Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans

Average Draft Position: 3.10, RB18, 35th Overall

We caught glimpses of Derrick Henry as a workhorse in 2017. In Week 17 and the first two weeks of the playoffs, Henry played at least 93% of the Tennessee Titans' snaps. He had 29, 25, and 15 touches in those games.

But other than those outings, he topped a 44% snap rate just twice in 2017, and we frankly can't know what his role will look like in 2018, given that the Titans brought in Dion Lewis.

The Titans' win total is set at eight (juice on the under), and that's enough where we don't need to worry that Henry won't face positive game scripts, but it's far from a given that he gets to grind out the clock on a weekly basis.

Including playoffs, Henry maxed out at three catches in a game and had multiple grabs in just five outings. Whether or not he's a capable receiver isn't the question. What matters is whether the team defers to him or brings in Lewis when trailing.

That big of a question mark shouldn't surround the RB18 via draft cost. Since 2013, just 4 of 90 backs finishing top-18 in PPR points had fewer than 200 touches. Henry had 123 and 187 so far in his NFL career. Unless his role over Lewis compares from what it had been relative to DeMarco Murray, Henry is set up to disappoint.
