3 years agoTennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols is expected to see an increase in usage with Derrick Henry (foot) sidelined for six to 10 weeks. The Titans running back hasn't had a game with 12-plus carries in the NFL and draws a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Titans signed veteran Adrian Peterson to help replace Henry, but fantasy managers should expect the 36-year-old to be on a snap count this Sunday in his first game with the team. The Rams defense ranks eighth in rush DVOA and is 19th versus fantasy running backs this season. McNichols has more value in PPR formats, as he's caught 21 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown over eight games in 2021. The 25-year-old is a flex play and mid-range RB3 against the Rams, at best, in Week 9.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
