It has been a quiet rookie season for Derrick Henry, and it does not appear to be getting better anytime soon.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Derrick Henry an easy call vs. Jaguars
Can Derrick Henry become a factor in Tennessee’s backfield and in fantasy football?
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports
With DeMarco Murray having a big season, the Tennessee Titans have rarely given Henry touches as the year has worn on. He has just 15 touches over his last four games and just five in the past two games.
In seven games this season, Henry has rushed for 161 yards on 37 carries (4.4 avg.) with five grabs for 70 yards. He has been productive with his limited touches, but not enough to be relevant in fantasy football.
Fantasy Impact: If you own Henry, it is only as a handcuff to Murray right now. There is no reason to start Henry in any league until he shows he can be a factor as the No. 2 running back, or if Murray gets injured.
Keep Henry on the bench this week when Tennessee faces the Jacksonville Jaguars.
