In previous game against Jacksonville, RB Derrick Henry became second in NFL history (Tony Dorsett, 1983) to record 99-yard run. Henry finished with 238 yards rushing and four scores. ... Henry has 636 total yards and seven TDs in six games against Jacksonville. ... Henry has NFL-leading 11 TDs over past seven games. ...

CB Chris Milton is only player on Tennessee's roster with losing record (2-3) against Jacksonville, and that's because he spent past four years with Indianapolis. ... Jaguars have won four straight Thursday night games at home, including past two against Titans. ... Jaguars rookie QB Gardner Minshew makes second start in place of Nick Foles (broken collarbone). Minshew has completed 77% of his passes for 488 yards, with three TDs and an INT, in two games. ... Two-time Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey expected to play despite requesting trade following sideline spat with coach Doug Marrone in Week 2. Ramsey played best game of four-year career last week, helping hold Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins to five catches for 40 yards. Hopkins had three receptions for 17 yards against Ramsey in man-to-man coverage. Ramsey's argument with Marrone overshadowed on-field performance, which also included dropped interception. ...

Fantasy tip: Henry a must start for Titans; Same goes for Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette and Chark. Potential sleeper: Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook, who has just six receptions on 11 targets.
