Derrick Henry has been activated and will play football on Saturday for the Titans in the divisional round.
Earlier this week, we highlighted one of our favorite props in the game, Joe Burrows. After a few days of reflecting, it's time to add another prop bet: Derrick Henry.

Look at that race. This is one of dozens of game-changing runs the Titans have delivered through their careers.
His today's OD on Kings is set at 82.5 rushing yards, and that's a number worth betting on.
All reports indicate that Henry is going to play a major role in Saturday's game. This man was seeing an incredible amount of time before his injury. Henry had 28 or more carries in six of the eight matches he played for this year.
He has crossed this total in six of the last seven matches he has played. In the year, Henry averaged 117.1 rushing yards per game.
His over/under was being dropped in the 100s when he was healthy, and now we get it at 82.5? Sign me up.
His matchup
The Bengals by no means offer a dangerous front that Henry cannot exploit. The PFF grades the Cincinnati Rush defense 22nd in the NFL, and their rush average of 4.4 yards ranks among the league's units.
The running back has recently found success against the Bengals. Josh Jacobs ran for 83 yards in the wild card game. From Weeks 15-18, running an average of 117 rushing yards per game against Cinci.
No team moves more than Tennessee on a per-game basis. This is the hallmark of their crime. Don't be intimidated by the Titans limiting Henry, but rather the belief that being active means he's ready to go.
The Titans have the advantage in the home field and a legitimate chance to score a Super Bowl run. Remember, this is a team that has been to the playoffs three years in a row.
It was behind Henry's massive effort when he scored a run in the AFC championship game two years ago.
When he lost his first game last year, Henry was held for just 40 yards. The recipe for success in Tennessee is pretty clear, so we're betting on Henry's over on Saturday.
