Draft note

by John Paulsen

Derrick Henry finished as the RB8 in his age-29 season running behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Tennessee running backs averaged 2.2 yards before contact per attempt last season, while the Ravens were second (3.2) in the league. Henry posted the No. 6 rushing grade at PFF, and was 11th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in broken tackles per attempt. His age is a minor concern, but if Henry can stay healthy he has the potential to put up monster numbers in the Baltimore offense, which has generated an average of 15.0 (running back) rushing touchdowns since 2020. Working backward, he has finished RB8, RB4, RB14 (eight games played), RB2, and RB3 in the last five seasons. He has legit 20-touchdown upside in the Baltimore offense.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) to remain on PUP list

Adam Schefter on X

Aug 27 · 9:07 AM EDT

Baltimore is expected to leave RB Keaton Mitchell on the Physically Unable to Perform List, which means he will be ineligible to play the first four games of the season.

Related players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Rasheen Ali

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell burst onto the scene last year and was a very popular pickup that paid off for a couple of weeks before he went down for the season. Hill will likely get the call to compliment Henry, and Ali could get a chance as well. Ali was a popular, late-round dynasty name this past spring.

BAL RB Derrick Henry - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Kansas City Chiefs

Derrick Henry has the talent to overcome some of the small red flags presented to him in his new home. Henry produced top-10 numbers in a ton of key metrics last season in a far worse situation. Even if the veteran bulldozer has lost a step, he still has incredible fantasy upside as a goal-line back, and the typical Ravens' RB rotation is likely to be more substantial this year, particularly if Keaton Mitchell misses a lot of time.

He needs to be started everywhere this week against a Chiefs defense that ranked 26th in aFPA to the position last season.
