Patriots' Austin Hooper: Held without a catch Monday
Hooper was on the field for 25 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
In the process, Hooper, who caught three of his four targets for 39 yards the Patriots' Week 12 win over the Bengals, did not record a target in the contest, while fellow TE Hunter Henry (49 snaps) brought in four of six targets for 73 yards. Hooper heads into his team's bye week with a 16/213/1 receiving line on 19 targets in 12 games, a rate of production that limits his fantasy viability to the deepest of formats.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Three catches against Bengals
Hooper caught three of his four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.
During a game in which the Patriots' TEs were more of a focal point than usual, Hunter Henry recorded seven catches for 115 yards and a TD on 10 targets, while none of the team's WRs had more than two catches. As next Monday's game against the Giants approaches, Hooper's fantasy value remains modest with Henry as the clear top option for Drake Maye at tight end.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Cleared to face weak Bengals D
Hooper (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Hooper practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday after a limited session Wednesday, and he has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Hunter Henry remains New England's top pass catcher among tight ends. but Hooper could find success against a Bengals defense that has been by far the worst in the league at defending the position, allowing a league-high 80.8 receiving yards per game to tight ends, as well as 12 touchdowns to the position in 10 games.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Practices in full Thursday
Hooper (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Hooper missed Week 11 while in the concussion protocol, but he's now trending toward a return for Sunday's road matchup against the Bengals. Of course, Hooper will need to gain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, before retaking the field. If active for Sunday's game, Hooper will handle No. 2 tight end reps behind Hunter Henry.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Limited in practice Wednesday
Hooper (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
After missing the Patriots' Week 11 win over the Jets while working his way through the concussion protocol, Hooper's return to practice as a limited participant represents a tangible step in the right direction. The tight end will need to upgrade to full participation Thursday and/or Friday and receive clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Bengals, however. If available Sunday, Hooper will resume working as the top backup to Hunter Henry.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Ruled out for Thursday
Hooper (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets.
Hooper unsurprisingly didn't practice on a short week after suffering a concussion during Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. The Patriots likely will elevate Thomas Odukoya or CJ Dippre from the practice squad before Thursday night, with Hooper's absence potentially also leaving a few more snaps for FB Jack Westover or New England's WRs.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Sitting out Tuesday's practice
Hooper (concussion) isn't in attendance for Tuesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Though the Patriots aren't expected to hold a rigorous practice Tuesday, the fact that Hooper hasn't even been seen working out off to the side suggests he's not likely to suit up Thursday against the Jets. Assuming the veteran tight end is ruled out for the Week 11 contest, the Patriots could have fullback Jack Westover serve as the main backup to starting TE Hunter Henry. New England could also elevate one of Thomas Odukoya or CJ Dippre from the practice squad.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: No catches in Week 10
Hooper didn't recorded a catch (on one target) in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Buccaneers.
Hooper was on the field for 34 of a possible 61 snaps on offense Sunday, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, while fellow TE Hunter Henry logged 53 snaps and one catch for nine yards on four targets. As long as he works in a timeshare that tilts in Henry's favor, Hooper is off the fantasy lineup radar in all but the deepest of formats.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Diagnosed with concussion
Hooper (concussion) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough practice.
Hooper entered concussion protocol following the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, when he did not record a catch on one target while playing 34 of 61 offensive snaps. Hooper will progress through the league's five-step concussion protocol, which makes it unlikely that he'll be cleared to play in Thursday's AFC East tilt against the Jets. Hooper and Hunter Henry are the only two tight ends on the Patriots' active roster, which makes Thomas Odukoya and C.J. Dippre the top candidates to be elevated from New England's practice squad for Week 11 if Hooper is indeed ruled out.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: One catch versus Falcons
Hooper caught his only target for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.
As long as the veteran tight end works in a timeshare that favors Hunter Henry, his weekly fantasy upside will be limited. Through nine contests to date, Hooper has recorded a modest 13-174-1 receiving line on 14 targets.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Two catches in win over Browns
Hooper caught both of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.
The veteran tight end, who was on the field for 57 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense Sunday, continues to work in a timeshare with Hunter Henry (76 percent). As long as that remains the case, Hooper, who has put up a 12-154-1 receiving line on 13 targets through eight contests, will be on the fantasy radar only in deeper fantasy formats.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Two catches Sunday
Hooper caught both his targets for 11 yards and a TD in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.
Overall, Hooper has compiled a 10-116-1 receiving line on 11 targets through seven games, a rate of production that keeps the veteran tight end off the fantasy radar as long as Hunter Henry remains healthy.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: One catch versus New Orleans
Hooper, who logged 41 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target for five yards.
With just two catches on as many targets for 29 yards over his last three games, Hooper is off the fantasy radar as long as fellow TE Hunter Henry remains in the Patriots' lineup.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: One catch Sunday
Hooper, who was on the field for 32 of a possible 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-13 win over the Panthers, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the game for 24 yards.
With a 7-100-0 line on eight targets through four games, Hooper is only a fantasy lineup option in tight end friendly formats. That's not likely to change much in the coming weeks as long as fellow TE Hunter Henry remains healthy.

Patriots' Austin Hooper: Three catches Sunday
Hooper was on the field for 37 of 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins, en route to catching all three of his targets for 38 yards, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
Fellow TE Hunter Henry logged 51 snaps in the contest but caught just one of three targets for nine yards. Given a playing-time arrangement that favors Henry, Hooper -- who caught one pass for 10 yards in Week 1 -- profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option ahead of the Patriots' Week 3 game against the Steelers.
