2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Hunter Long in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a four-year, $4.97 million contract with the Dolphins in July of 2021. Traded to the Rams in March of 2023.
Makes pair of catches
TELos Angeles Rams
December 13, 2024
Long secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 12-6 victory against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The two catches by Long were his first since Week 9, despite averaging 19 snaps per game in the five contests between catches. The three-man rotation at tight end is likely to add a fourth name to that list next week as Tyler Higbee (knee) is likely to return, which will almost certainly depress Long and Davis Allen's already meager snap counts even more.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Acquired in the trade that sent Jalen Ramsey to Miami, the second-year bruiser spent the vast majority of his snaps for the Dolphins as a blocker, and saw just one target over 101 snaps in 2022. Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins are entrenched as the starting tight ends, and the Rams rarely utilized any depth tight ends (29 total snaps outside the starting two tight ends in 2022), which leaves little hope for Long to make much of an impact in Year 3.
To say Long underwhelmed as a rookie would be an understatement, as the 2021 third-round pick managed just one eight-yard catch in seven appearances. It's important to note the context that Long suffered a serious injury in training camp, and that tight ends often fail to produce as rookies even when healthy. Still, with Mike Gesicki an Durham Smythe both having re-signed, Long's path to a role Year 2 remains unclear.
Tight ends are rarely productive as rookies, and Long may have little opportunity in 2021 behind clear No. 1 option Mike Gesicki. However, Gesicki and No. 2 option Durham Smythe are both entering the final year of their rookie deals. After impressing as a receiver at Boston College, Long could see significant future opportunity if Gesicki isn't signed long-term.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Jaguars
TEFree Agent
April 30, 2021
In his 2021 Day Two draft projection, Steve Muench of Scouts Inc. suggests that the Jaguars could take Long 45th overall.
ANALYSIS
The Jaguars declined Tyler Eifert's contract option and could use a another pass-catching option at tight end to bolster the supporting cast of top overall pick, QB Trevor Lawrence. Per Muench, Long, a Boston College product, "has the speed and frame to make plays down the seam, plus he has some upside as an open-field runner after the catch."
