Elite late-season form; no efficiency decline at 32; B-tier with RB1 upside if targets increase.
Henry closed 2024 with 85 carries, 570 yards, and 6 TDs in his final 4 games on a struggling Ravens offense, including a 4-TD game against Green Bay in week 17. Colton Miller argues Henry shows no efficiency decline despite age 32 status: since joining the Ravens, Henry trails only Jalen Gibbs in fantasy points over expectations (+4.6); leads all 30+ year old RBs in yards per carry since WWII; posted 9% explosive run rate in Lamar Jackson starts (second only to Devon Achane); has been over 2 fantasy points over expectation in 4 of last 5 seasons—ahead of every superstar RB. Miller rejects age curve application: 'I'm done applying the age curve to Derrick Henry.' Henry is fourth in yards per route run among all RBs since 2021 and leads all RBs in yards per target. With Lamar Jackson, Henry averages 5.6 yards per carry—the most efficient running back in NFL history with Lamar on the field. New offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, coming from Ben Johnson and Sean Payton's systems, could unlock additional pass-catching upside; if Henry reaches 35 receptions in PPR leagues, he has 'darkhorse RB1 potential.' Henry is B-tier rather than A-tier primarily due to uncertainty around pass-catching volume, but Miller is 'not fading' him.
