Derrick Henry: I am tired of watching the Super Bowl on TV

Derrick Henry has played in one AFC Championship Game, a 35-24 loss to the Chiefs in the 2019 season. After parting ways with the Titans, Henry signed with the Ravens because he believed he could win a title with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. In Henry’s two seasons in Baltimore, though, the Ravens have one playoff berth and one playoff win. He still believes. “It would be crazy for me to say I played with Lamar Jackson, and we didn’t win no championships ,” Henry said on “The Lounge” podcast, via Ryan Mink of the team website. “I cannot have that. I do not want that to be a thing. We’ve got to do it.” The Ravens lost to the Bills 27-25 in the divisional round in the 2024 playoffs and failed to make the postseason in 2025. The team fired coach John Harbaugh and hired Jesse Minter, and the Ravens revamped their defense in the offseason. Henry said he “believes that we have all the pieces to get it done.” In nine postseason games, Henry has 211 touches for 1,090 yards and seven touchdowns. It hasn’t been enough. Jackson is 3-5 in his postseason career, with one trip to the AFC Championship Game. “I want to win a Super Bowl. That’s a big motivation,” Henry said. “I just want to be able to feel that feeling. I’m tired of watching. Every year, I’m tired of being at home on the couch watching. I want to be a part of it. That’s what’s motivating me right now. I’m going to keep going until we get to that point. We have the 2026 season to get that accomplished.”

Crème de la Crème! | 10 League-Winners to Carry You to a Championship in 2026

Ten league winners. Just list guys going in the first round, right? Simple. Job done. That’s boring. For this article, I used FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP to build a list of 10 players who fantasy managers can realistically target through the first 10 rounds of an actual draft. My goal was to find one player in each round with either proven production or upside to help carry your squad to a championship in 2026. When you look up the word “consistency” in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of Amon-Ra St. Brown next to it. The Lions’ wide receiver has been as steady as you can get in fantasy. He’s finished as the WR4 in fantasy points per game (FPPG) each of the past three seasons. And because he rarely misses any time, St. Brown has been better in total scoring, finishing as fantasy’s WR3 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Career Stats Guaranteed a ton of volume and tied to Jared Goff in one of the league’s most explosive offenses, St. Brown provides fantasy managers that rare combo of a high floor and a massive ceiling. That happens when you finish second in total targets (172) and first in red-zone targets (33) at your position. He wasn’t just a volume hog, either. St. Brown was also highly efficient. Last year, he ranked third in fantasy points per route run (0.59), fourth in first downs per route run (0.130), sixth in yards per route run (2.57) and ninth in EPA (+68.6). When I’m selecting someone in Round 1, I want a guy I know is going to smash while also providing reliability. St. Brown checks those boxes, making him one of the safest bets you can make at the top of fantasy drafts. The Big Dog keeps defying Father Time, and I’m betting he can hold him off a little while longer. Even though Derrick Henry is 32, the King has shown no signs of slowing down. In fact, he looks better than he did when he signed with Baltimore two years ago. Derrick Henry’s Advanced Metric After three straight seasons of averaging between 4.2 and 4.4 yards per carry in Tennessee, Henry has averaged an absurd 5.6 YPC on 632 carries while with the Ravens. That’s right in line with De’Von Achane , the NFL’s current YPC leader. Over the past two years, Henry has averaged 1,758 rushing yards, 172 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns per season. Preposterous production from the future Hall of Famer. He’s not going to catch a ton of passes, but I can basically pencil him in for 1,500-plus rushing yards and 15-plus trips to the end zone as long as he stays healthy. Fantasy managers have lost a lot of money betting against Henry recently, thinking this is the year he finally slows down. Until I see it, I’ll keep riding him to championships. Here’s a titillating Josh Allen stat: he has six straight seasons with 39 or more total touchdowns. The next closest player in NFL history has only two. Insert any “mind blown” GIF you want, here. Everyone knows how good Allen is as a fantasy quarterback. If he retired today, he’d be the Mount Rushmore of fantasy signal-callers after finishing as the QB1 or QB2 for six consecutive seasons. Taking him near the Round 2-3 turns means you’re passing on some very good running backs or receivers, but you’re getting a player who can almost single-handedly drag your squad into the playoffs. Per Dwain McFarland of Fantasy Life , ESPN managers with Allen made the playoffs roughly 60% of the time over the past four seasons: Allen’s combination of consistency and spike-week potential makes it hard to skip past him when you’re on the clock. Take him and prosper; just adjust your build afterward by waiting on tight ends and hammering running backs and wide receivers over the next few rounds. On ESPN and Sleeper, D’Andre Swift is listed as a fifth-round pick. Kyle Monangai ‘s knee injury has pushed Swift’s ADP up a bit, to the point where he’s now regularly going in the fourth round. Round 4 or Round 5, it doesn’t matter. In either spot, I think fantasy managers are getting a potential RB1 with Chicago’s [... truncated ...]

