Target Hurst

Most NFL offenses are 2 WR and 1 TE priority based.  We have a 3 WR - 1 TE priority passing game.  Hurst has been a bright spot and a reliable go to receiver, and his contract makes his play thus far even more appealing.

Again, I really don't give a shit about CJ Uzomah. This is the last time I respond to someone quoting me in this thread and mentioning CJ, because that's not what my point is about, it was never what my point was about, so stop trying to make it about it. This conversation started with talking about extending/re-signing Hurst for 2023 and/or beyond.

Hurst targets by down..
1st: 15
2nd: 18
3rd: 15

Hurst targets by yards to go..
1-3: 8
4-6: 5
7-9: 8
10+: 27

He doesn't average more than 8.5 yards per catch regardless of any of those 7 criteria.

...I don't know if there's many teams at all running 2 WRs/1 TE. They're almost all running 3 WRs/1 TE, or 2 WRs/2 TEs. There's only 3 teams with a FB playing at least 1/3rd of the snaps.
