Henry carried the ball 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
No running back in NFL history has dominated a team the way Henry has dominated Houston. In each of Tennessee's last four meetings with its AFC South rivals, the 28-year-old power back has run for at least 200 yards, and he's the first RB in history to run for 150-plus yards and two TDs in four straight games against the same opponent. Henry also became the third back in league history to have six career 200-yard rushing performances, joining O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson in a very exclusive club. The Titans star has also reached triple-digit rushing yards in four straight games this season, a streak he'll look to extend in Week 9 against Kansas City.

Henry rushed the ball 30 times for 128 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts. He added three receptions for 10 yards.
EDGE Analysis
The Titans followed a familiar game script, as they took a lead against the Colts and used Henry to run out the clock in the final two quarters. As a result, he reached the 30-carry threshold for the first time this season and surpassed 100 yards for the third consecutive game. Also of note was Henry's ability to pick up chunk gains, as his longest rushes of the day went for 23 and 21 yards -- doubling his number of carries that have gone for 20 or more yards on the season.

Henry rushed the ball 28 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions for 30 yards.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, Henry was the driving force behind the Tennessee offense, accounting for two of the team's three touchdowns. Both came on one-yard rushes, but he also had two carries that went for more than 10 yards while adding a 24-yard reception. Henry now has three consecutive games with over 100 total yards and at least one touchdown.

Henry carried the ball 22 times for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts. He added three receptions for 33 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Henry had a tremendous first half, posting 99 rushing yards on 14 carries. The highlight came on a 19-yard rushing touchdown, but he also chipped in three carries that went for more than 10 yards. While his production slowed in the second half, Henry topped 100 rushing yards for the first time this season. Notably, he also has eight receptions combined across his last two games.

Henry rushed the ball 20 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders. He added five receptions on six targets for 58 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Henry did the majority of his damage early, as he tallied 106 total yards prior to halftime and also plunged in for a one-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. Though he was bottled up in the second half, Henry's performance was encouraging as he topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time this season. Perhaps most notable of all was Henry's involvement as a receiver, a skill he showcased early in the 2021 season prior to going down with a foot injury. After a slow start to the campaign, Henry appears to be back on track heading into a Week 4 showdown at the Colts.

Henry rushed 13 times for 25 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Henry rumbled in for a two-yard touchdown on fourth down to cap Tennessee's first drive but was bottled up for the rest of the night as the Titans were outplayed in every facet of the game. Through two games, Henry has averaged just 3.1 yards per carry, as opponents are stacking the box and Tennessee's passing game is failing to make them pay. Henry should find more running room in Week 3 against the Raiders, but the Titans' inability to replace A.J. Brown's production through the air has clearly bled into Henry's production on the ground.

Henry carried the ball 21 times for 82 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants. He failed to catch his only target.
EDGE Analysis
The game mostly went according to script for Henry, who softened up the defense in the first half before beginning to see some bigger gains later in the afternoon, but his longest run went for only 18 yards and and he didn't get into the end zone. The bruising back may have proved he's all the way back from last year's foot injury, but he'll likely need to be more productive in a Monday night clash with the explosive Bills in Week 2.

The Titans have reportedly re-worked Henry's contract to give the running back a $2 million raise this coming season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, Henry is now slated to earn $14 million this coming season, while 2023 remains the final year of his contract with the Titans. As Week 1 approaches, the 28-year-old -- who is bouncing back from a foot injury that limited him to eight regular-season games in 2021 -- is firmly entrenched as the Titans' lead back. In that capacity, Henry is in line to log a steady workload this coming season, barring any injury setbacks, with Dontrell Hilliard, Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut on hand to work as complementary options in Tennessee's backfield.

Coach Mike Vrabel doesn't anticipate Henry participating in any preseason games, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
That's not much of a surprise, with Henry bouncing back from a foot injury that limited him to eight regular-season games in 2021 and firmly entrenched as the Titans' lead back. On the plus side, the 28-year-old has indicated that he's past his foot issue, but there's little incentive for the team's coaching staff to expose Henry to unnecessary injury risk ahead of Week 1. Meanwhile, with D'Onta Foreman having signed with the Panthers this offseason, Hassan Haskins and Dontrell Hilliard are currently in line to compete for complementary touches behind Henry, who's destined to maintain a high volume of carries for Tennessee when healthy.

With D'Onta Foreman having signed with the Panthers, Hassan Haskins and Dontrell Hilliard are in line to compete for RB touches behind Henry, who remains the Titans' clear-cut top back, Mike Moraitis of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
When healthy, Henry -- who was limited to eight regular season games in 2021 -- is destined to see the bulk of Tennessee's carries, a context that probably won't lead to regular volume for his backups. That said, if the Titans are inclined to lessen his workload at all, or if the 28-year-old (who has indicated that he's past his right foot issue) misses time for any reason, Henry's understudies would see an uptick in fantasy value. Unless the team adds another back in advance of Week 1, Haskins (a 2022 fourth-rounder) has a chance to be the next man up, though Hilliard -- who held his own last season while Henry was out -- could factor in as well. Also currently in the team's backfield mix looking to secure depth roles are Trenton Cannon, Jordan Wilkins and Julius Chestnut.
