In August, I wanted no part of Austin Hooper and called him a Fantasy Football bust multiple times. In November I'm happy to have him back and ranking him as a top-10 tight end. It's been that kind of year.
Part of my change of tune has to do with George Kittle's injury and disappointing performance from Mark Andrews, Hunter Henry, and a host of other tight ends. But I'd be remiss if I didn't give Hooper some credit as well. He saw 23 targets in the three games before he needed surgery to remove his appendix. From Week 4 through Week 6 he was the No. 6 tight end in PPR scoring. There is legitimate hope that Odell Beckham's injury will open up room for Hooper to maintain that volume, or even improve on it.
Dallas Goedert technically returned two weeks ago, but that was hardly the Dallas Goedert we were hoping for. He only saw one target despite playing 53 snaps. For this week, I'm ignoring that in favor of Philadelphia's extensive history of heavily targeting their tight ends. Goedert is close to a must-start this week and I'd start both him and Hooper over Andrews in full PPR.
