Falcons' Hayden Hurst (ankle) is expected to play in Week 12
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) is expected to play in the team's Week 12 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
What It Means:
Hurst failed to log a catch in last week's loss to the Saints despite the early departure of wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), but has been heavily utilized in the Falcons offense for most of the season. With Jones possibly sidelined (or at least hampered) for today's game, Hurst could see an uptick in targets from his average of 5.6 per game this season.
Hurst has a $5,500 salary on FanDuel this week and is projected to score 8.1 fantasy points against the Raiders.
