Right now, the 3rd-most run-oriented team in football (43.5% adjusted for context) according to the projection model is the Titans.
In this week’s game, Derrick Henry is anticipated by the projection model to position himself in the 88th percentile when it comes to RBs with 16.1 rush attempts.
Cons
At a -5.5-point disadvantage, the Titans are underdogs this week, indicating more of a focus on passing than their normal approach.
Based on their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Titans are expected by our trusted projection set to run only 64.0 plays on offense in this contest: the 10th-fewest on the slate this week.
The 4th-lowest number of plays in the league have been called by the Titans this year (a measly 55.2 per game on average).
Derrick Henry has run for a lot fewer adjusted yards per game (63.0) this year than he did last year (91.0).
The Houston Texans defense boasts the best efficiency against opposing running games this year, allowing just 3.39 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC).
