2022 Fantasy Outlook

Done for Week 18
Hennessy (knee) will not return Sunday against the Buccaneers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Hennessy's absence will leave the team down its starting left guard for the remainder of the contest. In his absence, Colby Gossett will likely handle the position.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The second-year center had his first two career starts last season as a rookie when Alex Mack went down with an injury. During those starts the Falcons clearly saw enough from the 2020 third-round pick to believe he was ready to be the starter in 2021 as they let Alex Mack leave in free agency.
