Austin Hooper Will Play Sunday
Dec. 14, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (ankle, knee) will play in Week 15 against the Cardinals, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Hooper missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned on Friday, putting him on track to play. Hooper has a decent floor as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 and has four touchdowns on the season. However, he hasn't had more than five catches or 44 yards in any of his last four games, while scoring once in that span.

Austin Hooper Draws Brutal Matchup
Dec. 13, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has caught at least four passes in each of his past five games in what has been a mini-breakout season for him. The young tight end is also dealing with ankle and knee injuries that have kept him from practicing on Wednesday and Thursday. Even if he is able to suit up, Hooper draws a tough assignment in Week 15 against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has done a good job at snuffing out opposing tight ends this season. Arizona is allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to the position in 2018. Normally a low-end TE1, the tough matchup downgrades Hooper into the TE2 range for Week 15. If Hooper is inactive, look for Eric Saubert to draw the start in his place.
Austin Hooper Misses Another Practice
Dec. 13, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (calf, foot, illness) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. It's not looking good for Hooper's status in Week 15 against the Cardinals, and with Logan Paulsen (ankle, knee) also hurt, the team might be down to Eric Saubert this weekend. If that's the case, Saubert shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar. Hooper has a low ceiling but decent floor as a low-end TE1, but he's in serious danger of missing the game against Arizona unless he practices on Friday.

Austin Hooper Has Just 37 Yards Sunday
Dec. 10, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a disappointing fantasy day in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Hooper was targeted six times in the game but could only pull in four of those targets for 37 yards. Hooper has been a touchdown dependent fantasy options this season and being held out of the end zone in this game has meant he will have disappointed for fantasy owners. He was also the player targeted on the pick-six which Matt Ryan threw, but that was more on Ryan so it will not affect Hooper's position in the offense going forward. This game does not really change anything about Hooper's fantasy value rest of season.

Austin Hooper Could Have A Tough Time In Week 14
Dec. 7, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could face a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field on Sunday. Hooper has been reasonably reliable for fantasy owners this week and has managed to have a handful of nice weeks as well. He has become one of Ryan's most trusted targets thanks to an impressive 82.2% catch rate on the season. In addition, the Packers defense has been really good against the tight end at home this season. In games at Lambeau opposing tight ends have allowed an average of 6 fantasy points per game to No.1 TEs and just an average of 8.3 fantasy points to the TE position as a whole. Despite all of that Hooper's safety this season and the inconsistent TE landscape makes him someone you will likely need to start this week.
Austin Hooper Salvages Day With Late Touchdown
Dec. 3, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper managed to turn a poor day into a fairly successful day with a late touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. This is the second time this season that a late game touchdown has made Hooper a success for fantasy owners, underlining just how touchdown-dependent he is. The positive is that as usual Hooper was incredibly good at making the most of his targets. Hooper caught all of his five targets for 41 yards and the touchdown, and he has made himself one of Ryan's most trusted targets with his consistent catching. Hooper will remain right around a top-10 fantasy tight end for most of the remainder of the season.

Austin Hooper Could Have Tough Day In Week 13
Nov. 30, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could be in line for one of his tougher days against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Hooper has had success at times this season and has generally been a safe target for Matt Ryan to find. However, this week he faces a Baltimore Ravens defense allowing an average of just 7.9 fantasy points per game to opposing #1 tight ends. There have been the occasional lapse by the defense to allow tight ends to score points, but generally they have made life tough for the tight end position. It could be argued that Hooper is one of the more talented tight ends the Ravens have had to face this season. However, Hooper hovers just outside the top-10 for me this week and it may be wise to look elsewhere if you have the available options.
Hooper caught all five of his targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 31-17 loss to the Saints.

Austin Hooper Return Disappointing Line
Nov. 23, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a relatively disappointing day for fantasy owners against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday. Hooper caught all five of his targets for 31 yards and was important in moving the chains at times in this game. Hooper has been somewhat of a boom-or-bust tight end based on his ability to find the end zone. However, the promising thing for Hooper's owners is that he is regular seeing somewhere in the region of at least five receptions, so at least he is unlikely to return a game destroying goose egg for your lineup.
Austin Hooper Someone To Avoid In Week 11
Nov. 21, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could be in for a tough week against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. The Saints defense ranks 2nd in the league when it comes to preventing tight ends from scoring fantasy points, and are coming off a game in which even Zach Ertz struggled. In Hooper's first game against the Saints this season he had just 23 yards on three receptions, adding a two point conversion to somewhat salvage his day. Hooper's receiving totals have been extremely up-and-down recently and it could be a tough Thanksgiving for the young tight end. If you have another option this would be a week to go away from Hooper at the tight end position.
Austin Hooper Has Extremely Disappointing Day Sunday
Nov. 18, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had his most disappointing day of the season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Hooper has had other days where he has not put up many yards but his four catches for 27 yards was disappointing for a different reason. Hooper was targeted eight times and was only able to pull in half of those targets. Hooper had been superb this season in terms of converting targets into receptions, and therefore this game will disappoint him as much as it will his fantasy owners. The positive is that Hooper saw the second most targets in the offense this week and is a big part of what the Falcons look to do on offense.

