With DeMarco Murray potentially out for this weekend’s game, Derrick Henry becomes a huge asset to fantasy owners. The Titans are playing a must win game this weekend against “arch rival” Jacksonville.

If Tennessee wins, they’re in the playoffs as a Wild Card. If they lose, however, hope isn’t lost, but they’ll certainly have to have a few things go their way in order to make it to the postseason. Jacksonville still has something to play for as well, so this will be a competitive game.

Henry hasn’t been a huge factor in the Titans offense, but the team has also been struggling down the stretch. Tennessee is practically crawling to the finish line and Henry could get a boost by having a good game against the Jags this week.

He should get the carries. Even if Murray is active, one would think the Titans would have more faith in Henry to move the football.
