Derrick Henry News
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.

Breece Hall News
Tuesday, September 8, 8:32 AM
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Tuesday that running back Breece Hall (groin) is trending towards being ready for Week 1 this Sunday, Sept. 13, against the Tennessee Titans, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Hall has been trending this way for a while after initially suffering a minor strain of his right groin during training camp practice on Aug. 17. The Jets held Hall out as a precaution to close out camp and the preseason, but he should be ready to return to practice on Wednesday, and as long as he does not have a setback later this week, he should be ready to take on his role as the bell-cow back for Gang Green on Sunday against Tennessee. If Hall is limited at all, though, look for Braelon Allen to take on a bigger change-of-pace role to get the season started. The 25-year-old Hall had his first 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025 in his fourth year in the league, adding four touchdowns on 243 rushing attempts across 16 starts. The former second-rounder added 36 catches for 350 yards and another score as a receiver. Hall should see enough volume alone to operate as a strong RB2 for fantasy managers in his fifth year in the NFL in a new offense led by veteran quarterback Geno Smith.
