Malik Hooker Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker (knee) will have surgery on Tuesday to trim his torn meniscus and will likely miss four to six weeks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a big loss for Indy's defense moving forward and will make them a less attractive streaming option in Week 4 at home against the Raiders. Hooker has yet to play a full season after being the 15th overall pick in 2017. He played in just seven games his rookie season due to injury and 14 total games in 2018.

Indianapolis Colts starting free safety Malik Hooker (hip) is expected to miss this week's game against the Tennessee Titans. Hooker has been dealing with the injury since their Week 7 win over the Buffalo Bills. He was able to return last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing a game against the Oakland Raiders and having the bye to rest up. After not practicing all week, the Colts are choosing to hold him out in hopes that he will be ready to go for next week's game. His play-making will be missed on the back end, and it's likely that Mike Mitchell will start in his place this week.

The Indianapolis Colts got a steal in safety Malik Hooker at 15th overall in the 2017 NFL draft. He was poised for a push at the Rookie Of the Year before a torn ACL cut his season short. In less than 10 months time, he looks ready to continue that quest up the safety ranks. His speed and athleticism make him a turnover threat on the back level of the defense. On a defense that could spend a decent amount of time on the field, Hooker could be a major threat to cause a lot of headaches for opposing quarterbacks and coaches.
