Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Austin Hooper caught all five of his targets in Atlanta's Week 8 points bonanza against the Packers after Jacob Tamme went down with a shoulder injury, and while Tamme's injury isn't considered serious, he's still a longshot to play on Thursday night as Atlanta has a quick turnaround against the Bucs. Hooper has actually caught all 11 of his targets thus far this season, but simply hasn't been utilized much. Those looking for a deeper TE or flex play on this treacherous bye week could give Hooper a twirl, but do note the Bucs actually entered Week 8 as the fourth best team against the TE according to the DVOA metric.
