• Patriots' Austin Hooper: Three catches Sunday

  20H ago • By RotoWire

  Hooper caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Cardinals. Hooper was on the field for 31 of a possible 51 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, while fellow tight end Hunter Henry logged 41 snaps and caught all four of his targets for 25 yards. Though he continues to work in a timeshare with Henry, Hooper has managed to catch three or four passes in each of his last five games, giving him a modest but reliable fantasy floor in deeper/TE-friendly formats.

• Patriots' Austin Hooper: Finds end zone again Sunday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Hooper, who was on the field for 36 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught all of four his targets in the contest for 42 yards and a TD. Fellow tight end Hunter Henry (56 snaps) caught seven of his nine targets Sunday for a team-high 75 yards, but Hooper still managed to make his mark by logging his third straight four-catch effort and scoring for the second consecutive week. The Patriots are on bye in Week 14, but Hooper's recent string of production makes him worthy of lineup consideration in deeper formats during the team's stretch run.

• Patriots' Austin Hooper: Scores TD in productive showing

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Hooper secured all four targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. The veteran tight end continued to display impressive chemistry with rookie quarterback Drake Maye, pushing his receiving line over the last three games to a solid 11-158-1 with Sunday's production. Hooper recorded his second touchdown of the season via a 38-yard grab in the fourth quarter, and given his current trajectory, he appears headed to his most productive body of work as a receiver since possibly his first of two seasons in Cleveland back in 2020, when he recorded 46 receptions for 435 yards and four touchdowns over 13 regular-season games.

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Hooper (neck) has been removed from the Patriots' Week 12 injury report. Hooper was limited at practice Wednesday, but with his removal from the injury report a day later, the tight end has been cleared to face Miami on Sunday. Though Hooper works in a time share that favors fellow TE Hunter Henry, he's recorded 3-4 catches in four of his last five contests, a pace that puts him on the radar in deeper formats, especially with six teams on bye this week.
