Derrick Henry Still an RB1 in Fantasy Football?

Sunday, April 12, 10:16 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was a top-eight fantasy option at his position for the fourth year in a row last season. He ranked as the overall RB8 in 2025 with 1,745 scrimmage yards and 16 touchdowns. Even at 32 years old, Henry has proven to be a productive and reliable ball-carrier, as well as a high-end option for fantasy managers. While he's certainly more valuable in redraft leagues than dynasty formats given his age, he projects as an RB1 once again in 2026. Fortunately for Henry, the Ravens didn't bring in any major running back competition, leaving Rasheen Ali and pass-catching specialist Justice Hill as his backups. The head coaching change from John Harbaugh to Jesse Minter could have an impact on his future, but we don't expect a massive shift. Henry ranks #12 among running backs in RotoBaller's redraft rankings for 2026, and he ranks #27 among running backs in the latest dynasty rankings.

Omarion Hampton Remains a High-End Dynasty Running Back Despite Injury-Marred Rookie Season

Thursday, April 2, 12:09 PM

The number 22 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had his rookie season disrupted by ankle injuries that caused him to miss eight games. However, Hampton was productive when healthy, racking up 737 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 156 touches across nine contests. The Chargers made a big addition this offseason by bringing in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as their new offensive coordinator. Under McDaniel, Miami ranked fourth in the NFL in yards per rush attempt, and he helped steward Dolphins running back De'Von Achane's emergence as a superstar. While Los Angeles signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell in free agency, Hampton still profiles as the team's clear RB1 and possesses a three-down skill set. RotoBaller ranks Hampton as the eighth-best running back for dynasty formats coming off his encouraging rookie year.
