Hayden Hurst Hangs up his Cleats

Monday, March 9, 6:12 PM

The Atlanta Falcons announced on Monday that veteran tight end Hayden Hurst is announcing his retirement from professional football. Hurst will hang up his cleats after not being signed with a team during the 2025 season. In his final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers, the 32-year-old caught a career-low eight passes for 73 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets in nine regular-season games. Hurst was originally the 25th overall pick in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018 out of South Carolina. He finishes his seven-year NFL career with 203 receptions (294 targets) for 1,975 yards and 15 touchdowns in 88 regular-season games (41 starts). In addition to the Chargers and Ravens, Hurst suited up with the Atlanta Falcons (two years), Cincinnati Bengals (one year), and Carolina Panthers (one year). He was at his best in 202 in Atlanta, posting a 56-571-6 line in 16 games.

Tucker Kraft News

Tucker Kraft a Post-Injury Buy-Low Candidate

Tuesday, March 24, 6:01 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was on pace for 1,039 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns, having put up two of the best tight end performances of the season before an ACL injury ended his 2025 campaign after eight games. While he may not return immediately to his do-everything (and do it well) form coming off the devastating injury, he'll still only be 25 at the start of the 2026 season and boasts too much talent to think he won't have a shot at working his way back to the top tier of dynasty tight ends. Green Bay allowed Romeo Doubs and his team-leading 83 targets to walk in free agency. Christian Watson comes into 2026 one more year removed from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, and the team is expecting more from their 2025 first-round pick, Matthew Golden, but it should come as no surprise if Kraft is the one regularly leading the team in targets and red zone opportunities by season's end.
