2022 Fantasy Outlook
With the arrival of DC Ed Donatell, the Vikings are expected to use more 3-4 looks, with
Kendricks lining up next to Jordan Hicks as the inside linebackers. The scheme change
shouldn’t hurt Kendricks, especially not as an IDP. His IDP utility surged the last two years as
the Vikings defense declined – drives were extended for reasons outside Kendricks’ control, and
he had to make more tackles as a result. Read Past Outlooks

Lands with Bolts
Kendricks agreed to terms Monday on a contract with the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending the first eight seasons of his career in Minnesota, it took little time for Kendricks to find a landing spot with the Chargers. The veteran's signing shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as fellow inside linebackers Drue Tranquill, Kyle Van Noy and Troy Reeder are all unrestricted free agents this offseason. Last season, the 31-year-old Kendricks proved he could still contribute, playing a career-high 1,051 defensive snaps on his way to 137 tackles (87 solo), one sack, a fumble recovery and six passes defended. He'll look to build upon his stellar performance and provide a boost to an already impressive defensive unit.

Until last year, Kendricks was always a better real-life LB than an IDP, sending offenses back to the sideline before they could run up his tackle count with extended drives. In 2020, though, the Vikings defense declined, and Kendricks had to clean up the resulting mess. That allowed him to race to 107 tackles in just 11 games — just three tackles less than what he posted in 15 games in 2019. Kendricks probably won't maintain his 160-tackle pace from last year, but the Minnesota defense is still on a general decline, which should leave Kendricks busy.
