Derrick Henry Rushing for 2000 Yards in 2025 Prop Bet
Scott Morris | June 29, 2025
Derrick Henry is one of the greatest running backs of all time. I think that is fair to say at this point. He has 11,423 yards rushing and 106 TD’s in just 9 years. These numbers already eclipse some Hall of Fame running backs. The best part is that Henry is just 31 years old and is showing no real signs of slowing down. Last season he rushed for 1,921 yards and 16 TD’s.
BetUS has released a prop bet for Derrick Henry to rush for 2,000+ yards. The prop pays out +1200 on the moneyline, suggesting a 7% likelihood of Henry reaching this milestone for the second time in his career. Back in 2020 he rushed for 2,027 yards and 17 TD’s.
Placing a bet like this is a longshot. A player rushing for 2,000 yards twice in a career has never happened before. If there is a player who could pull it off it would be Derrick Henry and it would be this season. Personally, I would skip out on this offering. Henry would have to play the entire season barring injury and being rested for the playoffs.
Key factors supporting Henry’s chances include:
- Offensive Fit: Playing alongside Lamar Jackson forces defenses to account for the quarterback’s rushing threat, creating opportunities for Henry.
- Durability: Henry has shown resilience, with 2,355 career carries and no significant decline in performance.
- Motivation: A unique incentive to appear in an Adam Sandler movie if he reaches 2,000 yards adds a personal goal.
However, challenges include:
- Age and Wear: At 31, the risk of physical decline is real, though Henry has defied this so far.
- Workload Management: The Ravens may limit his carries to preserve him for the playoffs, especially with backups like Keaton Mitchell available.
- Opponent Strength: Games against strong run defenses, like the Pittsburgh Steelers or Houston Texans, could limit his output, as seen in his 51-yard performance against Houston in 2024.
