News

  • Back to practice squad

    Hesse reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Hesse made his third appearance with the Falcons' active roster in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets, failing to record a stat while playing 30 total snaps, including 18 with with the offensive unit. The tight end will now wait for his next opportunity to appear in game, which could come in Week 14 versus Tampa Bay.

  • Joins active roster

    The Falcons elevated Hesse to their active roster Saturday, Scott Balr of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old tight end is in line to make his third appearance of Atlanta's 2023 campaign this Sunday. Over the course of his three-year NFL career, Hesse has appeared in 27 games (all with the Falcons), catching 14 of his 17 targets for 132 yards.

  • Back to practice squad

    Hesse reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Hesse appeared in a game for the first time since recovering from an undisclosed injury when he suited up versus the Saints in Week 12. The 28-year-old played 23 offensive snaps, the second most of any tight end on the team, but he didn't record any stats.

  • Elevated for Sunday

    The Falcons elevated Hesse to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse was restored to the Falcons' practice squad Monday after being placed on the injured list Oct. 3 with an undisclosed injury. His one appearance came in the season opener, when he played 14 snaps and recorded one solo tackle against the Panthers.

  • Can return to practice

    Hesse (undisclosed) was restored to the Falcons' practice squad from the practice squad injured list Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse will be able to practice with the team after being out of action since Oct. 3. The Iowa product suited up for the team's Week 1 game against the Panthers, and now that he's healthy again, he'll work to find his way back to the active roster after appearing in all 17 games for Atlanta last season.

  • On practice squad injured list

    Atlanta placed Hesse (undisclosed) on its practice squad injured list Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: In a corresponding move, wide receiver Frank Darby was signed to the practice squad. It's not clear what type of injury Hesse is dealing with at this point.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Hesse reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Hesse will return to the practice squad after playing 14 snaps (seven offensive) and logging a tackle in punt coverage during the Week 1 win over the Panthers. The 28-year-old will be on standby for another opportunity to move up to the active roster.

  • One tackle in season opener

    Hesse played 14 snaps (seven offensive) and recorded one solo tackle during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hesse was elevated from the practice squad for Week 1 but garnered a marginal role, and his only noteworthy play was thwarted by a horse-collar tackle on special teams. Coach Arthur Smith loves to have as many tight ends on the field as possible, but Hesse doesn't hold much fantasy value at this point.

  • Elevated for Week 1

    The Falcons have elevated Hesse to their active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hesse re-joined the Falcons on their practice squad Aug. 30 after being cut by the team at the end of the preseason. He'll provide added depth at tight end behind Kyle Pitts, Jonnu Smith, MyCole Pruitt and John FitzPatrick.

  • Joins practice squad

    Hesse signed with the Falcons' practice squad Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday but is back with the organization a day later after clearing waivers. If the Falcons need additional depth at tight end at some point in 2023, Hesse could be elevated to the active roster.

  • Re-signs with Falcons

    Atlanta re-signed Hesse as an exclusive rights free agent Friday.

    Analysis: Hesse played an important blocking role across 17 games with the Falcons in 2022, while also catching nine of 11 targets for 89 yards. The expectation is that Kyle Pitts (knee) will be back to full health well ahead of the 2023 season and operate as the clear lead receiving option in Atlanta's tight end room. Even while Pitts was sidelined in 2022, Hesse never managed to emerge as a viable fantasy option.

  • Minor role in passing attack

    Hesse caught nine of 11 targets for 89 yards across 17 appearances during the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: Hesse operated as the Falcons' No. 1 tight end, even when Kyle Pitts (knee) was healthy, but the former was nearly exclusively utilized as a blocker. The undrafted product out of Iowa will be a free agent this offseason, but given how many offensive snaps (619) he played in 2022, Hesse figures to be a likely candidate to re-sign with Atlanta this offseason.

  • One reception in loss

    Hesse secured his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss versus the Steelers.

    Analysis: With Kyle Pitts (knee) out, Hesse (34) operated as the No. 1 tight end again, but MyCole Pruitt (27) and Anthony Firkser (14) also garnered solid roles. All three tight ends caught a pass for a second straight week, but Pruitt secured Marcus Mariota's lone touchdown, while Firkser caught two passes and finished second on the team in receiving yards (24). The trio figures to garner similar roles during the remainder of the regular season, but Atlanta's passing attack remains limited due to…read more

  • Operates as top TE sans Pitts

    Hesse caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 19-13 loss versus the Commanders.

