Austin Hooper Is A Must-Start In Week 17
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a solid bounce-back game in Week 16 against the Jaguars. He caught seven of his nine targets for 82 yards in the game. This week, Hooper and the Falcons face a vulnerable Buccaneers pass defense and they might be without star receiver Julio Jones (knee) in the game. If Jones sits, Hooper would become essentially a lock for double-digit targets as Jones has 35 targets over the past two games. Even if Jones starts, Hooper should see at least around eight targets in Week 17, giving him a good chance for around six catches for 70 yards and a chance for a score in the game. He's a must-start for league championship matchups and is a solid play in DFS as well.
