Ryan Tannehill is back under center to start the 2023 season, which can only help Henry's efficiency as the Titans posed virtually no threat through the air with Malik Willis and Josh Dobbs starting. Henry remains one of the few running backs left in the NFL who is his team's offensive focal point and unquestioned workhorse. With Tennessee's offensive infrastructure collapsing around him throughout 2022, Derrick Henry still managed to finish as a top-five RB in fantasy by amassing 1,936 total yards and 13 touchdowns on a robust 349 touches.

He led his position in yards per route run, so the Titans should continue to involve him in the passing game. We know he's going to be the Titans' workhorse–he's one of two backs (Jonathan Taylor) to average more than 20.0 touches per game in each of the last two seasons–in an era when true bellcow running backs are a rarity. His advanced stats–fourth in both yards after contact per attempt and broken tackles per attempt–showed no signs of a decline. Given his age (still sub-30 at 29-years-old) and light usage early in his career–just 501 total carries in his first three seasons–there should still be quite a bit of tread left on Henry's tires. On a per-game basis, he finished just 0.5 fantasy points per game out of the RB2 spot (McCaffrey). He finished as the fantasy RB4 in half-PPR behind only Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey and Josh Jacobs. His 1,936 total yards was the second-highest of his career. He played 16 games, amassed 1,538 yards and 13 touchdowns on 349 touches, and smashed his career high with 33 catches for 398 yards.
