Is the Derrick Henry stash finally about to pay off?

DeMarco Murray had 60 yards on 14 touches in Week 1, 35 yards on 10 touches today, and was held out most of the second half due to a hamstring injury.

Henry had 92 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Not to mention the Titans scored 31 points in the second half.


Prediction Time:
A) Nothing to see here. Murray is still the clear cut lead back when healthy.
B) Murray is still in the lead but Henry will start taking more and more carries away.
C) Henry will be the starter 4 weeks from now regardless of Murray's health.
D) Henry will lead Murray in carries in each game the rest of the season.

E.) CJ Anderson will start for me in place of Murray/Henry until I find out.

It's coming. Mularkey looked happy as a pig in shite after that Henry touchdown today. He had the definition of a shite eating grin. I'll go with E) Henry will be the bellcow and Murray will be the third down back

I had Murray last year and rode him to the championship game. I ended up losing, only partly to Henry vulturing carries late season. For this very reason, I stayed away from both of them this season. Ajayi, Freeman, CJA and Lynch with a Forte kicker.

They'll probably sit Murray, or at least reduce his workload against Seattle. Another strong showing from Henry next Sunday and that job is wrapped up.

Unless Murray is out right hurt, it will be difficult to start Henry on a weekly basis IMO.

I'm teetering on starting Henry over Miller next week.

I have him in one league and will try to trade for him in the other. The switch is coming. Writing is on the wall. Strike while the iron is hot if you don't own him

Took Murray in the third to pair him up with Gordon. Rode this same combo last year til Gordon tore his ACL. Getting concerned rn over this. Only other RBs i have are Ingram (whom I got in the 8th round) and some guy named Kareem Hunt (whom I got in the LAST round).

I think Henry's floor is about 10-12 carries a game leaving him with somewhere around 40-50 yards and a really good shot at reaching the end zone. I think you can expect 7-8 points any given Sunday and with the right match up he can be a solid flex play. If anything happens to Murray the sky is the limit.

Here we see Jalen Ramsey making a valiant effort

And here we see Jalen Ramsey making a business decision


Here we see grown men getting tossed aside


Here we see a 315 pounder getting tossed aside


And here we see Jack Conklin blocking the hole, so he gets moved too



Derrick Henry is coming baws, and he's bringing that tree trunk attached to his right shoulder with him