Austin Hooper Could Have Success Once Again In Week 11
Nov. 15, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could have another successful week against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Hooper is coming off an 11 target, 10 catch performance in which he had 56 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. This week Hooper matches up against a defense which allows an average of 5.9 receptions, 56.8 yards and 0.4 touchdowns per game. While those numbers are nothing special they should be enough to place Hooper somewhere in the region of a top-10 tight end in Week 11.
Austin Hooper Has A Good Performance In Cleveland
Nov. 11, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had an impressive performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. Hooper was targeted a team high 11 times in this game and he pulled in 10 of them for 56 yards and a touchdown. Hooper has been extremely reliable this season, catching 46 of his 55 targets, providing Matt Ryan with another target he can trust implicitly. The issue is that even on a day like today Hooper needed his touchdown to have real fantasy relevance in non-PPR leagues. However, averaging over six targets per game, Hooper has become one of the more targeted tight ends outside of the big names this season, and has made himself a borderline start every single week.
Hooper caught 10 of 11 targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Browns.

Austin Hooper A Borderline Play In Week 10
Nov. 9, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will be hoping to bounce back from a couple of tough weeks when he faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. In the last two weeks Hooper has averaged just 44.5 yards and three receptions, also failing to find the end zone. However, the previous two matchups have been against teams who have done well against the tight end this season. This week Hooper faces a team who rank ninth in the most fantasy points surrendered to tight ends. However, with all of the receiving options in this offense healthy and Tevin Coleman seeing a bigger role last week it is unclear how many targets there will be available for Hooper. Therefore, Hooper remains a borderline play in 10- or 12- team leagues heading into this matchup.

Austin Hooper Has Unremarkable Day Sunday
Nov. 4, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had an unspectacular day against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Hooper caught all three of his targets for 41 yards, including a longest reception of 23 yards. Hooper's success this season has come against teams with problems covering the tight end and the Redskins have not been one of them. Therefore, it is unsurprising that he struggled to make a real impact in this game. The good news is that if you did start Hooper you at least got a handful of points in both standard and PPR leagues. This is essentially the floor most weeks for Hooper with the majority of his upside in his ability to score touchdowns.
Austin Hooper Could Struggle In Week 9
Nov. 2, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could be in line for a tough day against the Washington Redskins in Week 9. The Redskins rank 21st in terms of fantasy points surrendered to tight ends, with opponents scoring an average of just 9.17 fantasy points. Hooper had two nice outings in Week 5 & 6, but both of those came against extremely bad defenses when facing the tight end. In Week 7, he faced a defense in the New York Giants who are slightly better against the tight end than the Redskins and he had just 48 yards on three receptions. Those numbers are not a good sign for Hooper this week and if you can avoid starting him then Hooper should be on your bench this week.
Austin Hooper Fails To Find End Zone Monday
Oct. 23, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was not able to find the end zone against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The Falcons tight end managed to catch three of his four targets for 48 yards, meaning he was not a complete dud for fantasy owners. However, Hooper's value generally lies in touchdown catches and he was close to having one in this game. Hooper used his body well to get an advantage of the covering corner but Matt Ryan's pass was behind the tight end, and he was unable to pull it in for what would have been a certain touchdown. Coming out of the bye week Hooper will remain a tight end who hovers around the top-10 for fantasy owners. However, without a great matchup he is going to need a touchdown to make the top-10.

Austin Hooper Faces Tougher Test In Week 7
Oct. 19, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will face a much tougher test in the Falcons Week 7 game against the New York Giants on Monday. Hooper has faced the worst two defenses in the league in terms of defending the tight end the last two weeks. In those two games he has racked up 18 receptions on 22 targets for 148 yards and a touchdown. However, this week he faces a Giants defense who rank top-10 against the tight end when it comes to the least amount of fantasy points allowed to the position. In Hooper's favor is the fact that Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley are banged up meaning that Ryan may need to look his way often on Monday.
Austin Hooper Has Another Big Day Sunday
Oct. 15, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper made it back-to-back impressive weeks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Hooper backed up his impressive Week 5 performance against the Steelers with a nine catch, 71 yard performance against the Buccaneers. Hooper and Matt Ryan only failed to connect on one target as Hooper demonstrated his reliability to this team. Hooper also caught a touchdown, using some impressive footwork to make a defender miss before walking into the end zone. It will be interesting to see how Hooper copes against a team tougher against the tight end, after facing the worst two teams the last two weeks. However, question marks over the health of Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu could mean Hooper remains a big part of the offense in Week 7.

Austin Hooper Has A Shot At Another Big Week Sunday
Oct. 12, 2018
.Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has the chance to put up a second big week in a row against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday. Hooper faced the second worst team against the tight end last week and caught nine of his 12 targets for 77 yards. This week he faces the worst team against tight ends when it comes to fantasy points allowed. I also expect the Falcons to see more time in the red zone this week and for Hooper to get at least a couple of the targets down there. Hooper is not a must-start tight end if you have one of the safer options, but he should be started in most leagues this week. He also makes for an interesting DFS play Sunday.
Hooper collected nine of 12 targets for 77 yards during Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Steelers.
