Tanner Hudson Fantasy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released tight end Tanner Hudson on Monday, according to Adam Schefter. The 26-year-old was making some noise in the preseason, as he posted five receptions for 50 yards on eight targets in the first game and six receptions for 74 yards on seven targets in the second game. Nevertheless, it seemed like a possibility that this could happen given Tampa has three capable tight ends already in Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate. Hudson had five receptions for 67 yards on 12 targets in two seasons with Tampa.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Tanner Hudson led the team with six receptions for 74 yards on seven targets in Saturday's loss to Tennessee. Hudson has been having a great preseason as he also paced the team last week with 46 yards receiving. The TE has left quite an impression this preseason and will look to further impress next week in the preseason finale. Unfortunately, it seems the 26-year-old will be no better than a fourth-stringer in the regular season as he will have to fight with Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate for targets.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Tanner Hudson paced the team with four receptions for 48 yards on seven targets in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bengals. Hudson is now entering his third season in the NFL with Tampa but has only managed five receptions for 67 yards on 12 targets in two seasons thus far. While Hudson's performance was encouraging, it will be hard for the TE to carve out a role for himself heading into the regular season due to more proven TEs like Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate occupying higher spots on the depth chart and thus taking up all the playing time and targets.
