Hayden Hurst Week 7 Outlook - Jaguars at Chargers

It happened again in Week 6. When Julio Jones plays, here are Hurst's numbers: 3/38/0, 5/72/1, 4/51/0, and 4/57/1. He's not getting a whole lot of volume, but he's been much more efficient, as has the whole offense. For whatever reason, teams have avoided throwing to their tight ends against the Lions, as they've seen a crazy-low 12.9 percent target share. It's going to be tough advocating for more usage when they're allowing just a 45.5 percent completion-rate when targeted, which is the lowest number in the league. That has led to them allowing just 6.5 PPR points per game to tight ends as a whole, which is the second-lowest mark in the league. It's a small sample size (22 targets) but based on what we've seen, it's not a great matchup for someone like Hurst, who hasn't seen the volume that some expected. He should be considered a high-end TE2 for this week's game.
