TedHurst III

News: 3 days agoHurst caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Bengals.

Spin: With Jalen McMillan (knee) inactive, Hurst played 75 percent of the offensive snaps against Cincinnati and ran 30 routes on Baker Mayfield's 36 dropbacks. Hurst's three targets were fifth on the team. McMillan's injury isn't expected to keep him out long, so Hurst will be competing for playing time once everyone is healthy. Hurst is merely someone to watch on the waiver wire in normal-sized redraft fantasy leagues.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hurst was selected by the Buccaneers in the third round of April's draft. Granted he played at a small school, but Hurst ranked third in this rookie class target share (26%) and first in air yard share (45%) during his FBS career. A tall, vertical receiver, Hurst posted solid collegiate efficiency despite inconsistent QB play (only 68% of his 235 FBS targets were catchable, which is easily lowest among qualified WRs in this class). His 135-inch broad jump was best among wide receivers at the combine. Hurst will get some run at 'X' receiver as a rookie, but he's a longshot for consistent rookie-season fantasy production with Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan in the fold.
