Austin Hooper Has Good Day Sunday
6 years agoAtlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was Matt Ryan's main target against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Hooper's big day is both a surprise and not a surprise in some ways. On one had the Steelers have been one of the worst teams against tight ends this season. However, Hooper has had a quiet couple of weeks so to see him suddenly have 12 targets is somewhat of a surprise. Hooper pulled in eight of his 12 targets for 77 yards with a long of 23 yards. It will be interesting to see going forward whether he is going to be part of the Falcons offense going forward. For now Hooper remains a tight end who is in the region of the top-10 on a weekly basis, but his value will likely fluctuate massively week-to-week.
