Jonathan Taylor vs. Derrick Henry: Who Will Have More Rushing Yards in Colts vs. Titans?
By Thomas Snodgrass
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is coming off a monster game against the Seattle Seahawks, running 35 times for 182 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Henry will now face an Indianapolis Colts defense that allowed a combined 99 rushing yards to Los Angeles Rams running backs Darrell Henderson and Sony Michel.
Colts’ running back Jonathan Taylor had the tough task of facing the intimidating Los Angeles defensive front in Week 2 and picked up just 51 rushing yards on 15 carries. Taylor will run against a Titans’ defense that allowed two touchdowns to Chris Carson last week, but allowed him to gain just 31 yards on 13 carries.
WynnBET Sportsbook heavily favors Henry over Taylor in this matchup with his rushing yards prop set at 103.5 (over -115/under -115). Taylor’s rushing yards are set at just 62.5 (over -115/under -116).

Indianapolis may lean more on Taylor this week with quarterback Carson Wentz banged up, but how many carries Taylor receives is a factor in this matchup. The Colts may trot Nyheim Hines out there in the backfield to take pressure off whichever quarterback suits up for Indianapolis as a pass catcher, hurting Taylor’s value.
Henry is going to get a ton of carries, he has way better yards per carry, and he is pretty much matchup proof. Henry will have more rushing yards than Taylor.
