Logan Paulsen, Luke Stocker Provide Tight End Depth
The Atlanta Falcons brought in free-agent tight ends Logan Paulsen and Luke Stocker during the offseason to provide depth behind Austin Hooper, who is in a contract year. Stocker, who signed a two-year, $5.5 million deal in the offseason, received a $1.5 million signing bonus. He might also see some time at fullback in addition to tight end, but neither is expected to move the needle in terms of fantasy appeal unless disaster strikes Hooper. TE Jaeden Graham has also seen some time at fullback during offseason practices.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (ankle) and tight end Luke Stocker (knee) are both questionable to return in Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday night after suffering injuries. Tennessee's offense is a mess with quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger) inactive going into this must-win game. Sharpe and Stocker both failed to connect on their only targets before exiting. Taylor Lewan and Anthony Firkser should have bigger roles the rest of the way if neither Sharpe nor Stocker return.
