Mularkey made sure to note that veteran DeMarco Murray is the starter, but stressed that Tennessee would make sure Henry gets playing time as well. In many situations involving a proven veteran and a rookie, the vet usually gets the majority of touches while the youngster is slowly brought in.
With how impressive Henry has looked this preseason, he should force the Titans to make this more of a timeshare and not give Murray all the touches.
Fantasy Spin: This continues what has been a great showing for Henry thus far. However, there is too much uncertainty with this offense to spend a high pick on him.
His ADP has him just outside the top 100, which is where he should remain until his role in this offense is more defined.
