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.
A person has to have not watched any Bengals games to think CJ is remotely close to Hurst in the receiving game. Or not understood that Joe made some great calls and excellent plays versus man/single high defenses that were very big for CJ.
The Jets are showing what CJ is and Hayden has made some great catches already. His catch radius is double CJ's.
Now do Chase, has he regressed since last year since his stats are lower?
