Derrick Henry is Not Thinking About Retirement

Thursday, July 30, 5:35 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has been one of the top players at his position for many years. Despite his stellar performance, fantasy managers need to start thinking about when Henry might decide to retire. The 32-year-old is entering his 11th season in the NFL. Despite his age, Henry recently said that he's not thinking about retirement right now. He is focused on being the best player possible and helping the Ravens win football games. Henry has finished in the top-8 or better in each of the last four seasons. At some point, you would think age regression would play a factor, but Henry is apparently a different animal. He's currently ranked as the RB13 in redraft leagues heading into the season.

Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy "Competing for Everything"

Saturday, August 1, 4:00 PM

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Saturday that both running backs, Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., are "competing for everything at this point in time. Both those guys are going to play a lot." While both backs have produced and are legitimate starting options in the NFL, Skattebo is expected to have the edge at the start of the season. Before fracturing his ankle in Week 8, Skattebo was taking full control of the backfield, averaging 103.8 scrimmage yards and scoring six touchdowns in the five games before the injury. With the new coaching regime in New York for the 2026 season, whoever performs best early will earn more trust and likely a larger workload in the backfield. Both backs should be rostered, with Skattebo as a low-end RB2 and Tracy as a productive handcuff with upside to start in soft matchups.
