  Derrick Henry Not On The Final Injury Report

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) was listed on the injury report this week, despite practicing in full on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. However, he's now off the final injury report, so he'll be a full go against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. Henry is an easy must-start in fantasy leagues that extend to Week 18, but he's also a solid player to build a DFS lineup around. The Titans are in a must-win situation with a playoff berth on the line, so there's no cap on his workload. Henry has averaged 155.3 rushing yards in his last three games against the Jaguars, finding the end zone six times over that span.

  Derrick Henry Expected To Play In Week 18

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) is expected to return to action in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing last Thursday's game with a hip injury. Henry was a full participant in Wednesday's practice for the second straight day. The Titans had nothing to play for in Week 17, so they wisely rested Henry. In a winner-take-all contest this weekend, the 29-year-old running back will be a must-start, high-end RB1 for fantasy managers. With quarterback Joshua Dobbs making his second straight start, the Titans will surely lean heavily on King Henry's shoulders as they attempt to win the AFC South division. In the first meeting with Jacksonville in Week 14, Henry had 17 carries for 121 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

  Derrick Henry Practices In Full On Tuesday

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) missed their Week 17 game due to injury, but the outcome had no playoff implications. He returned to practice on Tuesday with full participation, indicating he is on track to play on Saturday against the Jaguars. The winner will clinch the AFC South division crown, earning the opportunity to host a playoff game. The 29-year-old has over 100 rushing yards and a score in three straight games, one of which was when these two teams faced each other in Week 14. The offense looked better with Joshua Dobbs at the helm, locking Henry in as a must-start.

  Derrick Henry Officially Out For Week 17

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) has officially been ruled out for the Week 17 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering the Titans have been talking about resting Henry all week. They will sit their superstar back in a fairly meaningless game in order to keep him healthy for Week 18. The expectation is that Hassan Haskins will be the lead back with undrafted rookie Julius Chestnut to serve as the primary backup. Neither of these backs should be considered trustworthy for this Week 17 matchup. Haskins should see a bulk of the carries, but remains a deep league flex option.

  Derrick Henry Will Play In Week 18

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip), who is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys, will return to play in the regular season finale in Week 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a source. The Titans will get into the playoffs if they win in Week 18 -- Thursday's game against Dallas will have no bearing on whether or not they make the postseason. As a result, the Titans are resting King Henry and will also bench rookie quarterback Malik Willis in favor of practice-squad QB Joshua Dobbs. Fantasy managers are likely pretty unhappy that they won't have Henry during championship week in most leagues, but you should be good if your championship matchup isn't until next week. Rookies Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut will see more playing time on Thursday night, with Haskins expected to have the bigger role.

  Derrick Henry Not Expected To Play Thursday Night

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) is not expected to play Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The 28-year-old is listed as doubtful and will likely miss Thursday's contest due to a hip issue. Week 17 carries zero significance in the Titans' playoff chances; Tennessee will probably opt to sit out Henry to focus on the divisional showdown with the Jaguars in Week 18. Hassan Haskins is expected to see an uptick in usage while Henry is sidelined. Haskins is in line for a significant role and is considered a flex play against a Cowboys defense that ranks fifth in rush DVOA.

  Derrick Henry Doubtful To Face Cowboys

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) is officially listed as doubtful to play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. Since the Thursday Night game against Dallas carries zero significance in the Titans' playoff chances, there's a real chance he doesn't play. If he plays, he's obviously a must-start, even with the risk of a reduced workload. If he's out, Hassan Haskins would presumably be the featured back for Tennessee, with undrafted free agent rookie Julius Chestnut mixing in. In his rookie season, Haskins has carried 11 times for 50 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 31 yards. His ceiling will be low in a lifeless Titans' offense led by Malik Willis, but there are plenty of fantasy managers in need of any starting running back. It's worth noting Tennessee will be without four of its five starters on the offensive line from opening day.

  Derrick Henry Limited At Tuesday's Practice

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hip) was listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice. Henry suffered a minor hip injury in the Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans and said he should be able to play on Thursday night in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. However, the Titans are playing it a bit more close to the vest for competitive reasons. The fact that the 28-year-old was on the practice field is a good sign for his availability this week, but fantasy managers must monitor his status up until Thursday night's kickoff. If he's unable to play, rookies Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut would be splitting backfield duties against a strong Cowboys defensive front. King Henry is a must-start when active, as he ranks as the RB3 in half-point PPR scoring through 16 weeks.

  Derrick Henry Misses Practice With Hip Injury

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry did not practice on Monday with a hip injury. The Titans play in Week 17's Thursday night game, so their practice report on Monday was an estimation. It is possible that the Titans are getting some rest for their star running back after he handled 25 touches against the Houston Texans in Week 16. As it stands, Henry's practice status for the remainder of the week is worth monitoring for fantasy gamers rostering him heading into the fantasy championship round. Hassan Haskins is listed as the No. 2 running back on the team's depth chart with Julius Chestnut the No. 3. Haskins is worth a speculative waiver add in fantasy leagues this week in case Henry doesn't play.

  Derrick Henry On The Week 9 Injury Report

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) is listed on the Week 9 injury report and was given a limited tag in practice on Wednesday. Henry went off in the Week 8 win over the Houston Texans, carrying the ball 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns, so we have a feeling he'll be just fine to play this Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Titans are likely just giving him a little rest early in the week. It's worth keeping an eye on with the 28-year-old, though, as he missed most of last year with a foot injury. As long as Henry is active against KC, he's a must-start, elite RB1 in fantasy. He currently sits as the RB5 in half-point PPR leagues through eight weeks.

  Titans Rework Derrick Henry's Contract

  The Tennessee Titans reworked All-Pro running back Derrick Henry's contract on Thursday to give him a $2 million raise this year, according to sources. Henry will now make $14 million in 2022, the most of any running back in the NFL. Next year will be the final year of his contract. The 28-year-old's fantasy stock might have dropped slightly entering this season after he played in only eight games in 2021 due to a foot injury. But in those eight games, Henry ran for 937 yards and 10 touchdowns on 219 carries, also adding 18 receptions for 154 yards. The two-time Pro Bowler led the NFL in rushing in each of the previous two seasons and should still be a top-five fantasy back if he can stay healthy in 2022.

  Derrick Henry Readies To Suit Up For Week 1

  Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot, rest) has been held out of preseason contests this year in an attempt to ease the back into action. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the Titans' star rusher is "on schedule" for the team's season-opening contest against the Giants on Sept. 11. Prior to a foot injury curtailing his All-Pro production last year, Henry led the NFL in rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns in both 2019 and '20. There is little reason to believe Tennessee won't have their bell cow at its full disposal to begin the year, particularly after he returned to action last postseason. Dontrell Hilliard is set to serve as the primary backup to Henry, although the 28-year-old will enter the season as a slam-dunk first-round choice in all redraft fantasy league formats.
