CJ Henderson
CB - Houston Texans
2024 Outlook

Henderson will head to Houston after close to three seasons with the Panthers. He'll look to take a step forward in his career under DeMeco Ryans.
Carolina Panthers CB CJ Henderson said that he is not 100% right now but plans to play Week 4 despite his ankle injury.
Fantasy Impact
Henderson has played in all three games for the Panthers so far, starting two of them. Though he hasn't graded out particularly well according to PFF (58.5 coverage grade), he has played plenty (58% of defensive snaps). He will have a busy day against Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings, whom Henderson called a top-five WR.
The Carolina Panthers have declined the fifth-year option on CJ Henderson.
Fantasy Impact
Henderson played in 17 games with Carolina last season, tallying one forced fumble, two interceptions, and six passes defensed. The Panthers declining the fifth-year option will make Henderson an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
The Jaguars traded CB CJ Henderson to the Panthers in exchange for TE Dan Arnold and a third-round pick.
Fantasy Impact
Henderson joins the Panthers' secondary after the unit lost star rookie Jaycee Horn in Week 3. Henderson was Jacksonville's first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Multiple team executives believe that Jaguars’ CB C.J. Henderson is available via trade. Jacksonville has given impression in some league circles that they are shopping Henderson, a high-pedigree player one year into rookie deal.
Fantasy Impact
The ninth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft is now apparently on the trade block. There has been no known issues between Henderson and the Jaguars. The former first-rounder just returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list. There is a good chance the Jaguars are just feeling out the market under new HC Urban Meyers. Henderson battled some injuries in his rookie season, but also showed glimpses of strong play. He's a naturally gifted athlete, that many teams would love to have. We will have more on this. Stay tuned.
