Spends season as No. 2 tight end
Kendricks did not catch a pass in the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Lions and finished the season with 19 receptions for 170 yards and a touchdown over 16 games.
Analysis: Kendricks worked as the Packers' backup tight end in 2018 and finished second among players at his position in all of snaps, receptions and yards. His two-year contract with the team expires this offseason, and it remains to be seen if he will be back with the Packers for the 2019 season. Whether Kendricks ends up back in Green Bay or elsewhere, expect the soon-to-be-31-year-old to slot in as a reserve.

Snags two passes in win
Kendricks caught both of his targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Though the production itself has been modest, Kendricks has now had two of his three best performances of the season from a yardage standpoint in the past two weeks. His 20-yard catch-and-run Sunday opened the second half for Green Bay and set up a field goal in route to a big Packers comeback. It's hard to get too excited about a handful of catches for a backup tight end, but Kendricks does have a decent matchup to end the season against a Lions defense that has been middle-of-the-pack against…read more

Season-high four receptions
Kendricks caught four passes for 27 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Kendricks played a season-low nine snaps Sunday, but he was targeted frequently when on the field, notching a season-high four receptions. He could conceivably see a boost in activity before the season ends if the Packers -- eliminated from playoff contention -- decide to further limit or shut down top tight end Jimmy Graham (thumb), but even then, his fantasy value would only be minimal. Kendricks is averaging just 8.5 yards per reception and has scored only once this season.

No targets for second straight week
Kendricks played 17 snaps on offense in Sunday's victory over the Falcons and was not targeted.
Analysis: Kendricks played the second-most snaps among Packers tight ends like he usually has this season, but that did not result in any impact in the box score for the second week in a row. Top tight end Jimmy Graham is playing through a broken thumb, but that has not resulted in any boost in production for Kendricks.

No targets Week 13
Kendricks played 12 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Kendricks' snap count decreased for the third week in a row, and the 12 plays were his fewest in a game since Week 3. Changes could be coming in the Packers offense with Mike McCarthy no longer in town, but given Kendricks' declining snap count and overall output, it's unlikely his fantasy value will change noticeably.

Little change in role
Kendricks caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Though he had a chance to be more involved this week with fellow tight end Jimmy Graham playing through a broken thumb, Kendricks actually played a smaller percentage of snaps than he did in Week 11 against the Seahawks. After another quiet day on the scoresheet, it's clear Kendricks doesn't project to offer much in terms of fantasy upside even if Graham is limited for additional contests.

Role could expand
Kendricks caught two passes for 12 yards in Thursday's loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Kendricks provided his typical modest production in Week 11 despite playing over 50 percent of the snaps for the second week in a row. More notable than Kendricks' own production was the fact that fellow tight end Jimmy Graham injured his thumb in the contest and could be forced to miss time as a result. If Graham is in fact sidelined for at least the Packers' Week 12 game against the Vikings, Kendricks -- who has operated as the No. 2 tight end all season -- would likely move into the starting…read more

Ties season-high snap count
Kendricks caught two passes for 24 yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.
Analysis: The two receptions were Kendricks' first since the Packers' Week 7 bye, and the 24 yards were his second most in a game this season. He tied a season high with 35 snaps as the Packers took it a bit easy with fellow tight end Jimmy Graham and his sore knee. Kendricks is next in line should Graham be limited at all again in Week 11 with a short practice week for the Packers, but even if he plays more like he did in Week 10, he would likely continue to be counted on mainly in the blocking…read more
