Analysts question 2026 fantasy prospects for Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry faces scrutiny regarding his 2026 fantasy football outlook as he enters his age-32 season. Despite a late-season performance where he logged 36 carries and recorded 45.6 fantasy points to aid the Baltimore Ravens, long-term indicators suggest a decline. Analysts note that Henry's fantasy scoring increasingly relies on rushing yardage and touchdowns due to a consistent reduction in targets. Entering the current cycle with a preseason RB10 average draft position, he faces significant pressure to maintain high-level production. His reliance on efficiency metrics over volume creates concerns for fantasy managers expecting a continuation of his historical career performance. The shift in his role within the Baltimore offense has led to questions about his ability to meet high preseason expectations.
