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

Long (hip/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
After missing every practice before sitting out this past Sunday in Houston due to hip and knee injuries, Long returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and maintained that activity level Friday before the Jaguars made a ruling on his status for Week 11. With Brenton Strange (hip), who was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, also not cleared to play Sunday, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris are the available options at tight end on Jacksonville's active roster.

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.
To say Long underwhelmed as a rookie would be an understatement, as the 2021 third-round pick managed just one eight-yard catch in seven appearances. It's important to note the context that Long suffered a serious injury in training camp, and that tight ends often fail to produce as rookies even when healthy. Still, with Mike Gesicki an Durham Smythe both having re-signed, Long's path to a role Year 2 remains unclear.
Tight ends are rarely productive as rookies, and Long may have little opportunity in 2021 behind clear No. 1 option Mike Gesicki. However, Gesicki and No. 2 option Durham Smythe are both entering the final year of their rookie deals. After impressing as a receiver at Boston College, Long could see significant future opportunity if Gesicki isn't signed long-term.

Sitting out Week 11
TEJacksonville Jaguars
November 14, 2025
Long has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Chargers due to hip and knee injuries, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Long will miss a second consecutive opportunity to operate as the Jaguars' top tight end, as he also sat out the Week 10 loss to the Texans. Brenton Strange, who's been on injured reserve since Oct. 7 due to hip and quadriceps injuries, was designated for return Wednesday and could be back from a Week 12 road matchup against the Cardinals, so Long's absence this coming Sunday may cost him his final opportunity to operate as a starter this season.
