4 years agoCleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Baltimore. Hooper faced an uphill battle to being on the field as he entered the day doubtful to play, but his absence will pave the way for Harrison Bryant to become a touchdown-dependent DFS single-game option. Hooper has had a diminished role in the Cleveland passing game over the past two weeks, having received just two targets in each of those contests. While it's far from a sure thing, should Hooper return in time for a Week 15 matchup against the Giants (which is followed by a meeting with the Jets), he should be in a much more advantageous position to capitalize on being a red zone target. Check back to see how he progresses during the coming week.--Jesse Borek
