Derrick Lamar Henry Jr. is an American football running back for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. His imposing rushing game and larger stature than the average running back earned him the nickname “King Henry”.
Derrick Henry: Backups| Out for season| Backup fantasy| Should i drop
Backups:
McNichols is from Long Beach, California. As a kid, he and fellow NFL player John Ross played in Snoop Dogg’s youth football league in Long Beach, where his versatility led to him earning the name “McWeapon”.
Out for season:
Henry had tests Monday to check the severity of the injury after he finished Sunday’s 34-31 overtime win in Indianapolis.
Vrabel said he knows Henry will do everything possible to work himself back to help the Titans (6-2).
“Whenever that is, that’s when it’ll be,” Vrabel said. “I know that he’ll be around our team as soon as he can. I know that’s important to him.
Backup fantasy: Derrick Henry
Henry, the two-time NFL rushing champ, went to the bench early in Sunday’s game. He was shown on TV with his right shoe off and talking to trainers with 6 minutes, 3 seconds left in the first quarter before he returned. Henry finished with 28 carries for 68 yards and a 2.4-yard average, which was his lowest this season. He played 54 of the 73 offensive snaps.
The 2020 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year did not talk to reporters after the game.
Should I drop:
Henry became the eighth man in NFL history to run for at least 2,000 yards last season, with 2,027 yards on a career-high 378 carries. The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner and two-time Pro Bowl running back had a combined 386 carries in the 2019 season and playoffs.
The Titans are fourth in the NFL in rushing yards per game, averaging 147.6 yards. That has helped them rank second in the league in possession time per game — they average 32 minutes, 49 seconds.
