Hunter Long Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE63 last season at 3.6 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE85 at 0.5 PPR points per game, against 3.6 over 9 games last season (TE63). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 65th of 81 in route participation (23.1%), 64th of 82 in target share (3.1%) and 70th of 82 in efficiency (0.61 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Jacoby Brissett is his quarterback.
He's TE3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Lions in Week 5 (1st against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Long's 2025 advanced profile is a tale of efficiency wasted on volume. Across seven games he posted a strong 0.457 EPA per play and a 58.8% success rate, and his catchable-target rate held up enough to score two touchdowns on just 17 looks. But the underlying usage is microscopic: a 23.1% route share, 3.1% target share, and a 0.056 WOPR all scream backup. A 23.5% drop rate on four total drops further caps trust, and at 39.9% snaps he never controlled the formation.
The path forward stays narrow. Long sits behind Brenton Strange on Jacksonville's depth chart and profiles as the next-man-up only if Strange misses time. Projections of roughly five catches, 44 yards and one score for the full season confirm there's no standalone value here. Hip and knee issues have already clouded his availability. He's a desperation streamer at best until injury opens real snaps.