    Analysis: With Kyle Pitts (knee) out, Hesse played 35 offensive snaps, which put him as the top tight end over MyCole Pruitt (32) and Anthony Firkser (22). However, as expected, Hesse wasn't heavily involved in Atlanta's passing attack. MyCole Pruitt will likely emerge as the top pass-catching tight end in Pitts' absence, but Atlanta's passing attack remains limited due to Arthur Smith's run-first mindset.

  • In line for more snaps

    Hesse will be among the group of players who are asked to step up in the absence of Kyle Pitts (knee), Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: He's played over 60 percent of the team's offensive snaps on eight occasions this season, second only to Pitts among Atlanta's tight ends. However, Hesse has caught just five of six targets for 50 yards. He figures to operate as the Falcons' No. 1 tight end in Pitts' absence, but he's unlikely to see a major change in his statistical output, as he mostly operates as a blocker.

  • First catch since Week 5

    Hesse hauled in his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 37-34 overtime victory versus Carolina.

    Analysis: Hesse played a season-low 43 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps, but he secured his only target for nine yards, marking his first reception since Week 5. Across eight appearances, the second-year tight end has caught five of six targets for 50 yards, which eclipses his 43 receiving yards from his rookie campaign. Regardless, Hesse's primary role for the Falcons is as a blocker, so expect his receptions to continue being few and far between.

  • Operates as top TE sans Pitts

    Hesse caught his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 21-15 defeat against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Due to his blocking prowess, Hesse continues to garner a major role for Atlanta's offense and played 38 offensive snaps against Tampa Bay, by far the most among Falcons tight ends. Even when Kyle Pitts (hamstring) was healthy, Hesse was garnering a similar role, but Hesse doesn't have the pass-catching ability that Pitts possesses. Hesse has secured one catch in four of five games this season, totaling just 41 yards.

  • Catches only target in win

    Hesse secured his only target for 22 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Hesse's lone reception came on the team's second offensive possession and set up a 13-yard touchdown run by Cordarrelle Patterson. The backup tight end actually out-snapped Kyle Pitts 48 to 34 as Atlanta leaned on its run game in the second half. That trend is unlikely to continue, but it does show the confidence the Falcons have in Hesse as a run blocker. Across four games, Hesse has caught three of four targets for 32 yards while playing over 60 percent of the team's offensive snaps in each…read more

  • Meager production in loss

    Hesse caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 27-26 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Hesse played 48 offensive snaps, but he failed to make a major statistical impact. As expected, he operated mostly as an in-line tight end, while Kyle Pitts lined up primarily as a wideout. Hesse is expected to continue garnering heavy snap workloads, but it's unlikely to translate to consistent fantasy production.

  • Makes roster as backup TE

    Hesse is listed as the No. 2 tight end on the Falcons' unofficial depth chart ahead of Week 1, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse beat out MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser for the top backup spot behind superstar tight end Kyle Pitts. Hesse, an undrafted free agent out of Iowa, made his NFL debut last year and appeared in eight games as a rookie, catching five of six targets for 43 yards. He'll likely have an expanded role in Year 2, especially given the other two tight ends on the initial roster -- Pitts and converted quarterback Feleipe Franks -- don't operate in traditional in-line roles.

  • Catches touchdown Friday

    Hesse caught one of two targets for one yard and a touchdown during Friday's preseason contest against the Lions.

    Analysis: Hesse operated as the top backup tight end behind Kyle Pitts and Anthony Firkser, and totaled 27 snaps (22 offensive). His touchdown came in the second quarter and was rookie Desmond Ridder's first touchdown in NFL action. Hesse appeared in eight games for Atlanta last year and caught five of six targets for 43 yards. The undrafted tight end out of Iowa figures to garner a similar role in 2022, but he faces stiff training camp competition from veteran MyCole Pruitt and training-camp darling…read more

  • Done in Tennessee

    The Titans waived Hesse on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse spent time on the Titans' practice squad last season. He's still vying for an opportunity to make his NFL debut, for which a depth role will need to be sought elsewhere in the league.

  • Lands future deal

    Hesse signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse will spend the offseason program and training camp with the Titans in hopes of securing a depth role in 2021. The Iowa product didn't play an NFL game over his first two seasons in the league.

  • Back with Titans

    The Titans signed Hesse to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse spent the offseason with the Titans and couldn't secure a roster spot, but he's back with the team to work on the scout team and add depth at tight end, which is especially important since Jonnu Smith is dealing with an ankle injury.

  • Cut by Titans

    The Titans released Hesse on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Hesse was also a part of Tennessee's roster during the 2019 offseason, but he ultimately failed to make the 53-man roster. He'll be free to search for a shot at a depth tight-end job elsewhere.
