Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The profile is a blocking-first TE2 buried behind Dalton Kincaid, and the path to relevance runs entirely through a Kincaid absence. Until the snap count climbs past 44%, the receiving production stays a rounding error. He is an end-of-draft dart and a deep-league injury stash, not a weekly asset, but the efficiency floor means any volume bump would play up fast. Next on the depth chart after him: Keleki Latu.

Jackson Hawes Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE51 last season at 3.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE107 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 3.1 over 17 games last season (TE51). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 66th of 81 in route participation (22.7%), 54th of 82 in target share (4.0%) and 16th of 82 in efficiency (1.55 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Route participation is the soft spot. Josh Allen 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 Raiders in Week 6 (4th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Hawes was one of the most ruthlessly efficient tight ends nobody used in 2025, posting a 0.781 EPA per play and a 73.7% success rate while finishing as the TE53. The catch: that came on just 19 targets across 13 games, a 22.7% route share, and a 4% target share. When he was thrown to, he delivered, hauling in 16 of 18 catchable balls at an 84.2% clip for 187 yards, 11.7 per grab, and three scores. The 1.55 yards per route run is real; the opportunity is not.
The profile is a blocking-first TE2 buried behind Dalton Kincaid, and the path to relevance runs entirely through a Kincaid absence. Until the snap count climbs past 44%, the receiving production stays a rounding error. He is an end-of-draft dart and a deep-league injury stash, not a weekly asset, but the efficiency floor means any volume bump would play up fast.
What Drives His Outlook

Jackson Hawes Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Jackson Hawes's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Jackson Hawes projects as an efficient depth TE for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues. His efficiency (1.55 yards per route run, 16th of 82 TEs in 2025) supports that. His route participation (22.7% route participation, 66th of 81 TEs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Jackson Hawes's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Jackson Hawes is the TE107 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth TE territory, waiver-wire material in 12-team leagues.
What is Jackson Hawes's projected role going forward?
Jackson Hawes is TE3 on the depth chart, so a bigger role needs an injury or a change ahead of him.
Will Jackson Hawes get more targets?
Jackson Hawes's targets are holding steady: 0.5 a game over his last two games against 0.3 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Jackson Hawes's fantasy football upside?
Jackson Hawes's upside: his ceiling this season is 0.0 PPR points (Week 1, TE96), his efficiency (1.55 yards per route run, 16th of 82 TEs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Raiders in Week 6 is a top-10 matchup for TEs.
What could hurt Jackson Hawes's fantasy value?
Jackson Hawes's risks: his route participation (22.7% route participation, 66th of 81 TEs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Patriots in Week 4 and the Rams in Week 5 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Jackson Hawes's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 4 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
