All Davis Mattek insights about Ted Hurst
NegativeValueOct 29, 2026
Ted Hurst is priced at $3,800 in Week 8 DFS after a small price increase from the prior week, where he appeared in every projected optimal lineup. However, Davis Mattek explicitly prefers Jacobe Lane over Hurst as a tight end play, indicating better value or upside at Lane's price point.PositiveValueOct 29, 2026
Ted Hurst was 31% owned in the 150-million-dollar contest last week but is still priced at $3,800. Davis Mattek views last week's performance as a fluke outlier and is ready to play Hurst again in this spot, expecting recency bias to suppress ownership. Target share projection moves to approximately 19% if Igbokwe doesn't play, creating value at his current salary.PositiveValueOct 26, 2026
Ted Hurst is noted as a player probably better drafters were drafting, suggesting he may have been undervalued or targeted by more sophisticated fantasy players.NegativeProjectionOct 26, 2026
Ted Hurst was thrust into a big projection due to Tampa Bay's game circumstances, but projections between Hurst and Tez Johnson were described as a total guess because the Buccaneers' offensive configuration with Baker Mayfield at quarterback had never been seen before; snap counts were skewed by game script (up by a billion). Hurst was played at zero percent ownership in DFS and scored zero points; he was designated as the emergency wide receiver for Tampa Bay, information that was not reported beforehand. The source thought Hurst was set up for the role but acknowledges the Buccaneers game was wonky and doesn't want to take losses on that game.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026
