Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons

Austin Hooper was a highly-touted breakout candidate heading into the season, and he showcased his elite upside in Week 1 with 2 catches for 128 yards and a score. He saw just 4 targets in the following two weeks, but has seen 16 targets over the past two weeks, which he has turned into 98 yards.

Hooper could see his role reduced if Mohamed Sanu returns from injury, so keep an eye on his status. However, if Sanu is out or limited, Hooper could be a terrific play against a soft New England Patriots defense. They have given up the 4th-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in the league, and their opponents have targeted tight ends 8.8 times per game against them -- the 2nd-most in the league. Hooper has exciting upside in what should be a high-scoring game.
