Derrick Henry Is Defying His Age Heading Into 2026

Friday, September 4, 5:36 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to prove he has not slowed down despite entering his age-32 season. In his first two seasons in Baltimore, Henry has totaled 3,859 scrimmage yards and 34 touchdowns in 34 games, averaging 17.9 fantasy points per game. Despite a "down year" by his standards in 2025, he still finished as the RB7, even as the team struggled offensively throughout the season. In 2026, Henry remains an incredible value for fantasy managers. With Lamar Jackson back and healthy, Henry should face fewer stacked boxes than last season, when he ranked first in Defenders in the Box (7.0) and second in Stacked Front Carry % (23.8). He may not be the best receiver, but if healthy, he should contend for the NFL's leading rusher in 2026.

Bijan Robinson Still a Fantasy Superstar Despite Goal-Line Work Concerns

Friday, September 4, 5:10 AM

Atlanta Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson will remain a fantasy superstar in 2026 despite rumors he would not get goal-line work. Robinson had 287 carries for 1,478 yards and seven touchdowns, while adding 820 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 79 receptions. His elite production last season came while running back Tyler Allgeier shared the workload, and Allgeier had 157 total attempts for 610 yards and eight touchdowns. The Falcons replaced Allgeier with former Commanders and 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr., and reports on his usage in Atlanta have been mixed, ranging from taking the "Allgeier role" to splitting reps with third-string back Tyler Goodson. Regardless, Robinson will remain an elite option in the first rounds of fantasy drafts. He's an elite runner and receiver and has yet to miss a game in his NFL career. He should be among the first three picks in fantasy drafts this season.
