Bob Harris and Matt Waldman project Derrick Henry can rebound into the top-5 RBs in 2025 at age 32, despite finishing as RB7 last season. Waldman attributes last year's perceived poor performance to Lamar Jackson's injury, not Henry's decline. He cites the Ravens' draft of a generational guard prospect (Mekari Becton) as supporting infrastructure for Henry's rebound. Waldman expects Henry to be a top-3 to top-4 back and a value pick. Harris notes that at 32 years old, while cliff-fall risk exists for any aging back, the cost to find out is not prohibitive given his likely RB1 production if healthy. Both emphasize that a healthy Lamar Jackson is critical to Henry's rebound.
