As expected, Titans RB Derrick Henry (hip) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys. He'd be playing if this game meant anything to Tennessee and will be back out there for the finale against Jacksonville. Rookie Hassan Haskins is expected to operate as Tennessee's lead back tonight but should be considered just a low-upside RB3 in fantasy lineups. The Titans are implied for 13.25 points.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has confirmed what we all suspected: that the team "fully" expects RB Derrick Henry to be ready for full use against the Jaguars in Week 18. Henry is doubtful for tonight's game against the Cowboys, listed with a hip issue. But he finished the week with 2 limited practices. He's clearly just being held out of a game that has no bearing on the Titans' playoff hopes. Pelissero added that rookie RB Hassan Haskins is in for a big role and didn't mention RB Julius Chestnut in his report. So Haskins sounds like the guy if you need a Titans runner. We wouldn't go out of our way to target this situation, however, in what Vegas projects to be the lowest-scoring offense of Week 17.
The Titans list RB Derrick Henry as doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Cowboys. He has been listed with a hip issue all week but put in limited practices Tuesday and Wednesday after sitting out Monday. This is clearly a move by the Titans to save up some key players for a Week 18 meeting with the Jaguars that will determine whether they make the playoffs. With Henry out and Dontrell Hilliard already on IR, the Titans will turn to Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut. With 11 and 5 carries for the season, respectively -- 7 and 2 targets -- neither is a strong bet to grab the clear backfield lead. Try to avoid this offense altogether in your Week 17 fantasy football lineups.
Tennessee's Week 18 game against the Jaguars will determine the AFC South champion. The Titans can't get a Wild Card spot, which makes their game vs. the Cowboys on Thursday night meaningless. Jim Wyatt of the team's official website believe the Titans will hold out some starters out of that one. The big question, of course, is whether that will include RB Derrick Henry. We'll keep you updated on the situation. If Henry is held out, rookie Hassan Haskins would step in as Tennessee's lead back and enter the RB3/Flex conversation.
Titans RB Derrick Henry (hip) was listed as a non-participant at practice on Monday. The Titans are set to face the Cowboys on Thursday night in Week 16. With the quick turnaround, it'll be essential to see Henry log some participation soon. However, this injury didn't seem to affect the veteran on Saturday vs. the Texans. That certainly bodes well for his Week 17 availability. We'll keep an eye on this as we get closer to Thursday.
Titans RB Derrick Henry rushed 23 times for 126 yards and a TD in Saturday's loss to the Texans. That marked a disappointing performance vs. his previous 4 meetings with the Texans, each of which found Henry exceeding 210 rushing yards and scoring at least 2 TDs. But it's tough to complain about the big guy averaging 5.5 yards per rush against a defense that knew he was coming the whole time. Henry boosted that by scoring his TD from 48 yards out, meaning that he averaged 3.5 yards on his other 22 attempts. He gets a tougher matchup with the Cowboys on Thursday night of Week 17.
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.
