Derrick Henry's Dynasty Value Holding Steady Following NFL Draft

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.

Quinshon Judkins News

Quinshon Judkins Spotted at Voluntary Offseason Workouts

Wednesday, April 22, 9:45 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (knee) was spotted on the field during Tuesday's voluntary minicamp, according to Browns beat writer Camryn Justice. It's a positive development after the second-rounder's rookie season was cut short by a knee injury. The Browns drafted the Ohio State star with hopes that he'd eventually take over for Nick Chubb as the team's primary back in Cleveland, and he quickly did in 2025, running for 827 yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries (3.6 yards per tote) in 14 starts. The 22-year-old added 26 catches for 171 yards through the air on 36 targets. Judkins' presence on the field for the start of the voluntary offseason program is a good sign that he should be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season. There's plenty to like about Judkins in the long-term, but he'll need to be more efficient in Year 2 in what could once again be a very inconsistent Browns offense if he wants to take the next step and become a reliable RB1 in fantasy football.
