthy going into 2022 and once again will be the focal point of the offense for the Titans.
Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) has been activated from injured reserve and will return for the Titans, as they face the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC divisional round on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Having Henry return will be a huge boost for a Titans offense that will look to establish the run early in an attempt to keep Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and his plethora of weapons, including rookie of the year candidate wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, off the field with a trip to the AFC championship game at stake.
Derrick Henry has been cleared for contact in practice this week.
Fantasy Impact
After getting some practice in ahead of the Titans regular season finale in which Henry did not play to go along with the practice he will go through this week, Henry appears to be on track to being able to return for Saturday's Divisional Round game against the Bengals. It will likely only be a matter of whether or not he will be limited in any capacity in his first game back.
The Titans officially did not activate RB Derrick Henry today, leaving him ineligible to play vs. the Texans on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
This should be no surprise as the Titans want Henry fully healthy for the playoff run. D'Onta Foreman should continue to lead the backfield this week against Houston.
