Summary

Tanner Hudson carries a 66.0 dynasty score, ranking 67 at TE. His 2025 season saw a notable increase in snap share, rising from 0.0% to 26.0%. As he enters his age 31 season with a contract expiration after the 2026 season, Hudson’s future with the Bengals is uncertain.

Projection Rationale

Hudson’s 19/24 target share in 2025 suggests his role is secure, and his 2 TD production indicates he can be an efficient target. He holds a 68th percentile contract grade, implying his role security is somewhat dependent on the Bengals’ cap situation. With 0 years remaining on his contract, Hudson faces a significant question mark about his future with the team.

Injury Risk

Hudson has a clean injury history, with only a Week 7 absence due to a non-participation in practice. His 75th percentile durability grade indicates he is relatively durable, but his age and contract situation raise concerns about his long-term prospects.

Opportunity Notes

Hudson’s snap share trended upward in 2025, rising from 0.0% to 26.0%. His increased role security suggests he will continue to see significant targets in the Bengals’ offense.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Dan Pitcher coordinates a MCVAY_TREE offense with a high shotgun rate, which should suit Hudson’s receiving style. The Bengals’ defensive scheme may limit Hudson’s production, as he is not an elite blocker.

Trend Assessment

Stable Hudson’s snap share trended upward in 2025, but his overall production grade remains in the 40th percentile, indicating a stable, though not spectacular, performance.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: TE2-TE3; Hudson must maintain his current production and secure a larger role for the Bengals to achieve this finish range. Floor: TE4-TE5; if Hudson loses the tight end job or his production declines, he will likely fall to this finish range.
