Derrick Henry signed a 2-year, $30M extension through 2027 with $25M guaranteed, cementing his role as RB1. Ali remains firmly behind Henry and Keaton Mitchell on the depth chart with minimal offensive snaps.

Ali sits 3rd on the depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell with Justice Hill on IR. Ali emerged as a solid RB3 in the 2025 season, but remains in a highly competitive touch-share situation with limited weekly consistency.

Ali has just 26 offensive touches across two NFL seasons and finished at 16% snap share in Week 18 on a declining trend. At 1.6 PPG on the season with a PPR rank of #83, he has not converted opportunities into production or expanded his role.

Ali is the No. 3 RB but in a direct training-camp battle with 2026 fifth-round rookie Adam Randall (6'3", 231, 4.5 speed, pass-catching profile) for that spot. With Henry and Justice Hill locked atop the depth chart, the loser of the Ali/Randall battle risks the practice squad or a roster cut.

Ali finished second on the team in both catches and receiving yards, turning a short reception into a 30-yard TD in recent weeks, reeling in 4 of 5 targets for 43 yards and a score over his last two contests. This pass-game versatility offers dynasty appeal if volume increases.

Keaton Mitchell signed with the Los Angeles Chargers on a 2-year, $9.25M deal in free agency, removing the primary competition for Baltimore's RB2 role. Ali enters 2026 as the de facto backup with the clearest path to handcuff touches of his career.

Henry might be in for a massive dip in production in 2026; while still far better than peers, some stats suggest he's slowing down a bit. Henry will be 33 years old by 2027 contract expiration, creating a pathway for Ali to increase touches if decline accelerates.

Ali emerged as a solid RB3 while Keaton Mitchell provided backup depth; Hill may not have a spot and could save the Ravens $3.1 million if cut. Roster decisions on Hill could improve Ali's depth chart standing heading into 2026.

Henry turns 32 during the 2026 season and is locked in through age 33 — a window where even elite running backs historically show meaningful erosion. Ali's dynasty upside window opens naturally as Henry ages into his extension years.
