Hayden Hurst hits paydirt for Falcons in loss
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught 4 passes on 5 targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in a 31-27, Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
What It Means:
Hurst hauled in his fourth touchdown of the season and first since Week 6 in the third quarter. He finished a distant third on the team in targets behind Calvin Ridley (14) and Russell Gage (10). It was just the second time Hurst drew at least 5 targets over the last five contests. He may be able to produce more in Week 16 against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that is allowing the sixth-most yards per game to tight ends this season.
Hurst scored 10.1 FanDuel points on Sunday, his best output since Week 6. The Chiefs rank 21st in FanDuel points allowed per game to the tight end position this season.
