1.10 Tennessee Taz Devils - RB Darrell Henderson

Tennessee barely missed the playoffs last year.  A big reason was the running backs--Jerick McKinnon tore his ACL, and Samaje Perine failed to step up.  Like the Fighting Saints, though, they went 4-1 over Weeks 9 through 13, even despite another ACL tear (WR Cooper Kupp, who turned out to be a big steal in the 2017 Draft).  To that end, they took Henderson, who (according to Rotoworld) was considered by several analysts to be top RB in this year’s class.  The Rams traded up to draft him in Round 3, and their GM, Les Snead, compared him to Alvin Kamara.  Factor in Todd Gurley’s arthritic left knee (he tore the ACL in that same knee in 2014), and Henderson could play a lot more.  For what it’s worth, the Rams reportedly restricted the number of carries Gurley had in the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl.  Note: QB Josh Rosen had a shaky rookie season last year, but the Taz Devils were able to handcuff Rosen by shipping Blaine Gabbert to Dallas for Ryan Fitzpatrick, solidifying their QB depth for this season.
