Any Titans insiders with news about DH?

He’s the starting rb for the Titans.

Really?   this is insider news?

[polecatt 474]

No news is good news I would say

[Ray_T 739]

titans took a guy many felt was the best O lineman available in the draft.   what we dont know is how he plays at the pro level.   in theory he should be plug and play good.  So i suspect more holes will open up in the run game than we saw last year.   The addition of Hopkins at WR likely means he wont run against nearly as many stacked boxes. 

These two developments may help him with a bounce back  year(not that last year was all that bad but it was subpar by his standards).    some think hes hit the wall carry wise, but I do think he has one more good year in him. 

none of this is inside info but may help you figure out what you want to do personell wise

Loved him last season, I just knew he would be very good last season like he was.  But this season I don’t see him matching his ff total that he posted last season, I have him in the 2nd rd a low rb1, or a high Rb2

If Henry and Waddle were both available in the 2nd round, ppr, who would you choose?

I would choose Henry. It's gonna be easier to fill that WR void than the RB void

[weepaws 3,150]

I would also take Henry, for the same reason polecatt just gave.

Get out a year early philosophy for me. 

Is this the year Henry finally loses it?  Maybe, maybe not. But if it is I won't be holding the bag.

well..... some people believe its age that determines when a RB is done.   some believe it is usage.

an interesting stat.

since 2017 

Derek Henry has had 1754 touches (as per fftoday)

Jonathan Taylor has had 1828 touches over the same time period (if you include college)

so if you go by the workload theory This is interesting info.

further to this lots of people only count carries as a pro,.    Henry has had high usage, but the first 2 years of his career were actually low usage.   He was the #2 RB behind Demarco Murray.

Either way, I do think Henry has one more year left in the tank.  (possibly 2 but I would not bet on that)

 

 

[weepaws 3,150]

I think he still has enough to be a lowRb1, or a highrb2.

Derrick Henry in high school - a man among boys.  Players hilariously bouncing off him and incredible field vision.

Thanks. What about Pollard or Henry in 2nd rd ppr?

I just took him over after mcccaffery and chubb went (had pick 6) so I hope he does what I need him to.
