    Derrick Henry - Fantasy Impact

    I had a fantasy football draft and took Derrick Henry in the later rounds with hope that he could steal carriers from DeMarco as the season progresses. However i'm unsure since I was unable to watch a single Titans preseason game.

    Anyone have any good thoughts on Derrick Henry and his fantasy projection this year?

    It's a good pick. Huge Bama homer here of course so I watched a good bit of his preseason. Still a little ways to go to be a good NFL back but he will get there as season roles on...kid is 100% about competing and he'll get put in right spot on his carries to maximize them especially in their division and schedule. Should get several touches you'll be good.

    I have Lamar Miller and Latavious Murray in front of him so i'm good for now, but hopefully I can flex Henry once the season goes on!

    Henry led all NFL rushers in preseason and he still said he could have played better.

    Titans coach Mularky already said he'll use both backs on 3rd downs instead of committing to one as the 3rd down back, meaning they have confidence in Henry as a pas catcher and pass protection. Which is impressive, since that's something he didn't do much of in college.

    I give it 6 games before Henry starts getting more touches than Murray.

    Not to mention the kid is a freak of nature. Just look at him compared to the 3 Bama RB's before him...

    I got this dude on my bench too, and at his ADP definitely worth the pick IMO. I think he gets a lot of carries, and if Murray gets hurt... jackpot. Play him or trade bait.

    He is going to be a hard guy to tackle because of his size. I have Murray, and was pissed when somebody picked Henry later and stole my cuff.

    He's incredibly tough to tackle. Doesn't have much speed/burst but he definitely has the vision to find the hole (unlike Trent Richardson)

    Finding the hole and being so damn big = a few yards every time.
