Hayden Hurst is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for tight ends. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The jury is out on how well Carolina’s offense will do this year with rookie phenom Bryce Young at the helm, but offseason addition Hayden Hurst got off to an encouraging start with his new team in the 2023 season opener against Atlanta.
He led Panthers pass catchers with five receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Hurst should continue to produce as long as the average - and often-injured - wideout pair of D.J. Chark and Adam Thielen is all he has to contend with target-wise.
His expected volume, and injuries to tight-end stalwarts such as Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews, put Hurst on the low-TE1 borderline. Though a Week 2 matchup against the Saints is a tough one, he should remain on fantasy radars for the foreseeable future.
