Life without running back Derrick Henry didn’t get off to a great start for the Tennessee Titans, at least as far as the team’s rushing attack is concerned.
While the Titans did notch an upset victory over the Los Angeles Rams, the team saw its rushing attack struggle en route to totaling just 69 yards on 29 carries (2.7 yards per carry).
Tennessee deployed three running backs throughout in Jeremy McNichols, Adrian Peterson and D’Onta Foreman. Peterson led the way with 10 carries, followed by McNichols’ seven (and three catches) and Foreman’s five.
Despite getting the most carries, Peterson did not look like the best back. Instead, it was Foreman, who passed the eye test and posted the best numbers on the stat sheet.
With all that in mind, can fantasy managers deploy any of these three backs on Sunday in what will be a difficult matchup against the New Orleans Saints? Let’s find out now as we go over some start or sit advice.
