Hunter Long Fantasy

Miami Dolphins tight end Hunter Long (knee) was able to return to the practice field on Thursday. He was carted off the field a few weeks ago after getting shoved while making a catch out of bounds. Surprisingly, Long returned on Thursday and was doing team drills in front of reporters. The third round pick finished with 57 receptions during his final season at Boston College. Everyone knows that Mike Gesicki is the top tight end in Miami. However, it's certainly open to debate who is going to be starting alongside him. Long isn't someone that needs to be drafted right now. Although, his status should be monitored as he could quickly become an asset in fantasy leagues if the preseason goes well for him.

Miami Dolphins tight end Hunter Long has signed a four-year deal with the organization. That means, the Dolphins have only one draft pick left unsigned as they begin training camp. Long is a third-round pick of the Dolphins who put together 57 receptions during his final season at Boston College. He could develop into a starter, but should be a reliable blocker. It's uncertain if Mike Gesicki is in the Dolphins future plans with no extension in sight. Long probably won't fill up the stat sheet, but could be a low-risk stash in dynasty leagues.

With the 81st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins have selected Boston College tight end Hunter Long. Long had 57 catches for 685 yards and five touchdowns last season and was one of the top receiving tight ends in college football. But the Dolphins already have Mike Gesicki at tight end, making this a bit of a strange fit for Long. Still, he's an underrated blocker who can help them move the chains. That's not a great profile when it comes to fantasy, but Long will have a nice impact on this Dolphins team, even if it doesn't necessarily show up on the stat sheet.
