ICYMI — Yahoo and NBC Sports have teamed up to provide you with a shot at a $1 million prize!

1.03 — RB Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens
Henry has averaged 13.7 touchdowns over the last six years, and he missed half of 2021. He now goes from one of the league’s worst offensive lines in Tennessee to a Baltimore system that helped Gus Edwards have the second-most carries inside the five-yard line (24) last year. — Dalton Del Don
