Chargers' Lance Kendricks: Lowest reception total of career
Lance Kendricks recorded just three receptions for 50 yards in 12 games with the Los Angeles Chargers this season.The entirety of that meager production came during Weeks 3 and 4, in which Hunter Henry (knee), Virgil Green (groin) and Sean Culkin (knee) were all out. Kendricks would play just 26 offensive snaps from Week 6 onward and is likely on the tail end of a career that has spanned nine professional seasons.

Chargers' Lance Kendricks: Lone healthy TE standing
Lance Kendricks caught two of his three targets for 37 yards in the 30-10 win Sunday over the Dolphins.It's a bit improbable, but Kendricks might have some bona fide fantasy value, at least in deep formats, after Sunday's contest which saw nominal starter Sean Culkin tear his Achilles in the second half. The Los Angeles Chargers surely will bring in a healthy body at some point, but with Virgil Green (groin) still on the mend and Hunter Henry (knee) expected to be out for another couple of weeks, Kendricks technically is the only healthy tight end on the roster at the moment and, at least throughout Sunday's contest, saw a substantial jump in playing time (38 of 67 snaps on offense).

Chargers' Lance Kendricks: Only TE to catch pass
Lance Kendricks corralled one of his two targets for 13 yards in the 27-20 loss Sunday to the Texans.The good news: Kendricks was the only tight end to catch a pass Sunday. The bad news: both Sean Culkin (44) and Virgil Green (27) significantly out-snapped Kendricks (11) throughout the contest. Considering the veteran tight end joined the team last week, the less-than-ideal snap count should be expected, but it's at least worth monitoring as the Los Angeles Chargers try to get by without Hunter Henry (knee) for an extended period. Still, the extreme target share going to the likes of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler each week likely handicaps any sort of fantasy output for Kendricks.

Patriots' Lance Kendricks: Long gainer sets up TD
Lance Kendricks had a catch-and-run of 28 yards during Saturday's 22-17 win against the Titans.It's been a revolving door at tight end for the New England Patriots this offseason, with Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Ben Watson and Matt LaCosse (ankle) all considered for prominent roles at varying points, only to be cut from the team, suspended or moved down the depth chart due to injury. Kendricks was signed on July 24 and may end up being one of the last men standing when it's all said and done. He brings with him valuable experience and 2,500 career receiving yards, but he was relatively quiet during his two seasons with Green Bay, compiling just 37 catches for 373 yards, despite logging 12 starts and playing 23 total games alongside Aaron Rodgers.

Patriots' Lance Kendricks: Spotted in non-contact jersey
Lance Kendricks (undisclosed) took the field Monday, sporting a red (non contact) jersey, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.With Kendricks still not ready to practice fully and Matt LaCosse dealing with a lower-leg injury, the New England Patriots added some depth at tight end by acquiring Eric Saubert from the Falcons on Monday. LaCosse is the team's projected Week 1 starter at tight end, with Ben Watson set to serve a four-game suspension, but if LaCosse's injury persists, Kendricks could factor in early on, assuming his own health isn't an issue.
