Summary
Hunter Long carries a 47.0 dynasty score, ranking 107 at TE. Long’s 2025 season stats indicate a growing role in the Jaguars’ offense, with a 65th percentile usage grade and a 59th percentile durability grade. He enters 2026 at age 27 with one year remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Long’s 2025 season stats (26.5 fantasy points in 9 games) indicate a growing role in the Jaguars’ offense. His usage grade is at the 65th percentile, suggesting he will continue to see increased involvement. However, his efficiency grade is at the 50th percentile, which may not be enough to sustain his production. With one year remaining on his contract, Long’s role security is uncertain.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Hunter Long’s durability grade is at the 59th percentile, which is relatively stable given his age.
Opportunity Notes
Long’s snap share percentage trended up in 2025, with a season average of 33.3% and a Week 5 spike to 60.0%. However, his role is still uncertain due to the presence of other tight ends on the Jaguars roster.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Grant Udinski coordinates the Jaguars’ mcvay_tree spread system, which features a 59.5% shotgun rate and a 65.2% 11 personnel usage. This scheme helps Long’s ceiling by providing him with a steady stream of targets, but his floor is limited by the Jaguars’ inconsistent passing game.
Trend Assessment
Rising. Long’s trend is rising due to his increasing usage and a steady efficiency grade at the 50th percentile.
Ceiling / Floor
Hunter Long’s ceiling is TE2-TE3, which would require him to maintain his current usage and efficiency grades. His floor is TE6-TE7, which would occur if he loses his starting role or sees a significant decrease in targets.