Derrick Henry - Joined by familiar complements in backfield

Henry will head the Ravens' Week 1 game against the Colts with Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali as his lone backup options, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports. Though Keaton Mitchell is now with the Chargers after the Ravens non-tendered him back in the spring, Henry will be supported by a pair of familiar complements in Hill and Ali, both of whom were on the roster during Henry's first two seasons in Baltimore. Ali is expected to serve as the Ravens' primary kickoff returner and will see most of his snaps on special teams, while Hill returns to a familiar role as the top change-of-pace/pass-catching option in the backfield. Rookie fifth-round pick Adam Randall (undisclosed) could also factor into the equation at some point this season, though not until at least Week 5 after the Ravens placed him on injured reserve with a designation to return. The makeup of the Ravens backfield once again points to the 32-year-old Henry handling a workhorse role in 2026, after he averaged 19.6 touches and exactly one touchdown per game over the prior two seasons

Derrick Henry Has Shown No Signs of Slowing, Fully Capable of Another League-Winning Season

Derrick Henry, at 32, continues to defy age with eight consecutive double-digit touchdown seasons and the second-best odds to lead the league in rushing scores. Despite a minimal receiving profile, he has been an RB1 in six of the past seven seasons. With a new offensive coordinator expected to feature Lamar Jackson more, and with no significant changes to Henry's workload anticipated behind him, he remains a potent fantasy asset and a potential bargain at his current ADP

Derrick Henry Is Easier to Fade in Full PPR

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry still hasn't given anyone much evidence that he's slowing down. He ran for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries last season, averaged 5.2 yards per attempt and closed the year with four straight 100-yard games. Baltimore still views him as the clear leader of the backfield, too. The concern in full PPR is everything that happens outside of those carries. Henry caught only 15 passes for 150 yards last year and has 34 receptions in two seasons with the Ravens. That can leave some quiet fantasy weeks when the rushing touchdowns aren't there, even for a player this productive. RotoBaller has Henry 12th overall in half-PPR but 18th in full PPR, which tells the story pretty well. Nobody needs to predict an age-32 collapse after the season he just had. The rushing upside is still enormous. It's just easier to pass on Henry early in full PPR when other backs in that range can give you much more through the air

Jeff Hafley makes it clear he was joking about 40 touches per game for De’Von Achane

Earlier this week, Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley talked about the workload he has planned for running back De’Von Achane. And Hafley included a number that was eye-popping. “I just gave Achane a heads-up this morning and I told him you better be in good shape,” Hafley told Rich Eisen. “I told him there might be some games when I have to pick him up and carry him back to the locker room because he’s going to be so tired. I told him I don’t ever want to see one of these head taps all year, and he looked me right in the eye and he said, ‘You’ll never get that head tap from me.’ I said, ‘Don’t worry buddy. After you touch the ball 40-45 times , I might have to pick you up and carry you back into the locker room.’” After Friday’s preseason opener, Hafley made it clear that he was exaggerating. “I hope everybody realized and listened to the tone in my voice when I said Achane was going to get 40-plus carries,” Hafley told reporters. “I guess I just have to be more careful, but sometimes I like to joke around a little bit, too. Some people really believe that, they can believe that.” Whether Achane ever gets to 40 touches in a game (Derrick Henry was the last player to get to 40, with 41 in 2021(, it’s clear that Achane will be a major cog in the Miami offense. Against the Commanders, Achane had seven carries in only one drive. He gained 39 yards, an average of 5.6 yards per carry, and he capped a 14-play effort with a one-yard touchdown run. “Seven carries is a really good job, I was proud of him and I was proud of the O-Line for the way that they blocked,” Hafley said of Achane’s performance. While Achane’s workload in a single drive in a preseason game may not be indicative of a normal drive in a regular-season games, the touches will add up quickly if he’s getting 5-7 touches in any given drive. In 2003, Dolphins running back Ricky Williams led the league with 27.6 touches per game, for a total of 442. Since then, only Chiefs running back Larry Johnson (457 in 2006) and Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray (449 in 2014) have had more. After the season expanded to 17 games, only 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (413 in 2025) has had more than 400 in a single year. That’s 24.29 per game for McCaffrey last year. An average of 27 touches per game would break Larry Johnson’s single-season record from 20 years ago. So even if Achane never hits 40 in a single game, he could be on track to have the most touches in one season that any NFL player has ever had

Derrick Henry - Expected to maintain workload

Henry is expected to get his normal workload this season but will also be more involved in the passing game, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Henry has logged 280-plus carries in six of his last seven seasons, with the exception being in 2021 with the Titans, when was limited to 219 carries and eight regular-season games due to a foot injury. He's seen the highest usage among running backs the last few years, and that trend doesn't look like it's going to change in 2026 under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, the latter of whom was the OC with the Bears' last season and helped Chicago finish as the third-ranked rushing attack. The play calling for Henry may look different, with the veteran running back seeing more designed runs to the perimeter so far in training camp, and he's also expected to see more work in the passing attack. Henry is the unquestioned bell cow for the Ravens, forming a lethal one-two punch with Lamar Jackson while Justice Hill, Rasheen Ali and rookie fifth-rounder Adam Randall providing backfield depth
