Tanner Hudson Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) was ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Hudson suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Packers and wasn't able to clear concussion protocol on a short week. Fellow tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was also injured during the game and will miss time. Noah Fant and Drew Sample will be lined up for more opportunities, with Fant as likely as the top pass-catching option. Fant has been productive in a limited sample so far this season, hauling in 16 of his 18 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and was listed as a non-participant in practice on Tuesday for the second straight day this week, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Hudson suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and probably isn't going to be cleared in time to face the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. In addition to Hudson, fellow TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) suffered an injury on Sunday and is expected to be out for a while. That will leave Noah Fant as the team's likely top pass-catching tight end for Thursday night's game. Drew Sample and Cam Grandy could also have elevated roles. Fant, a former first-rounder by the Denver Broncos, has been efficient in limited work this year, catching 16 of his 18 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on the team's Monday injury report due to a concussion. Cincinnati has a short week in Week 7 as they prepare to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, so Hudson appears to be at serious risk of being unavailable. The 30-year-old had not recorded a catch in 2025 heading into Week 6. However, in his first game with new Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco, Hudson recorded four catches for 10 yards and a touchdown on five targets. With fellow Cincinnati tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) also questionable to play in Week 7 due to a pectoral injury, Noah Fant could be in line to dominate playing time at the position for the Bengals on Thursday night against Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson will not play in Week 3 against the Vikings, after being listed as a healthy inactive. Hudson has yet to play an offensive snap for the Bengals this season although he was active each week. Instead of Hudson, tight end Cam Grandy will be active, and since he's more of a blocking specialist, that could mean the Bengals are planning to go more run-heavy if the game script allows against the Vikings. Hudson and Grandy are well off the fantasy football radar, but the switch in inactives could indicate a big workload is coming for Chase Brown.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson played well in Thursday's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 30-year-old caught six of eight targets for 62 yards. He also scored twice, finding the end zone off a 12-yard pass from Joe Burrow on the opening drive before capping off his night with another touchdown in the fourth quarter. After making stops in Tampa Bay and New York (Giants) to begin his career, he appeared in 23 regular-season contests for the Bengals in the last two years. While Hudson had a few productive showings during that span, he has never been a consistent fantasy contributor. That's not expected to change in 2025 even if he continues to produce in the team's final two preseason games, considering Cincinnati has Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Noah Fant on the roster. With a loss in the books, the Bengals will look to get on track versus the Washington Commanders on August 18.

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed tight end Tanner Hudson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. In his second year with the Bengals in 2024, Hudson regressed and had only 19 receptions on 23 targets for 154 yards and one touchdown in 11 games while Mike Gesicki was the team's third leading receiver behind wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The 30-year-old missed six weeks with two knee injuries last year, which also didn't help his cause. However, if the Bengals fail to re-sign Mike Gesicki this offseason, Hudson could be primed to be the team's top pass-catching tight end in 2025. Without Gesicki around in 2023, Hudson had the best season of his career, but it only yielded 39 catches for 352 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets in 12 games (one start).

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson is not a viable fantasy option in Week 11 when his team lines up against the Los Angeles Chargers on the road at SoFi Stadium. The seventh-year veteran has seen his usage tick up since rookie TE Erick All Jr (knee) went down for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. In Week 10, Hudson had his best outing of the season when he churned out 42 yards and a touchdown on 6-of-7 receiving against a sieve-like Baltimore Ravens defense. However, he'll have a much more difficult outing this weekend against one of the top defenses in the league. The Chargers are affording opposing tight ends an average of 4.7 fantasy points per outing and are the top scoring defense in the NFL -- letting up just 13.1 points per game. Additionally, the 30-year-old will continue to contend with teammate Mike Gesicki for targets and now has wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) back in the fold, vying for his own share. Hudson is RotoBaller's PPR TE28 ahead of Week 11's outing.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson had 42 yards and a touchdown off six catches in Thursday's loss to the Ravens. With Erick All Jr. (knee) done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, Hudson had a chance to get more involved behind Mike Gesicki. He made the most of his opportunity, although Cincinnati couldn't pull off a win. Hudson easily had his best showing of the season on Thursday. However, the 29-year-old still has more work to do before earning a spot in fantasy lineups moving ahead.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson and wide receiver Trenton Irwin are both healthy scratches for the big Week 5 divisional clash on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Hudson hasn't been active for the Bengals since the Week 1 loss to the New England Patriots, when he caught two of his three targets for 18 yards. For now, he remains well off the fantasy radar in all leagues behind Mike Gesicki, rookie Erick All Jr. and Drew Sample. Irwin is inactive for the second straight week after Tee Higgins returned to the fold for the Bengals in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. In two games in 2024, Irwin has just two receptions on eight targets for 11 yards. The Bengals will roll forward with Ja'Marr Chase, Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, rookie Jermaine Burton and Charlie Jones at the receiver position versus Baltimore.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (knee) is officially inactive for Week 4 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but will ultimately miss his third consecutive contest. Hudson hasn't played since Week 1 when he caught two passes for 18 yards and lost a fumble. Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Erick All have looked solid at the tight end position this year, so even when Hudson is healthy, he might not have much of a role on offense. He should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
