2023 Fantasy Outlook
Henderson finished last season with career highs in tackles (58) and passes defended (six) while playing all 17 games for the Panthers. Nonetheless, Carolina declined his fifth-year option this offseason, putting Henderson on track to become a free agent next spring. In the meantime, he profiles as one of the team's main options behind Jaycee Horn and Donte Jackson at cornerback. Read Past Outlooks

March 21, 2024
Henderson signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Henderson hasn't made the expected impact tied to his first-round draft capital, but he was a decent contributor in the Panthers' secondary for the last two seasons. He's likely to fill a similar depth role with the Texans, potentially taking the field in nickel or dime formations.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
A first-round pick in 2020, Henderson was traded to the Panthers early last season. The Florida product finished with 31 tackles in 10 games for Carolina and figures to compete for a depth cornerback role in 2022.
Not too long ago Henderson would have been playing a complementary role in Jacksonville's secondary, but he's poised to start in his rookie campaign given the recent roster turnover. Jalen Ramsey was disgruntled and shipped out midseason last year, and A.J. Bouye was also traded away this offseason. 2018 UDFA Tre Herndon started 14 games in 2019 and figures to remain in that role for 2020, with Henderson expected to start on the opposite side. The ninth overall pick out of Florida had six interceptions, 20 passes defensed, four sacks and two forced fumbles over his three collegiate seasons.
