Kansas City Chiefs
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

Comes off IR
TEKansas City Chiefs
December 24, 2024
Hendershot (calf) was activated from injured reserve Monday and does not have an injury designation for Wednesday's Week 17 matchup versus Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Hendershot had been on IR since late November due to a calf injury. He was designated to return Monday and estimated as a full practice participant both Monday and Tuesday. With no injury designation for Wednesday's game, Hendershot appears set to return to action against the Steelers. He'll presumably work as the Chiefs' third tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray while also contributing on special teams.

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.
