2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hendrickson looked to be due for regression in 2024 after logging a career-high 17.5 sacks in 2023 - a number that far outpaced his underlying metrics such as quarterback hits. However, he instead repeated his 17.5 sack total and upped his quarterback hits to 36 and total quarterback pressures to a career-best mark of 83 in 2024. Those performances, combined with the explosion of the edge rusher market, have set the scene for a dramatic offseason. Hendrickson is entering the final season of his current contract and has stated he will not play in 2025 without a new deal, while the Bengals have yet to meet his demands. There's still time for the sides to find a resolution, but this is a situation to monitor as training camp nears. Read Past Outlooks
Skipping mandatory minicamp
Hendrickson is not expected to attend the start of Cincinnati's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendrickson has already made it known that he won't play this season without a new contract, so his holdout might extend well beyond minicamp. The 30-year-old pass rusher led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024, his second consecutive season with that exact total. Hendrickson received permission to seek a trade in March, and his decision to hold out could spur organizations to inquire about his availability. He's heading into the final year of his deal with Cincinnati, which positions him for a $15.8 million salary,

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
2021
Hendrickson had the best season of his career in 2023 by nearly any measure. That began with his ability to stay on the field, as he managed to play a full season for the first time since 2021. The result was a career-high 714 defensive snaps, 17.5 sacks and 43 total tackles. Hendrickson's calling card remains his ability as a pass rusher, and he's finished no worse than 11th in quarterback pressures in each of the last three years (per PFF). While he's unlikely to replicate his sack total from last season, his ability to get to the quarterback consistently illustrates his ability to disrupt offenses and rack up production. Hendrickson's limitations as a defender against the run will cut out some of his upside relative to the elite defensive lineman, but there will be a nearly guaranteed level of production for anyone rostering him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Skips mandatory minicamp
Hendrickson did not attend the Bengals' mandatory minicamp this week due to his desire for a long-term deal, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive end has been seeking a contract extension for multiple offseasons, but Hendrickson has apparently drawn a line in the sand this year and has already said he will not play out the final year of his current contract in 2025. The four-time Pro Bowler has the experience to still thrive even if he misses a portion of training camp and/or the preseason, but it remains to be seen if either side will be willing to compromise as the start of the regular season draws closer.
