Mike Mularkey: DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry both 'starters' for Titans
Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said running backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry are both "starters" and their roles will remain the same over the rest of the season.
“I think the way it has worked out, it has worked just fine,†Mularkey said on Thursday. “I think we have two starters, and if somebody wants to just line up on the first play of the game to justify, ‘This guy is the starter,’ I don’t know. It is not something we are worried about. They are both really good at what they do.†Henry has significantly outplayed Murray over the past month-plus but it doesn't look like Mularkey plans on giving him the lead role in the Titans' backfield. They square off against the Houston Texans in Week 13.
Murray is the RB28 in numberFire's Week 13 fantasy rankings and is projected to score 9.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,200. Henry checks in as the RB35 and is pegged for 7.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,400.
