Henry went down with what was feared to be a season-ending injury in Week 8, but it’s still possible that he returns to the lineup at some point this season. ESPN’s Diana Russini reports there is “optimism” that Henry will return to the lineup in early January, which means he would be available to help the Titans during their playoff run.

Unfortunately, an early January return doesn’t necessarily help fantasy owners. It could mean he’s back for Week 17 or 18, but the Titans likely wouldn’t push Henry in meaningless regular season games. D’Onta Foreman, Adrian Peterson, and Jeremy McNichols should continue to split the workload in Henry’s absence, but that doesn’t make any of them must-start fantasy options.
