30-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Cincinnati Bengals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hudson appeared in only 12 games last season but still wound up leading all Bengals tight ends in targets (50), catches (39) and receiving yards (352). While the 29-year-old tight end was a nice story in 2023, Hudson had just 199 career receiving yards heading into the season and began the year on Cincinnati’s practice squad before being promoted due to poor play from the team’s alternative options at the position. The Bengals signed Mike Gesicki in the offseason, and Gesicki figures to beat out Hudson for opportunities in passing situations, while Drew Sample’s a better blocker than either of them. If Gesicki underperforms like the Bengals’ tight ends did last season, Hudson could get another chance to step up. Read Past Outlooks

Targeted twice against Chargers
TECincinnati Bengals
November 20, 2024
Hudson caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Hudson played just 11 percent of the Bengals' 82 offensive snaps Sunday, a substantial dip in snap share after he averaged a 26 percent snap share over Cincinnati's previous three contests. Operating as the No. 3 tight end behind teammates Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample, Hudson has totaled just 12 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown across seven games this season. The 30-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar after the team's Week 12 bye when the Bengals' host the Steelers on Dec. 1.

Joins weak Bengals TE room
TECincinnati Bengals
November 1, 2023
Hudson was signed to Cincinnati's active roster off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Hudson has a chance to become the top pass-catching tight end for Joe Burrow, as Irv Smith has struggled this season and lost a fumble in Cincinnati's Week 8 win over San Francisco. The Bengals elevated Hudson from the practice squad Weeks 3 and 4 while Smith dealt with a hamstring injury, and Hudson's 30 receiving yards in Week 3 are more than Smith has had in any game this season.
