Derrick Henry Expected To Return In Week 17
5 years agoTennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 17 against the Texans, and he'll be as healthy as he's been in a long time for the must-win game. Henry's hamstring injury didn't get worse last week, but the Titans simply chose to rest their stud running back for the most important game of their season. The bruising back has been a fantasy MVP in the second half of the season for the second straight year, although his owners were unfortunately without his services in the fantasy finals in Week 16. Henry had 21 carries for 86 yards in the loss to Houston just two weeks ago. He'll return as an elite RB1 this weekend as they look to give him a full workload. Dion Lewis will return to change-of-pace duties and has no standalone value when Henry is active.
