Hendricks (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Hendricks is feeling under the weather and won't be able to give it a go Wednesday, so guys like Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson should get all the run they can handle. For now, Hendricks should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Rotowire
Hendricks amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 win over the Pacers.
Hendricks found himself bouncing around between the G League and the NBA during his time with the Jazz, but he's carving out a steady role since landing with Memphis. Over his first 10 contests with the Grizzlies (two starts), the third-year forward has averaged 10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.6 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Traded to Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies acquired Hendricks from the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Jock Landale and Vince Williams, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Jazz also sent Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson (illness) and Georges Niang (foot) to Memphis with three first-round picks attached.
Hendricks is a young forward with upside that the Grizzlies will now look forward to developing as they embark on a full rebuild. Hendricks was used sparingly by the Jazz as a reserve stuck behind Lauri Markkanen. Across 33 games, he averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest. With Memphis' limited frontcourt depth, Hendricks is immediately on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Rare appearance Friday
Rotowire
Hendricks finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets.
Hendricks moved back into the rotation, taking to the court for just the second time in the past six games. After a relatively strong preseason, Hendricks has tumbled down the rotation, to the point where he is not touching the floor for multiple games at a time. While he could have some limited value down the stretch, for now, Hendricks holds no value in redraft formats.

Rotowire

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Pops for season-high 21
Rotowire
Hendricks finished with 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies.
The third-year forward saw his biggest workload of the season with both Lauri Markkanen (groin) and Jusuf Nurkic (rest) missing from the Utah frontcourt, and Hendricks turned the opportunity into a new season scoring high. After losing his spot in the rotation in early November, Hendricks is fighting to regain it. Over his last six appearances, he's averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 boards, 1.8 threes, 0.7 assists and 0.7 steals in just 19.5 minutes while shooting 68.8 percent from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Season of woe continues
Rotowire
Hendricks contributed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over 13 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets.
Hendricks continues to play a minimal role, having exceeded 20 minutes only twice in the past 22 games. Seen as a decent late-round flier coming into the season, Hendricks quickly found himself on the waiver wire in just about every redraft format. Through 17 appearances, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Drops 20 off bench Sunday
Rotowire
Hendricks closed with 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 131-101 loss to Oklahoma City.
The third-year forward established a new season scoring high while tying his career high in made three-pointers, as he played 20-plus minutes for only the second time in 2025-26. Hendricks has had trouble staying healthy ever since being the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but the Jazz still have an incentive to see if he can carve out a consistent role in the rotation.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Goes scoreless in victory
Rotowire
Hendricks chipped in zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime victory over the Suns.
Hendricks was a no-show in the win, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to the season. He has now scored a total of just 15 points across three games, adding three combined steals and blocks. Seen as a viable late-round flyer in many leagues, Hendricks has been largely disappointing. Managers are well within their rights to part ways with him, given the apparent lack of playing time.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Fares well as starter
Rotowire
Hendricks produced 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3PT, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 27 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason loss to Houston.
Hendricks was limited to three regular-season appearances last year before suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle. He had a clean bill of health heading into training camp, however, and he looks ready to hit the ground running. He started Wednesday's game and had no restrictions, and he was able to showcase his two-way versatility. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft is likely to catch the eyes of some prospective fantasy managers after this performance.
