Before a foot injury requiring surgery caused him to miss the last nine regular season games of 2021, Henry was on pace to become the first player since Walter Payton to lead the NFL in rushing for three straight seasons. The only man who may be more "beast mode" than Marshawn Lynch himself, Henry incredibly returned for the playoffs with a steel plate and five screws in his foot and still took the ball 20 times in the Titans' divisional round loss!
Prior to last season's setback, Henry had only missed two games in his previous five NFL seasons. Still, at 28 years old, there will be whispers wondering if he's starting to hit that RB wall (see Christian McCaffrey's litany of injuries the past two seasons), especially given the workload he's taken on over the course of his career. But I'm here to tell you it's nonsense. The man's social media posts of his offseason workouts are the stuff of legend. Foot fractures can be tricky, but he will be ready to go.
Even when Henry was out the Titans stayed committed to the run, averaging over 135 rush yards per game. Expect more of the same in 2022 and expect Henry to be the guy driving the effort. He's in the conversation for No.1 overall selection in most drafts along with Jonathan Taylor.

 Derrick Henry listed as Doubtful
Unlikely to play in Week 17

FFToday's Take: The Titans don't have much to play for this week as their Week 18 against Jacksonville will determine their playoff fate. With Henry unlikely to play, expect a heavy dose of Hassan Haskins against Dallas in Tennessee's run first offensive attack.
