Derrick Henry

While Ryan Tannehill was a big part of the Tennessee Titans’ success last year, this offense will only go as far as Derrick Henry can carry them. The big bruising running back is a unique combination of power and speed that gives opposing defenses nightmares.

Last year, Henry led the NFL in rushing attempts (303), rushing yards (1,540) and rushing touchdowns (16). This year is shaping up to be another heavy workload for Henry as he is averaging over 27 carries and 106 rushing yards through the Titans’ first three games. He also has two touchdowns.

While the Buffalo Bills do have some size, they are a defense built more on their speed. This is a matchup that could cause problems for the defense and it will be important for every player to collapse on Henry when he gets the ball. It will likely take two, or more, players to bring down this big running back.
