Derrick Henry No. 15 and Ja'Marr Chase No. 16 on NFL Top 100

Player voting on Aug. 19 signals sustained peer respect for both players, underscoring their expected central roles.

Overview

The NFL Top 100 released player votes on Aug. 19 and placed Derrick Henry at No. 15 and Ja'Marr Chase at No. 16 in the 2026 list.
Henry's No. 15 ranking marks an eight-spot drop from No. 7 in 2025 but keeps him inside the top 15 of peers' evaluations.
Henry finished 2025 with 307 carries for 1,595 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns while appearing in all 17 games.
Chase recorded 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025 and remains one of the league's most productive receivers since entering the NFL.
The Top 100 is a peer-voted measure that reflects how players are viewed by their peers and is widely watched but does not predict future performance.
