2026 Outlook

At 32 years old, Henry remains elite—a five-time Pro Bowl selection and the NFL's 10th all-time leading rusher. Since joining the Ravens in 2024, he leads the league in carries (632), rushing yards (3,516), yards per carry (5.6), rushing TDs (32), and yards after contact (2,585). In 2025, despite the Ravens struggling, he still finished second in the league in rushing yards (1,595) and tied third in rushing TDs (16). His late-season surge (664 yards, 6 TDs over final five games) demonstrated he only got stronger as the season progressed. (per Year 11 comes with changes for Ravens RB Derrick Henry)

Entering 2026 with a new head coach (Jesse Minter) and first-time offensive coordinator (Declan Doyle), Henry brings vast experience adapting to new offenses. His work ethic and professionalism exemplify how to navigate terminology changes and learning curves. Head coach Minter noted that watching Henry master new formations and cadences while maintaining his elite standard sets the tone for the entire organization. The Ravens' first four weeks present a soft schedule for Henry: the Colts, Saints, Cowboys, and Titans all offer favorable matchups for a physical runner. Henry should see heavy goal-line work and big-play opportunities early (per 2026 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: Teams to Target, Fade).
