Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Football Forecast
Austin Hooper – Tight End
Standard: 11.9 points PPR: 16.9
Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper, had an outstanding game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He caught five passes for 59 yards and a touchdown. Hooper had a much better game than week in one, where he caught only three passes for 24 yards.
Week Three Outlook:
Austin Hooper could be a guy who Ryan looks to in the red zone, after how he produced in week two. However in his four game career against New Orleans, Hooper has been nearly non-existent. He’s caught only four passes for 43 yards and no touchdowns in the series.
If you need a backup tight end, in a deeper league with 12 or more teams, Hooper is worth taking a flyer on. I would advise owners to take a wait and see approach, before inserting Austin into their starting lineup.
