5 NFL Red Zone Trends to Monitor for Week 4

Derrick Henry Trending Up

After Derrick Henry ceded the lion's share of the Tennessee Titans' red zone work to Dion Lewis in Week 1, things looked grim for his fantasy outlook.

With Lewis already having the clear edge as the passing-down back, the fact he had two red zone carries to Henry's one and scored a goal line touchdown made it look like he was going to be the dominant fantasy force in that backfield. Henry's volume in scoring range has been creeping up though.

His share of the Titans' red zone work has increased every week. His opportunity market share went from 12.5% in Week 1 to 33.3% in Week 2 to 66.7% in Week 3. Lewis' share has gone from 25.0% to 33.3% to 0.0%.

Henry now has the team lead for red zone opportunity market share at a hefty 37.5%, while also dominating the rushing market share at 66.7%.

Like Buffalo, the Titans' offense doesn't exactly project to be a high-scoring group, but getting the bulk of the looks in scoring range means that Henry does continue to offer some viable fantasy upside.

As a side note in Tennessee, if we take out the target that Delanie Walker saw before his season-ending injury, Corey Davis has accounted for two-thirds (four of six) of the team's red zone targets.
