Outlook Derrick Henry
Derrick Henry @ IND — Poised for Heavy Workload in High-Scoring Season Opener
Henry enters the 2026 opener completely healthy as Baltimore's undisputed lead back, sitting atop the depth chart ahead of Justice Hill. Coming off back-to-back 300-carry campaigns, the veteran bruiser remains the focal point of the Ravens' ground attack alongside Lamar Jackson and should dominate early-down and goal-line opportunities in Indianapolis.
Our weekly projections forecast around 15 carries, 76 rushing yards, and near-certain goal-line looks, pegging him for approximately 15.9 fantasy points. Rostered and started in 100% of leagues, Henry benefits from a favorable matchup and high projected game total, making him an elite must-start option across all formats.

Outlook Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks vs. CHI — Risky Flex Option While Managing Groin Injury
Brooks enters Week 1 listed as questionable due to groin soreness, though both he and head coach Dave Canales expressed confidence he will suit up against Chicago. Working behind Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's backfield, Brooks should see a rotational share of touches if active, particularly with Trevor Etienne sidelined on injured reserve.
Fantasy managers have taken a cautious approach, starting him in under 20% of leagues. Our weekly projection forecasts around 10 carries, 44 rushing yards, and two receptions against the Bears. In a home matchup with decent scoring upside, Brooks profiles as a risky flex option who is best benched if possible. Check back before kickoff for final updates.
