Free agent and former Titans RB Derrick Henry agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. Former Ravens RB Gus Edwards agreed to a two-year, $6.5M deal with the Las Angeles Chargers during the NFL’s first day of the legal tampering period on Monday, while J.K. Dobbins is a free agent and is recovering from an Achilles tear that ended his 2023 season after just eight carries.
Let’s examine the immediate implications and fantasy football impact of Gesicki agreeing to terms with the Bengals.

Derrick Henry Agrees to Deal With Baltimore Ravens
Some players are simply built differently. Henry has and remains one of those guys. Last year, at age 29, he ranked first in rushing attempts and second in rushing yards while showing little drop-off in his efficiency metrics.
Last season, among 68 qualifying backs, Henry ranked ninth in explosive run rate and 11th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). While he will cross the dreaded age 30 threshold this year, it’s tough to project a drop-off for Henry and any reasons that he can’t continue to chug along as an RB1, especially when Henry has proven over the last two seasons that his pass game utility should increase despite his advancing age.
Over the last two years, Henry has ranked 11th and 14th in TPRR and seventh and first in YPRR among backs.
With only Keaton Mitchell (recovering from a torn ACL) and Justice Hill on the roster to threaten his workload and plenty of scoring opportunities incoming (BAL was second in red zone scoring attempts per game last season), Henry should eat in 2024 as the Ravens’ workhorse back and spike double-digit touchdowns.
