Derrick Henry has been an absolute fantasy football machine during most of his NFL career, rushing for 1,100-plus yards in each of his last four full seasons. That span includes a 2020 campaign in which he rushed for 2,027 yards. He’s also rushed for 12 touchdowns or more in each of those four years, and he had 10 in just eight games in 2021. Last season, he finished eighth in points among backs.
Henry, who is now 30 years old, has seen a decline in rushing yards and scores over his last three full seasons, however. He also averaged a career-low 4.2 yards per rush in 2023. Still, the bruising back remains an impact maker despite the fact that his best fantasy seasons are likely behind him. Henry is also a good bet to be on the move, as the Tennessee Titans didn’t franchise him this offseason. And even at 30, which is “old” for a runner, Henry will have his share of suitors.
Here are five of the teams where the talented runner would be best served, in terms of both real and fantasy football, as he enters his ninth NFL campaign.
