The Atlanta Falcons placed tight end Hayden Hurst on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Hurst typically plays about half of the Falcons' offensive snaps and he has managed to score twice in the last three weeks on five total targets. Lee Smith figures to absorb most of Hurst's playing time in Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills are allowing the third-fewest FanDuel points per game to the tight end position this season.
