Week 9 Ted Hurst III Fantasy Start or Sit 2026

Should you start or sit Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears? PFN's Kyle Soppe examines Hurst's fantasy football outlook as Tampa Bay prepares to face an improving Chicago defense. Hurst showed flashes of big-play potential earlier in the season, but his receiving opportunities have declined significantly. He has gone two consecutive games without a reception and received no more than one target in three of his previous four contests. With Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin competing for targets, along with questions about Baker Mayfield's health, Tampa Bay's passing attack presents considerable uncertainty. Can Hurst regain a meaningful role in the offense? Will the matchup against Chicago provide an opportunity for improvement? Soppe breaks down Hurst's recent usage, the Buccaneers' offensive situation, and his Week 9 fantasy outlook.
