2024 Fantasy Outlook
After showing flashes of upside in his rookie season and catching two touchdowns on only 11 receptions, Hendershot made little impact in 2023, hauling in four of seven targets over eight games and failing to find the end zone. The 25-year-old underwent ankle surgery immediately following the campaign after suffering an injury in the Cowboys' wild-card loss, but he's expected to be fully recovered by training camp. Jake Ferguson has a lock on the starting tight end job, but Hendershot will compete with Luke Schoonmaker for depth snaps and targets. Read Past Outlooks

Kansas City placed Hendershot (calf) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendershot suffered a calf injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, and now he'll be forced to miss at least the Chiefs' next four outings as he recovers. Travis Kelce and Noah Gray are currently the only healthy tight ends on Kansas City's 53-man roster, but the team did add rookie undrafted free agent Baylor Cupp to its practice squad Tuesday.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the star of Week 9, leading the league in fantasy points and air yards despite taking nearly all of his snaps in the slot. RW's Jerry Donabedian has the full breakdown from Sunday.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
An undrafted rookie out of Indiana last year, Hendershot was one of the surprises of training camp and not only won a spot on the roster, he also carved out a role for himself on offense. Touchdowns in Weeks 7 and 15 were the highlights, but Hendershot also showed he can contribute as a blocker and on special teams. Fellow second-year player Jake Ferguson offers more of what the Cowboys look for in a starting tight end, however, as does 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker. Hendershot likely will have to settle for a depth role once again this season.
