Henry's contract ends after the upcoming season and it's uncertain if he'll stay in Tennessee. The Titans likely selected Tulane running back Tyjae Spears in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft as a safety net if Henry walks.
Spears led the American Athletic Conference in all rushing stat categories in 2022, recording 229 attempts for 1,581 yards and 19 touchdowns. Tulane shocked the college football world this season by finishing with a 12-2 record and beating USC in an historic comeback in the Cotton Bowl as Spears rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns on just 17 attempts.
Just because Derrick Henry... is well... Derrick Henry, Spears probably won't see the gridiron on Sundays much this season. However, if Henry walks, Spears has the potential to be considered the most underrated running back heading into 2024. With that being said, Spears isn't likely to be drafted in most fantasy leagues this season, but could be a late-round flier and handcuff option should Henry get hurt.

 Derrick Henry avoids concussion
Did not play most of fourth quarter or overtime in Week 13

FFToday's Take: Henry could be perfectly fine, but there is also a chance his symptoms will surface later in the week. There is also a small chance the team is avoiding calling it a concussion so he has a better chance of playing in Week 14 against the Dolphins. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his practice participation throughout the week, especially since the Titans' next game is on Monday night. Tyjae Spears would be set up for a huge workload if Henry does not play.
