Austin Hooper Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had just four receptions for 34 yards during the Week 2 win over the Eagles. After pulling in all nine of his looks against the Vikings in Week 1, Hooper cooled off and was barely targeted on Sunday night despite quarterback Matt Ryan throwing the ball 43 times. Hooper will attempt to get back on track in Week 3 for a meeting with the Colts. He is a borderline-start.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was one of the team's offensive standouts in Week 1, leading the team in both receptions (nine) and receiving yards (77). He caught all nine of his targets and was second on the team in targets in Week 1, behind only the great Julio Jones, who had 11 targets. Hooper has a good chance to keep the good times rolling in a favorable matchup against a weak Eagles pass defense in Week 2. Expect Hooper to deliver around the same yardage this week, with a strong possibility of scoring his first touchdown of the year. Start him confidently as your TE1.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was one of the team's offensive bright spots on Sunday. Hooper caught all nine of his targets for 77 yards. He was second on the team in targets after Julio Jones, who received 11 targets from Matt Ryan. This is certainly very encouraging for Hooper going forward. If he can be consistently hovering between seven and ten targets in what should be a highly productive offense, he's almost a lock to be a TE1 and will be especially valuable in PPR.
