Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Long primarily played special teams while sparingly suiting up across his first three NFL seasons, but he saw more action on offense with the Rams last year and caught seven of nine targets for 60 yards. The 2021 third-round pick then joined the Jaguars on a two-year, $5 million deal during the offseason. Long's contract should secure him a place on the season-opening roster, though he isn't likely to have much involvement in the passing game behind presumed starter Brenton Strange. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Jaguars in March of 2025.
Sits out practice Wednesday
Long (hip/knee) is not participating in the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.comreports.
ANALYSIS
Long remains positioned as Jacksonville's incumbent top tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) not expected to come off IR until Week 11 at the earliest. However, due to a tandem of injuries Long's status now also appears uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans. He briefly exited Jacksonville's narrow win over the Raiders in Week 9 as a result of his hip and knee injuries, but managed to retake the field and finish with a 66 percent snap share on offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Acquired in the trade that sent Jalen Ramsey to Miami, the second-year bruiser spent the vast majority of his snaps for the Dolphins as a blocker, and saw just one target over 101 snaps in 2022. Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins are entrenched as the starting tight ends, and the Rams rarely utilized any depth tight ends (29 total snaps outside the starting two tight ends in 2022), which leaves little hope for Long to make much of an impact in Year 3.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bump in targets expected
Long could serve as Jacksonville's top pass-catching tight end after the team placed Brenton Strange on injured reserve Tuesday due to a quadriceps injury.
ANALYSIS
Long and Johnny Mundt are both expected to see additional playing time, but Long has been a much bigger factor in the passing game through five weeks, with seven catches for 44 yards and two touchdowns compared to Mundt's two catches for 14 yards. Long has a nice opportunity to step up immediately in Week 6 against a Seahawks defense that has allowed a league-high 35 receptions to tight ends.
