Tight Ends seems to be more involved

Hurst had the 15th most targets among TEs last year in just 13 games. He had 17 targets in the 3 playoff games.
Uzomah had the 20th most targets among TEs in 2021. He had 14 targets in the first two playoff games before hurting his knee.

Without Tee and Boyd, expect TEs to get a whole lot more work in 2024 so long as they add a semi-competent starting TE.

I like to see more usage down the field with TEs and a bit more speed, Hurst was nice as a safe outlet but horrible in YAC.. ranked near the bottom of starting TEs last year. I was impressed with Hudson and felt he gave us good upside in YAC
