Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans

Price: $6,500

With DeMarco Murray missing practices and looking iffy at best for the Tennessee Titans' playoff opener, Derrick Henry could be in line for a large workload against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that finished the season ranked as the league's sixth-worst run defense, per numberFire metrics.

Henry is the ninth-most expensive running back on the slate, making him a nice value with the anticipated volume he could see should Murray sit out. With Murray sidelined last week, Henry had 28 carries for just 51 yards, but he also took a screen pass for a 66-yard touchdown, saving his fantasy day. More importantly, Henry was on the field for 97 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps, which indicates that when Murray is out, Henry is a bellcow back.

The Titans are a 9.0-point underdog in this matchup, so if Kansas City starts fast, game flow may go against Henry, but in order to keep this game close, Henry may also be the Titans' best option for offensive production against a subpar Chiefs run defense.
