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.

Josh Jacobs News
Monday, May 4, 10:17 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs put together another highly productive season in 2025, recording 1,211 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns across 15 games. Since joining the Packers in the 2024 offseason, Jacobs has collected over 2,800 scrimmage yards and has hit pay dirt 30 times. Entering 2026, Jacobs projects to dominate backfield touches in Green Bay for a third consecutive season and should see plenty of red zone opportunities while playing for a potent Packers' offense. Still, dynasty managers may want to consider selling high on Jacobs. He dealt with calf, knee, and ankle issues in 2025, and his average yards per carry dropped to 4.0, down from 4.4 in his first season with Green Bay. Jacobs is also entering his age-28 season and has functioned as a true workhorse running back for most of his NFL career, averaging over 300 touches per season since entering the league in 2019. Jacobs projects as a borderline top-12 running back for 2026, but his dynasty value could be slowly declining with age.
