SCOTT PIANOWSKI: One more running back take I'm going to give you, Derrick Henry is running in mud right now. Not only do I want to-- you have to play Henry, I get it. I want to pick against the Titans this week. And I want to tell you right now, this is your hot take for 2023. Do not draft Derrick Henry next year, OK?

Just, the carries have added up. He's in his late 20s. It's a very dangerous part of a running back's career. He's not going to be anywhere near my draftable board next year. Even in the second round, I'm just going to let somebody else have Derrick Henry.

He's had a great career. And I hate that we have to play fantasy football like an actuary sometimes. It's not fun. We want to root for our favorite players. But it wasn't that long ago that Le'Veon Bell was the best running back or Todd Gurley was the best running back. And those guys couldn't even get to their 30s and still hold their relevance. So if you take nothing else from what's going to happen in December, do me a favor. Do not draft Derrick Henry next year.
