Its pretty clear that Henry covers up a lot of warts on the team and that he's top 5 most important offensive players in the league.

I think you are under rating the impact of a guy like AJ Brown. Without him, teams literally do not fear the Titans passing game and can really load up the box on them. Even King Henry is going to have a hard time running for more than that if teams have zero worry about the passing game. I'm sure they would like to keep running too, but when penalty's put you in a 3rd and 14 situation, two 6 yard runs don't help you much.
As much as QB's get all the press, there are a few wide outs who change an entire teams complexion on offence. Take Devante Adams out of the Packers offence or Tyreek Hill away from KC and and those teams are much easier to defend in my opinion than if you took Jonathan Taylor away from the Colts type of thing. Even the Raiders offence has struggled without Henry Ruggs basically being a decoy stretching the field.
