Austin Hooper Fantasy

According to NFL Media's Mike Garafolo, the Raiders reached a one-year deal with free-agent tight end Austin Hooper. The contract will pay him $2.75 million, although he'll have a shot to earn $3.5 million. The two-time Pro Bowler has compiled 339 catches for 3,468 yards and 25 touchdowns during his career. However, he struggled in 17 games with the Titans last season, finishing with a career-low two touchdowns. The Raiders moved on from Darren Waller, so Hooper will have a chance to regain his footing in Las Vegas alongside new signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo.

Free-agent tight end Austin Hooper plans to visit with the Las Vegas Raiders. The two-time Pro Bowl tight end hasn't been the same since he signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2020. Hooper was barely used during his time in Cleveland before joining the Tennessee Titans last season. He posted 41 receptions, 444 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts) with the Titans last season. The Raiders have brought in O.J. Howard and now possibly Hooper to replace stud tight end Darren Waller. It's hard to imagine Hooper reviving his career even as the No. 1 tight end in Las Vegas.

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in the 20-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. Tennessee had to win to secure a postseason berth, so their season is over and Hooper's time on the Titans could be over too. Hooper was signed to just a one-year deal and with the emergence of rookie Chigoziem Okonkwo, there's a real chance they let him walk in free agency this off-season. He's worth hanging onto in dynasty to see where he lands, but there's a lot of uncertainty about his future.
