The 2024 fantasy football season was maybe the most difficult and challenging campaign that fantasy managers have ever endured. We saw the statistical fall of several big-name players, especially at wide receiver, where a litany of injuries and subpar stats from to the position left fans with holes in their starting lineups. We also saw the re-emergence of the running backs, including Saquon Barkley, who became the ninth player to rush for at least 2,000 yards.
Heck, Derrick Henry finished the regular season with over 1,900 yards and scored a career-best 336.4 fantasy points … and he did it at the age of 30! The King became only the second running back at age 30 or older to rush for more than 1,800 yards (Tiki Barber did it in 2005), and Henry was obviously the first to rush for more than 1,900 yards at that “extended” age.
