Fantasy start or sit Week 9: Adrian Peterson, Jeremy McNichols

The Tennessee Titans will begin life without Derrick Henry in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams after the superstar rusher broke a bone in his foot that required surgery, sidelining him anywhere from six to 10 weeks.

The loss of Henry, who has been the best back both in fantasy and real life, is devastating for both the Titans and fantasy managers alike, but life goes on we all must push ahead.

Taking the reins in the Titans’ backfield is 36-year-old future Hall of Famer, Adrian Peterson, who was signed to Tennessee’s practice squad this week. He’ll be joined by Jeremy McNichols, who will help carry the load.

While there is plenty of work to be gobbled up by the Titans’ backs, is it safe to start either McNichols or Peterson in Week 9? Let’s find out right now by taking a look at some start or sit advice for both.
