2024 Fantasy Outlook
The veteran linebacker stayed productive in 2023 as he racked up 117 tackles and 3.5 sacks for the Chargers in 15 games. Kendricks has produced 100-plus tackles in eight straight seasons, an impressive stretch of consistency, and after joining the Cowboys this offseason on a one-year, $2.94 million contract, he figures to deliver big tackle totals once again in the middle of his new defense. Kendricks' experience in the system should make his adjustment easier, as he spent the first seven seasons of his career with Mike Zimmer, Dallas' new defensive coordinator, as his head coach.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Kendricks (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kendricks did not play in Week 6 against the Lions due to a shoulder injury, but he has played in the Cowboys' last two games since their Week 7 bye. It's unclear if this shoulder injury is the same as the previous one, but it was serious enough for him to miss Wednesday's practice. Kendricks will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's NFC East clash against the Eagles.

The Chargers in recent years have struggled to find a play-making middle linebacker despite investing considerable resources into the position. The former Vikings stalwart might just be the solution. Kendricks wasn't quite the turnover creator that he had been in past Pro Bowl campaigns with the Vikings, but he did tally 137 tackles and one sack across a career-high 1,051 snaps, and he should be an important defensive leader for a team that has struggled with mental gaffes in the past. Expect Kendricks to be among the league leaders in tackles provided he's able to stay healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Happy to be reunited with Zimmer
Kendricks' decision to sign with Dallas was in part due to the presence of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kendricks played under Zimmer when he was head coach in Minnesota. Upon the coach's departure in 2022, Kendricks made critical comments of Zimmer's style, but he has since clarified that he was simply frustrated by the team's 8-9 record that season. Kendricks spent the 2023 campaign with the Chargers and signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Cowboys this offseason.
