For some reason it took the Titans coaching staff a few years to figure out how to use Derrick Henry properly. In case you missed it, the proper way to use him is to give him a ton of carries straight into the teeth of the defense, and watch him wear them down.
During his first and second seasons, Henry ran the ball only 110 and 176 times. In Week 13 of the 2018, Henry ran for 238 yards and 4 touchdowns on only 17 carries, and that seemed to snap Vrabel and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith out of it. They stopped giving around half the snaps to Dion Lewis and instead began letting Henry shine, and they have been rewarded.
In 2019 Henry ran the ball over 20 times on seven different occasions, something he had only done three times in his entire career before last season. He had 15 or more carries in every game but one. Henry ran for 5.1 yards per carry, for a remarkable 1540 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also added in 18 receptions and 2 more touchdowns through the air.
Behind an excellent offensive line (ranked 4th per footballoutsiders.com), Henry often built up a head of steam before the line of scrimmage, and it is very difficult to stop a fast 247-pound running back in full gallop. Although he does not get much work in the passing game, the Titans did design a few screens for him to keep the defense guessing, with quite a bit of success. That will never be a prime part of his game, but he should continue adding a bit of value in the passing game.
The bottom line: As long as Henry retains his power and speed and continues to get adequate work, he will produce nicely. He is a worthwhile first-round fantasy choice, even in a time when running backs who are not extremely active in the passing game have been devalued.

Titans get deal done with Derrick Henry
Four years, $25.5 guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Jul 15, 4:07 pm
|  | Titans and RB Derrick Henry is signing a four-year, $50 million contract that includes $25.5 million guaranteed, source tells ESPN.
In one off-season, the Titans keep both Henry and Ryan Tannehill on long-term deals. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It was reported just yesterday that a deal wasn't likely but the July 15th deadline spurred action and allowed Henry to get a couple years of security. Henry (25) is coming off a monster season and will be the focal point of the Titans offense heading into 2020. He's a RB1 target in fantasy drafts in the middle of Round 1.
| Derrick Henry not expected to get long-term deal
July 15th deadline for franchise player long-term contracts
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Jul 14, 8:00 am
| | Titans and Derrick Henry are not expected to reach a long-term deal by Wednesday deadline for franchise players, per source. Henry is scheduled to make $10.27M this season and become a free agent in off-season.
Any franchise deals by Wednesday will be an exception, not the rule. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Henry signed his tender offer and hasn't made any noise about a holdout so it appears he will report to camp without any disruption. Henry's coming off a monster fantasy season (303-1540-16; 18-206-2) where he finished as the RB5 in PPR leagues.
