Austin Hooper A Viable TE1 Starter In Week 3
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has been heavily utilized by quarterback Matt Ryan so far this year. Through two games, Hooper has been targeted 15 times and has caught 13 of those targets for 111 yards. He's been mostly targeted on short routes. His yards per reception average is only 8.5, making him a more valuable asset in PPR leagues, but he's still start-worthy in non-PPR leagues given his high usage and the lack of depth at the position. Expect him to get at least six targets this week against the Colts with a solid chance to score his first touchdown of the season.
