Austin Hooper Draws Brutal Matchup
6 years agoAtlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has caught at least four passes in each of his past five games in what has been a mini-breakout season for him. The young tight end is also dealing with ankle and knee injuries that have kept him from practicing on Wednesday and Thursday. Even if he is able to suit up, Hooper draws a tough assignment in Week 15 against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has done a good job at snuffing out opposing tight ends this season. Arizona is allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to the position in 2018. Normally a low-end TE1, the tough matchup downgrades Hooper into the TE2 range for Week 15. If Hooper is inactive, look for Eric Saubert to draw the start in his place.
