Derrick Henry News
Tuesday, May 5, 12:39 PM
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry turned in yet another excellent fantasy season in 2025, recording 1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries across 17 games. The seemingly ageless 32-year-old has now played in all 17 contests in three consecutive years and has logged at least 12 rushing touchdowns in seven out of his last eight seasons. Henry should dominate carries in Baltimore once again in 2026, and could have the benefit of playing next to a fully healthy Lamar Jackson all year after Jackson missed four games due to injury in 2025. Henry's PPR value is limited by his complete lack of receiving work, as he's recorded fewer than 20 receptions and 200 receiving yards in both of his seasons with the Ravens. He's also bound to face some age-related regression at some point, given that he could approach 3,000 career NFL carries in 2026. Still, Henry is in a great position to rack up rushing yards and touchdowns in Baltimore. For win-now dynasty managers, Henry remains a high-level running back option.

De'Von Achane News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:40 PM
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) will be held out of full team drills in OTAs as he recovers from a shoulder injury, per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. Achane missed the final game of the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury that Hafley said "had to get cleaned up" over the offseason. While it does not seem as though Achane is in danger of missing time in 2026, it's still noteworthy that the 24-year-old appears to have undergone shoulder surgery since the end of the 2025 campaign. Achane was one of the best running backs in fantasy football last year, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. He remains a high-end fantasy RB1 heading into 2026, but managers should monitor news on his recovery over the course of the summer months.
