Player Notes

May 7, 2009
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that tight end Ben Hartsock has been cleared to return to practice. He has been dealing with an injured toe since November 23 and is expected to participate in mini-camps.

Our View:Hartsock started eight of the first 11 games for the Falcons last season, but he was more of a blocking tight end. He will continue to serve that role, but Tony Gonzalez will eat into his playing time quite a bit. Hartsock has no fantasy value.

November 26, 2008
Ben Hartsock sustained a toe injury in Week 12 against Carolina and the club decided to place him on season-ending injured reserve, according to the Associated Press. The Falcons signed tight end Jason Rader as the adjoining move.

Our View:Hartsock held no fantasy value as a backup tight end.

August 3, 2008
Reports from training camp for the Falcons indicate the tight ends are all but non-existant in terms of targets, noting Ben Hartsock and Martrez Milner are both struggling to show promise as reliable receivers and thus are rarely seeing offensive opportunties in the team's passing offense, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View:This shouldn't be too shocking for fantasy owners, but it certainly reaffirms those that feel a move to avoid fantasy commodities in Atlanta is the right choice for this season. If you have Hartsock as a sleeper to target in deeper leagues, take him off your radar.

March 2, 2008
The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with free agent Ben Hartsock, to replace the departed Alge Crumpler, this according to the Canadian Press. Terms of the deal were not released.

October 28, 2006
The Titans acquired Ben Hartsock off waivers from the Colts on Friday, according to the Indianapolis Star. He'll give the Titans a little depth at tight end after losing Erron Kinney for the season earlier this month.
