TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Green Bay Packers
After six straight games rushing for over 100 yards, the Broncos' elite defense held Derrick Henry to 67 total yards without a score on 19 carries and two catches. Henry remains a premier running back in both real and fantasy football, but he is more dependent on game script than other elite backs. Henry only played 58% of the snaps against the Broncos, which is a lower share than you would expect from a workhorse of Henry's caliber. Henry does get an easier matchup this week against a Packers defense that is middle-of-the-pack against opposing running games. With no workload concerns and a decent matchup on deck, Henry is once again a solid RB1 for fantasy managers in Week 11.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Denver Broncos
Derrick Henry enters Week 10 fresh off his latest rampage, where he racked up 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground against the Chiefs. That yardage total is actually Henry's lowest since Week 2 when he was held to 25 yards against the Bills. Henry is getting massive weekly workloads and knows what to do with them as evidenced by him finishing as a fantasy RB1 in five of his last six games. Henry will have to deal with a solid Broncos run defense this week, but the game sets up well for him in the sense that it should be a low-scoring, run-heavy affair which locks Henry into a massive volume projection. Henry is once again a surefire RB1 for fantasy managers this week.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs
It's safe to say the floodgates have burst open for Derrick Henry in 2022. Henry racked up an astounding workload in Week 8 when he carried the ball 32 times for 219 yards and a pair of scores. Since Week 3, Henry is averaging an absurd 157.6 scrimmage yards per game and has logged six rushing touchdowns in that stretch. With Ryan Tannehill struggling with an ankle issue last week, the Titans went all-in on feeding Henry as a workhorse and the clear centerpiece of their entire offense as rookie QB Malik Willis only attempted 10 passes for 55 scoreless yards. If Tannehill is out again this week, Henry will again have a realistic shot at 30 touches. The Kansas City run defense is below average, so as long as game script doesn't get out of hand Henry will again be an elite RB1 for fantasy in Week 9.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Houston Texans
After threes straight finishes as a top-ten fantasy RB, Derrick Henry's healthy workload continued in Week 7 where he saw 30 carries for 128 scoreless yards to go along with three catches for another 10 yards. Unfortunately, Henry did not find the end zone this past week, but on such extreme usage that will be a rare occurrence. Henry is primed for a huge Week 8 coming off a hot stretch of games and now getting to face a Houston defense ranked dead last in our schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric with regard to RBs. Henry is a virtual lock for 20+ carries this week and a great bet to score a touchdown, and his moderate pass game usage (16 targets the last four weeks) has bolstered his floor. Lock Henry into lineups against the Texans as a strong RB1 with a chance to smash the slate in a prime matchup.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Indianapolis Colts
After a slow start to the season, Derrick Henry has logged three straight RB1 performances. He has logged at least one touchdown in his last three games and has yet to record fewer than 20 carries or 130 rushing yards in that span. Henry only saw two targets in Week 5, but he caught both of them as he continues to get marginally more involved in the passing game, which is all that's really necessary in fantasy when you get the kind of rushing usage Henry does. In Week 7, Henry will come off a bye week to take on a Colts defense that has been about average against opposing backs in fantasy this season. Shake off the slow start to the season and start Henry as a clear RB1 this week against Indy.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Washington Commanders
In Derrick Henry's Week 4 profile, we wrote that Henry was at risk of losing his RB1 status if his pass game involvement did not pick up. Since that time, Henry has seen 11 targets in two games and logged 91 receiving yards out of the backfield. It would appear that the Titans have realized getting the ball into their best weapon's hands as much as possible is sound offensive philosophy. Henry also has 20 carries in three of four games so far this season, showing that he still possesses a huge ceiling on a weekly basis and boasts one of fantasy football's most secure workloads. Henry will get the Washington Commanders in Week 5, a defense who is not easy on opposing backs. With that said, there's no way you are sitting Henry who looks to be back safely on the RB1 line with the increasing target share.

TEN RB Derrick Henry - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Indianapolis Colts
Derrick Henry had his best game of the season so far in Week 3 with 20 carries for 85 rushing yards and a touchdown, but the most important development for Henry's fantasy managers was his injection into the passing game. After recording one target through the Titans' first two games combined, Henry had six targets on Sunday and caught five balls for 58 yards. An active role catching passes out of the backfield would do wonders for Henry's fantasy floor while he maintains an elite weekly ceiling thanks to his massive rushing workload. While Week 3 was encouraging on this front, we have seen Henry fade in and out of the passing game in the past so we will need to see continued target volume to include more receptions in his fantasy projections moving forward. A pass game role would certainly be helpful in Week 4 when Henry will face off with a Colts defense that has been tough on running backs so far (4th in fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs). Keep Henry in lineups as a RB1 and hope Ryan Tannehill continues to look for him out the backfield.
