Hunter Long
TE - Los Angeles Rams
Availability
Hunter Long caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Long served as Colby Parkinson's backup and was mostly uninvolved in the offense. Long only has three catches on the season and is fantasy-irrelevant moving forward.
Hunter Long will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
The Rams acquired Long when they traded Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins, but he won't be able to make his debut with his new team on Sunday. He's been ruled out, and with Cooper Kupp (hamstring) also unavailable to play, the team will have to look to depth players like Brycen Hopkins and Tutu Atwell to get more work against the Seahawks.
Per Field Yates, the Rams have activated TE Hunter Long, one of the two pieces in the Jalen Ramsey trade, off the PUP list.
Fantasy Impact
Long was originally drafted by Miami in the third round in 2021, but the team never gave him a real opportunity behind Mike Gesicki. Long has only managed one career catch, but perhaps the Rams will give him a greater opportunity given the lack of firepower currently on their roster. Long is slated to be the Rams' TE 3 behind Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins.
The Miami Dolphins have selected tight end Hunter Long with the No. 81 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
The Miami Dolphins have added talented tight end Hunter Long to a tight end room that already includes Mike Gesicki. A productive do-it-all tight end from Boston College, Long can function in both the run and passing games. He is an upgrade on Gesicki from a blocking perspective, which is something that should help him see meaningful snaps as a rookie. Still, this is not the best landing spot due to landing on a team that has a more talented starter and enough talent at wideout to mitigate the use of two tight end sets.
