TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Indianapolis Colts
With game script predictably swinging back in his favor in Week 12, Derrick Henry trampled the lowly Panthers for 76 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Henry has had some volatile production this year, but it is highly correlated to game script and the Titans' team performance. The Titans are small underdogs against the Colts this week, but Indy is atrocious in limiting production by opposing backs as they rank as the third-best matchup in the NFL according to our schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. With the game projected to be close and the matchup indicating the Titans should be able to run the ball with success, Henry finds himself back in the RB1 ranks for Week 13.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Carolina Panthers
Derrick Henry's volatile season continued in Week 11 when he busted to the tune of 44 scoreless yards on only 10 carries and two targets. Henry's level of involvement in the Tennessee offense is heavily reliant on game script, as Tyjae Spears typically absorbs a good portion of the receiving work. Henry does get a prime matchup this week when the Titans host the lowly Carolina Panthers and their poor run defense. Henry projects for solid efficiency this week, and game script shouldn't be an issue with as bad as the Panthers are playing right now. Henry should be locked into lineups as a high-upside RB2 this week.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Derrick Henry fell victim to a negative game script in Week 10 when he only managed 20 total yards on 12 touches. Rookie QB Will Levis has not been able to replicate his impressive debut effort over the past two weeks, which has taken a toll on the Titans' offense as a whole. Henry's lack of consistent passing game involvement puts him at risk of slow days when the Titans fall behind early, and that scenario will be a real risk this week when the Titans have to travel to Jacksonville to take on a Jaguars team that should be looking to bounce back after getting pummeled by the 49ers. The Jags boast an above-average run defense, and the combination of circumstances facing him this week knocks Henry into the RB2 ranks for fantasy.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Derrick Henry had a nice game against the Steelers last week, carrying the ball 17 times and catching three passes for a total of 102 yards and a touchdown. Henry is averaging 19.4 touches per game this season, although he’s only found the end zone four times on a struggling Titans team. He has been in double-digit fantasy points in both of Will Levis’ starts, however, so he should be solid for the rest of the season.

This week, Henry faces a tough Buccaneers defense that ranks fourth in aFPA to opposing running backs. Definitely consider Henry a lower-end RB1 option in a difficult matchup, but with his consistent workload and talent, you can’t ignore him completely. Start him every week, but temper expectations in this one.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Derrick Henry had a great game on Sunday when he saw 26 touches and racked up 122 total yards, but perhaps most encouraging for his fantasy prospects moving forward was Will Levis' strong NFL debut. Henry appeared to be at risk of a total structural collapse for the Tennessee offense following Ryan Tannehill's injury, but Levis looked far better in his one-game sample than Tannehill has all season. If Levis is going to be a long-term solution at QB, Henry will be one of the primary beneficiaries as he is still seeing the vast majority of the backfield touches for Tennessee. Levis, Henry, and company travel to Pittsburgh for a tough road game in Week 9, but the Steelers have been below-average in suppressing opposing RB production in 2023. It's best to think of Henry as a high-end RB2 for now, but if the Titans offense has another strong showing on Thursday we might have to adjust his fantasy standing rest of season.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Atlanta Falcons
Derrick Henry logged a RB5 finish in Week 7 by racking up 113 total yards and a touchdown on 14 touches. The efficiency is a great sign, but Henry could have tough treading ahead with Ryan Tannehill going down with an injury, setting up rookie second-round pick Will Levis to start on Sunday. Levis is a wild card having not played in a regular season game, but it's fair to project the Titans' offense to take a step back with a rookie under center. The Titans already weren't lighting up the scoreboard, and now the prospect of negative game scripts only increases. Add onto that the fact that the Falcons have been a difficult matchup for opposing running games this year, and Henry can only be considered a RB2 for Week 8.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Baltimore Ravens (London)
Derrick Henry continues to get the majority of the backfield opportunities in Tennessee, but it's time to be concerned about the increasing involvement of Tyjae Spears. Spears played 49% of the Titans' offensive snaps in Week 5, but has out-snapped Henry twice this year already and saw 12 of the 28 backfield opportunities (carries plus targets) in last week's game. Henry will not have nearly the floor he usually does if he is effectively splitting touches with Spears, and he really only projects for a ceiling outcome in games with a clear positive game script. That will not be the case this week with the Titans traveling to London to take on a formidable Ravens defense. Henry is still a surefire fantasy starter, but he is more of a RB2 in his current environment for Week 6.
