Derrick Henry Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Titans insider Paul Kuharsky hears that QB Ryan Tannehill is "very likely" done for the season with an ankle injury that may require surgery. Tannehill has hurt this right ankle twice this season -- but was surprisingly allowed to re-enter last week's loss to the Chargers. His absence leaves QB Malik Willis at the controls the rest of the way. The rookie made 2 starts the first time Tannehill went down, TOTALING 135 passing yards on 26 attempts. Tennessee will go as run-heavy as possible with Willis, tanking the fantasy value of pass catchers like TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks.

Titans RB Derrick Henry was listed as a DNP on the injury report on Wednesday with an undisclosed "non-injury related" designation. Henry had been listed as limited on Tuesday, so this is a bit odd. It is hard to give fantasy advice based on this little information. We'll keep you posted as we learn more about this news.

Titans RB Derrick Henry delivered 104 yards and a TD on 21 carries in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. It marked his 2nd straight game over 100 yards and just his 2nd time reaching 20 carries among the past 7 contests. Henry also led Tennessee with 59 receiving yards Sunday, catching all 4 of his targets. It was his 3rd game with 3 receptions or more among the past 4. Henry gets the Texans in Week 16, a matchup he has exploited for more than 210 rushing yards in 4 consecutive meetings. After that comes a Dallas defense that allowed Travis Etienne to top 100 yards in Week 15.

Titans RB Derrick Henry rebounded from 4 straight down weeks for 121 yards and a TD on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Henry had averaged just 2.8 yards per rush across the previous 4 games, all against middling-to-poor run defenses. This performance will make it much easier to play Henry with confidence in high-upside matchups against the Chargers and Texans the next 2 weeks. Houston, in particular, has allowed Henry to rush for more than 210 yards in 4 consecutive meetings -- including Week 8 of this season.

Titans RB Derrick Henry carried just 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. It marked his 4th straight game with 3.1 yards or less per carry. Henry added only 8 yards on 2 receptions. Week 14 holds his 1st matchup of the year with Jacksonville, which allowed Henry 130 and 215 yards in their past 2 meetings. The Jaguars also allowed Detroit's top 2 RBs to combine for 97 yards and 2 TDs Sunday. Even if Henry can't rebound there, he'll still face high-upside matchups with the Chargers and Texans the following 2 weeks. So most fantasy football teams will have to just roll with him.

Titans RB Derrick Henry mustered only 38 yards on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, his 3rd straight outing with 3.1 yards per carry or less. Henry nearly saved his fantasy line with a 69-yard catch and run early in the 2nd quarter, but he got stripped short of the goal line. WR Treylon Burks recovered that ball for the TD. Henry's 3 receptions for the game totaled 79 yards, getting him to a nice 117 total yards. We'll see whether Henry's rushing can rebound in Week 13 against a Philly defense that has been generous on the ground.

Titans RB Derrick Henry managed just 53 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He added 2 catches for 14 yards among 3 targets. It marked his fewest yards per carry since Week 2 and just the 3rd game all year in which Henry logged fewer than 20 attempts. Next comes a Thursday night visit to Green Bay.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Tannehill practiced all week, including 1 full workout on Thursday. There's still a chance that his mobility is compromised, though, and the matchup is brutal vs. Denver's 2nd-ranked QB defense. Tannehill isn't even a recommended QB2 starter, but we'd still consider him good news for Tennessee's offense.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in Wednesday's practice, a full participant on Thursday and limited again on Friday. We're guessing that was the plan coming into the week, rather than a setback, and that Tannehill will start Sunday's game. We'll look for further updates on the situation and will get Tennessee's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. It looks like he's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. It's good news for Tennessee's offense, but we'd still avoid this passing game against a tough Denver pass defense.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. QB Malik Willis gets another start after completing just 6 of 10 passes for 55 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT in last week’s Derrick Henry-led win over the Texans. Willis figures to be forced to throw more tonight – and we’re not expecting it to go well.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says there's "not a lot of optimism" that Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will be able to play vs. the Chiefs tonight. That'd mean a 2nd straight start for rookie QB Malik Willis, who reportedly took most of the reps in practice this week. Willis threw just 10 passes in a comfortable win over the Texans last week. Tennessee will certainly hope to go run-heavy again tonight -- but there's a good chance that Willis is forced to throw it a bunch more with the Chiefs 12.5-point favorites. That doesn't figure to go well for Willis based on what we saw last week.

Titans RB Derrick Henry is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was on there and limited on Wednesday with a foot and then got Thursday off. But Henry put in a full practice on Friday and will be ready for his usual workhorse role vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday night’s tilt with the Chiefs, HC Mike Vrabel said. Tannehill got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. He’d obviously be operating at far less than 100% if he plays and shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups. But even a hobbled Tannehill would be better than rookie Malik Willis for Tennessee’s chances in Kansas City.

Titans RB Derrick Henry did not practice on Thursday but is now listed on the injury report with "rest," rather than the previous "foot." Henry should be ready for his usual workhorse role vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night, but check back tomorrow for another update.

Titans RB Derrick Henry (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed to make it out of last weekend's win over the Texans just fine, so this is likely more of a rest day after handling 32 carries in that one. We'll get another update on Henry tomorrow.

If Derrick Henry's meetings with the Texans were a movie series, they'd all be rated R for violence. The monster back went over 200 rushing yards for the 4th straight time against Houston. He carried 32 times for 219 and 2 TDs in this one, supplying nearly all of the offense with QB Malik Willis filling in for Ryan Tannehill (ankle). Willis attempted only 10 passes, completing 6 for 55 yards. WR Robert Woods was the only Titan to catch more than 1 pass.

Titans RB Derrick Henry racked up 128 yards on 30 carries (4.3 per rush) in Sunday's win over the Colts. He added 3 receptions (on 3 targets) for 10 yards, in a game where no Tita caught more than 3 passes. Tennessee also scored no offensive TDs, relying on 4 FGs and an INT-return TD for all of its scoring. RB Dontrell Hilliard chimed in for just 1 carry and 2 catchless targets. It was Henry's 4th straight game of 20+ carries and 3rd straight outing over 100 yards.

Titans RB Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards and a pair of TDs on 28 carries in Sunday's win over the Commanders. It was his 2nd straight game with 100+ rushing yards and 4th consecutive game with a TD. Henry also added 30 yards on 2 receptions. Dontrelle Hilliard ranked 2nd on the team with 5 targets for the game, catching 4 for 23 yards and a TD. He has edged Henry in pass routes each of the past 2 weeks. He has just 5 carries through 4 games, though, and isn't really a standalone fantasy option (despite the 3 TDs in 4 games.
