Injury Status: Healthy
by Ryan O'Bleness
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry currently leads the NFL in rushing attempts (147) and ranks sixth in the league in rushing yardage (579). He is tied for third in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (seven). However, Henry is currently averaging a career-low 3.9 yards per carry, and he has rushed for under 60 yards in each of his last two games. He rushed for a season-low 45 yards in a Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. However, with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson back, things could open up for Henry and Baltimore's ground game in a Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have struggled to defend the pass (285.8 passing yards per game allowed), but have been better against the run, allowing 101.0 rushing yards per game (15th in the NFL). Henry will remain a high-volume tailback and a must-start player against the Bills. Henry ranks as RotoBaller's No. 5 running back for Week 8.

Derrick Henry 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Veteran Running Back Looking to Avoid Father Time Once Again

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry's 2025 season wasn't quite as prolific as his 2024 campaign, when he topped 2,100 scrimmage yards and finished fourth in the AP Offensive Player of the Year voting. Still, the ageless wonder recorded 1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries across 17 games. Henry has now recorded double-digit rushing touchdowns in eight consecutive seasons, and he's averaged 5.6 yards across his first two years with the Ravens. Henry is entering his age-32 season in 2026 and is on pace to become just the 21st player in NFL history to reach 3,000 career touches, which naturally leads to questions around when he will start to decline. The veteran back has also recorded just 34 receptions on 43 touches across his 34 career games with Baltimore, so his fantasy production is heavily reliant on both high-volume and high-efficiency rushing. At the same time, it's difficult to bet against Henry when he's been such a reliable force and remained extremely effective in 2025. He also should spend more time playing in a fully operational Baltimore offense in 2026 after star Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed four games last season due to injury. Fantasy managers will have to weigh the possibility of age-related decline when selecting Henry, but he projects as a low-end fantasy RB1 entering his 11th NFL season.less...
