Austin Hooper

Hooper continues to be a key part of the Pats' short-yardage rotations. He worked in tandem with Hunter Henry and caught all of Drake Maye's tight end targets, tallying three catches for 19 yards. He's quietly been productive this season, and ranks in the TE2 mix for Week 18.

Henry had a back-breaking fantasy day, seeing two shaky targets in a blowout loss. After being the Patriots' leading receiver all season long, Henry deals a blow to fantasy managers during championship week as the TE1 floor fell out. Henry splits looks with Austin Hooper and will be a TE2 for Week 18.

Hooper is improbably in line for his third TE1 finish over his last four games, pending the results of Sunday and Monday Night Football. The veteran tight end remains an unsettling TE1 floor play against the Chargers in Week 17.

Hooper finished second on the team in catches and yards. He has at least three catches and 30 yards in five straight games. Hooper has caught every one of his targets since Week 10. The veteran tight end has established as TE2 floor but has no ceiling to speak of as the Patriots' backup tight end.
