Hudson caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Hudson played just 11 percent of the Bengals' 82 offensive snaps Sunday, a substantial dip in snap share after he averaged a 26 percent snap share over Cincinnati's previous three contests. Operating as the No. 3 tight end behind teammates Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample, Hudson has totaled just 12 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown across seven games this season. The 30-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar after the team's Week 12 bye when the Bengals' host the Steelers on Dec. 1.

Hudson caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Hudson played just 11 percent of the Bengals' 82 offensive snaps Sunday, a substantial dip in snap share after he averaged a 26 percent snap share over Cincinnati's previous three contests. Operating as the No. 3 tight end behind teammates Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample, Hudson has totaled just 12 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown across seven games this season. The 30-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar after the team's Week 12 bye when the Bengals' host the Steelers on Dec. 1.
Hudson brought in six of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. The towering tight end finished third in receptions and receiving yards on the Bengals for the night, and he had two more catches than position mate Mike Gesicki on two fewer targets. Hudson had just recorded his first two catches since Week 1 in Sunday's win over the Raiders, so Thursday's numbers were season highs across the board and included his first touchdown of the campaign on a three-yard grab late in the first half. It's still difficult to trust Hudson's week-to-week involvement considering Gesicki's presence, however, leaving the former with an uncertain fantasy outlook for a Week 11 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 17.
Hudson played 20 of the Bengals' 74 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 14 yards on three targets in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. Hudson recorded his first pair of receptions since Week 1 and benefited from more snaps than usual in part due to rookie tight end Erick All (knee) sustaining what was ultimately determined to be a season-ending ACL tear during the contest. With All out of the mix, Hudson could continue to see a slightly elevated role as the Bengals' No. 2 pass-catching tight end behind Mike Gesicki.
Hudson (knee) failed to draw a target while playing four of the Bengals' 53 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants. Hudson had been inactive for each of the Bengals' previous four games while he managed a knee injury, but he was removed from Cincinnati's injury report for Week 6 and made his return from a month-long absence Sunday. He was one of four tight ends that the Bengals made active Sunday and finished well behind Drew Sample (26 snaps), Erick All (23 snaps) and Mike Gesicki (19 snaps) in terms of playing time.
Hudson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Hudson was a full participant at each practice during Week 5 prep and didn't have an injury designation. However, the reserve tight end will remain sidelined for a fourth straight game due to a lingering knee injury. Tanner McLachlan (coach's decision) is also inactive, so Mike Gesicki, Erick All and Drew Sample are the Bengals' active tight ends versus Baltimore.
Hudson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session. Hudson has been sidelined since Week 1 due to a knee injury, but it appears the 29-year-old will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Ravens. He played 22 snaps (nine on offense, 13 on special teams) and caught two passes (on three targets) for 18 yards in Week 1. It's unclear how Hudson will fit into the offense, especially with backups Erick All and Drew Sample both seeing more snaps than starter Mike Gesicki in Week 4 against the Panthers.
Hudson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers. Hudson hasn't played since Week 1 with the injury, despite being active in Week 2, nor did he practice this week. In his absence, Erick All and Drew Sample will continue to see extra snaps behind Mike Gesicki.
Hudson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Hudson has been sidelined since the Week 1 opener versus New England. In his absence, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and rookie Erick All have claimed tight end duties in Cincinnati. If Hudson is cleared to play Sunday, it's unclear how much action he'll see on offense.
Hudson (knee) did not practice Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Hudson has been sidelined for over a week and wasn't active for their Week 3 loss to the Commanders, and although he was active for Week 2, he never went in the game. The Southern Arkansas product will likely need to get on the practice field Friday in some capacity to have any chance of playing Sunday against the Panthers.
