2022 Hurst
29.7 yards per game
7.7 yards per catch
3.7 YAC per catch
43.5% 1st Down Rate
74.2% catch rate
2021 Uzomah
30.8 yards per game
10.1 yards per catch
6.1 YAC per catch
51.0% 1st Down Rate
77.8% catch rate
Higgins has been hurt so there's been quite a bit more workload available and Hurst hasn't stepped up to even be as good as Uzomah was last year, let alone better. Even with the defenses playing 2 high to take away Chase, there theoretically should be way more room for a TE to work underneath, no?
Seems like Hurst's best play this year is getting 7 yards on 3rd and 10 to bring out the punt team.
CJ had 1 good game against Jacksonville
5 receptions
95 yards
19 y/r
2 TD
The other 5 games he was rather pedestrian
9 receptions
70 yards
7.7 y/r
1 TD
Half those yards came in the Minnesota game. The other 4 he averaged 4.4 y/r
Hayden has 23 receptions vs 13 for CJ last year at the same time. And Hayden has been far more consistent across all of the games than CJ. I’d rather get solid consistent production than a flashy game 1 week and disappearing the next.
Winning makes believers of us all
