Derrick Henry Has Become a Sneaky Sleeper Option in Redraft Leagues

Friday, July 17, 12:59 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry turned in yet another highly productive season in 2025, recording 1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries across 17 games. As he enters his age-32 season with nearly 15,000 career touches under his belt, the aging curve is an obvious red flag in Henry's profile. However, Henry has shown little sign of slowing down to this point in his career, and he should have a better offensive ecosystem around him in Baltimore this season after Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed four games due to injury in 2025. Henry has played in all 17 games in three consecutive seasons and recorded double-digit rushing touchdowns in eight straight campaigns. As long as he's on the field, Henry is a solid bet to provide top-12 fantasy production. At his current redraft ADP of RB13, Henry should be a draft-day target for fantasy managers.

Tony Pollard News

Tony Pollard a Low-Upside Pick at Current Redraft ADP

Saturday, July 18, 11:37 AM

Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 275 touches. By measure of per-game PPR scoring, Pollard finished the year as the RB30. The veteran back has been both durable and consistent in recent years, recording four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played, 1,000 rushing yards, and 200 receiving yards. However, he's scored just 10 touchdowns across 33 career games as a Titan. While Tennessee's offense should continue to improve in 2026, it still profiles as a mid-tier unit at best heading into the year. Additionally, Pollard is now entering his age-29 season with over 7,500 career touches already under his belt. Tennessee has already shifted more of the backfield receiving workload to running back Tyjae Spears in recent seasons and also added a running back in the 2026 NFL Draft in Nicholas Singleton. As the RB28 by current redraft ADP, Pollard may have trouble paying off his draft-day price.
