NFL Power Rankings: 18. Tennessee Titans

2022 rushing yards rank: 13th
2022 yards per carry rank: 16th

Speaking of one-man shows, Derrick Henry took on an incredible workload, once again, for the Titans last season, as he led the league in carries (349) for the third time in his career.

Defenses were unsurprisingly keyed in on Henry. He faced eight or more defenders in the box on 38.11 percent of offensive snaps, which is the second-highest rate in the league. Still, Henry was able to produce at a high level, rushing for 1,538 yards and 13 touchdowns. He led the league in broken tackles (35) and ranked fourth in yards after contact per carry (2.3).

Despite another generational season from Henry, the Titans found themselves in the middle of the pack in team rushing statistics. I expect their team numbers to follow a similar pattern in 2023.
