Derrick Henry Has Bust Potential In Week 8

Derrick Henry Has Bust Potential In Week 8

one year ago

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has rushed 98 times for 425 yards and three touchdowns this season and is averaging 13.6 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. He's still been productive and is 13th among all running backs in fantasy points, but he failed to score more than 10.0 fantasy points in two of his six games. He's not as bust-proof as in years past and is at risk of posting a dud performance in Week 8. He's set to face the Atlanta Falcons, who have surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position this year. To make things even trickier, rookie Will Levis is expected to start in the absence of Ryan Tannehill (ankle). All that said, Henry is still worth starting due to his overall touch volume.
