Derrick Henry to see 'significant workload' Sunday for Titans
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is expected to get a "significant workload" against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3 regardless of whether or not DeMarco Murray (questionable, hamstring) plays, according to ESPN Titans reporter Cameron Wolfe.
What It Means:
"Henry is the healthier and stronger performing back at this point so he'd be the safer start on your team as a solid RB2 this week even if Murray technically starts for the Titans on Sunday," Wolfe writes. "Henry should creep closer to RB1 status if Murray doesn't suit up." Despite the tough matchup, the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner is worth considering across all formats in Week 3 versus the Seahawks. Henry rushed 14 times for 92 yards and a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday.
While expecting Murray to play, numberFire's models project Henry to score 8.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,400 in Week 3 while totaling 54.9 offensive yards and 0.31 touchdowns on 11.1 touches (2.0 receptions), making him the RB35 in our weekly fantasy rankings.
