Eric Polzin called Tanner Hudson ‘the preseason GOAT’ and urged managers to grab exposure despite Cincinnati’s crowded tight-end room. Mike Gesicki (slot role) and Noah Fant are expected to sit, while Drew Sample will start but play sparingly. Hudson has produced double-digit DraftKings points in five of his last six preseason appearances across multiple franchises, and Polzin expects him to soak up second-half snaps with Jake Browning, who targeted tight ends on 27% of throws last August.
