Attention, fantasy managers: Derrick Henry is rolling again. With the Tennessee Titans staring down a possible 0-3 record, they turned to their best player in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

The All-Pro running back had 143 yards offense -- 85 yards rushing and a touchdown and five catches for 58 yards receiving.

It's the performance the Titans have been waiting for with Henry, who has long been the spark that ignites the offense.

In his seventh season in Tennessee, Henry has 192 yards rushing, 58 yards receiving and two touchdowns this season.

With the Titans having lost left tackle Taylor Lewan for the season and already dinged up on defense, it'll be crucial for Tennessee to get big returns from Henry as the team claws its way back from an 0-2 start. He could make thousands of fantasy managers happy, too.
