Depth tight end trying to stick with the Patriots.
Hartsock is known for his blocking and will backup Greg Olsen at tight end.
Will primarily be used as a run blocker, with Greg Olsen getting most of the looks in the passing game from the tight end spot.
Hartsock will be primarily used as a blocking tight end, especially with Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey ahead of him on the depth chart.
He's a blocking tight end and the Jets have a wealth of pass-catchers at all positions, so it's doubtful Hartsock will do much for fantasy owners. Even if Dustin Keller winds up getting hurt, don't bother looking for Hartsock during the thin bye weeks.
With Tony Gonzalez on the team, Hartsock is nearly irrelevant on passing plays, as if he ever was to begin with.
Hartsock is no Alge Crumpler, but being the new Falcons' starting tight end will likely get him more grabs than the 12 he made last season. The team has made it very clear they're going to run the ball a lot this season, and blocking is Hartsock's biggest strength.
Hartsock will be a reserve tight end for the Titans. His strength appears to be his run blocking. Hartsock played in six games with the Titans and started three games. Hartsock went on to record a career-high six receptions for 68 yards.
A third-string blocking tight end with minimal fantasy value.
Blocking tight end who will compete for the No. 2 job this summer, but still likely won't get many balls thrown his way.
Third TE who will mostly block.
