Analysis

Henderson opened the 2026 season on Seattle's practice squad, having lost the final active receiver job in training camp to undrafted rookie Montorie Foster Jr., and sits behind an established top four of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton on the depth chart. Smith-Njigba is the clear focal point of Sam Darnold's passing game, commanding roughly a third of the team's targets, which leaves little room for a call-up receiver to produce even if elevated. Henderson's timed speed and return work give him a foothold as a special-teams piece and a plausible emergency call-up if the receiver room absorbs an injury, but that path points toward gunner reps rather than meaningful target volume. Sell or cut in shallow and standard-sized formats; only deep dynasty rosters with bench space to spare should hold, and revisit if he's elevated during the season.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

2
  • Roster Spot Risk

    Henderson opened 2026 on Seattle's practice squad after losing the final active receiver job in camp to undrafted rookie Montorie Foster Jr., leaving him behind an established top four of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton.

  • Target Volume

    Smith-Njigba is drawing roughly a third of the team's targets in Sam Darnold's offense, so even a call-up would face a thin pool of remaining looks, and Henderson's likeliest path onto the field is as a special-teams gunner rather than a receiving role.

Opportunity Flags

1
  • Usage & Volume

    As Seattle's top practice-squad receiver, Henderson is a logical first call-up if the injury-prone Kupp or another member of the top four misses time, which would open a route toward game reps.
