6 years agoAtlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could face a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field on Sunday. Hooper has been reasonably reliable for fantasy owners this week and has managed to have a handful of nice weeks as well. He has become one of Ryan's most trusted targets thanks to an impressive 82.2% catch rate on the season. In addition, the Packers defense has been really good against the tight end at home this season. In games at Lambeau opposing tight ends have allowed an average of 6 fantasy points per game to No.1 TEs and just an average of 8.3 fantasy points to the TE position as a whole. Despite all of that Hooper's safety this season and the inconsistent TE landscape makes him someone you will likely need to start this week.--Ben Rolfe
