In two games without their superstar rusher, Derrick Henry, the Tennessee Titans have struggled to move the ball on the ground, which has been bad news for fantasy managers who have a stake in either Adrian Peterson, D’Onta Foreman or Jeremy McNichols.
In Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, Titans backs combined for 23 carries for 58 yards, a putrid 2.5 yards per tote.
Foreman led the way with 78 total yards, including a team-high 30 rushing, while Peterson had 21 to McNichols’ seven. Foreman also led all Titans backs in carries with 11.
While it has been ugly without Henry, there are a few reasons for hope this week.
For starters, those two aforementioned matchups came against the Saints (No. 1) and Los Angeles Rams (No. 10), two teams that sport a top 10 run defense.
Also, in Week 11, the Titans draw a very favorable matchup against a Houston Texans defense that has struggled mightily against the run.
So, with that in mind, can you trust any Titans back this week? Let’s find out now.
