Trey Hendrickson Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that defensive end Trey Hendrickson (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in the Divisional Round against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. Hendrickson suffered a concussion in the wild-card win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he was able to practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday. The Bengals defense/special teams won't be a very popular DFS play this weekend against the top-seeded Titans, especially with running back Derrick Henry (foot) expected to play, but having Hendrickson available is great news for Cincy's defense. The 27-year-old was named to his first Pro Bowl this year and recorded a career-high 14 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and 27 QB hits in 16 regular season games.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (concussion) was able to get in a limited practice on Tuesday after he suffered a concussion in the wild-card win over the Las Vegas Raiders last Saturday. Barring a setback this week, Hendrickson could pass through the league's concussion protocol and be able to play this Saturday in the Divisional Round against the top-seeded Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old has been vital to Cincy's pass rush, earning his first Pro Bowl nod with 34 tackles (21 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, three forced fumbles and a career-high 14 sacks in 16 regular season games. Hendrickson recorded a sacks against the Raiders last week as well. The Bengals D will have the tall task of trying to stop running back Derrick Henry (foot) if he returns from Injured Reserve.

The Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a four-year, $60 million deal with free-agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson on Monday night, according to a source. The deal includes $32 million over the first two years for the former New Orleans Saints standout defender. The Bengals ranked last in the NFL in sacks with 17 last season, so they're hoping Hendrickson can boost those numbers. But Cincy also lost defensive end Carl Lawson, who had 10.5 sacks in 2020, when he signed with the Jets on Monday. The 26-year-old Hendrickson tied for second in the NFL with 13.5 sacks in his breakout season last year. He also ranked sixth with 53 pressures and 37 hurries despite playing in 15 games and less than 60 percent of the defensive snaps. The former third-rounder played in just 17 games in his first two seasons with the Saints and didn't make his first career start until late in the 2019 season.
