Derrick Henry Thread - Is he still King Henry post injury?

[blemly]

They need to know more before any decisions are made, I’d imagine. Tough spot for TEN as they are gifted a tough decision with only a few seconds left on the proverbial shot clock.

[Ruggenater]

Come on Marlon Mack!

Can’t imagine the Colts trading Mack to their only legitimate division rival.

[Cameron Giles]

I think this is the rare case of an RB loss actually mattering in real and fantasy. Whatever replacement is back there is not going to have comparable or even partial effectiveness running behind that line.

[Anteaters]

Melvin Gordon seems like the perfect solution.

[YouMightDieTryin]

Why do I have this odd feeling that they could lop off Henry's foot and he'd still plod for another 1k yards?

I want to know more, but Henry seems like a guy that (if allowed) would be back in 4-6 weeks like nothing ever happened.

[MEuRaH]

If Henry is out for the rest of the year, his production is good enough to be RB12 last year! He'll probably remain the RB1 even if he misses the next 2-3 weeks.

Crazy good season. Too bad if it's cut short.

This is an impressive statement. Going to be interesting how the Titans adapt.

[BlackOmega]

Too bad Darrynton Evans went back on IR this would have been the perfect opportunity for him to show what he could do {or couldn't do perhaps}. I think the Titans will need another back from somewhere but as pointed out the trade deadline is so close they may have to go the FA route in a few days when they have a better handle on their situation

[dynastyninja]

Henry really had me believing that he could handle astronomical workloads for multiple years where other studs would have fallen apart. He's still an iron man, but it's further proof that once you're around the 400 touch mark there's a really good chance you get injured the following season.

[Orenthal Shames]

Nobody can replace Henry in that offense. Whoever they replace him with won't sniff the production he brought to that team.

Tannehill, AJB, and Julio (if/when he gets healthy) are going to see production boosts if Tennessee remains in contention.

FWIW, McNichols is 2nd on the team currently in both receptions and targets.

I like McNichols as an option. May not be a 3 down back, but he offers a lot to that offense with pass catching. I really feel that he could carve out RB2 numbers. Defenses now have to apply more pressure on Brown and Julio leaving a check down option and safety net for Tannehill. Regardless, even if TEN brings in another back, I feel like McNichols is still the back to own.

[Orenthal Shames]

Welp. Having surgery tomorrow. Out 6-10 weeks.

[CGW]

Is the 6-10 for normal humans? If so, Henry will prob be back in 4-6.

This will be devastating for lots of fantasy rosters. I just don't see a replacement for his production on the Tennessee roster.

[wickerkat1212]

So are we picking up ADP or McNichols here? Also, with a $100 blind bid ww budget, how much would you spend on either or each? I have Henry in a dynasty, and I'm in first place. HELP!

This quite a guessing game. As other's have mentioned, nobody is coming in and replacing his production. I would be conservative with FAAB, whichever direction you go.
