Falcons' Austin Hooper: Held under 25 yards receiving

Hooper hauled in three of his four targets for 24 yards, as the Falcons fell to the Saints in overtime 43-37 on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion.

The third-year tight end boasts an outstanding catch rate thus far in 2018 -- 11 receptions on 13 targets, or 84.6 percent -- but his touchdown-dependence is a very real inhibitor to his value. Hooper has produced at least 40 yards receiving just six times in his last 19 regular-season games, with touchdowns in all four of those outings. Next week provides hope for Hooper to realize his fantasy upside, facing a Cincinnati secondary that has allowed 7.7 receptions per game to the tight end position (third-most in the NFL).
