Austin Hooper

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards in a 22-17 loss to the Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact

Hooper came up small in what appeared to be an excellent matchup for him on paper. The big-ticket free agent signing from last offseason wound up being a bust for the Browns. He will hope for a bounce-back in 2021 but that will be tough in a run-heavy Cleveland offense.

Fantasy Impact

Hooper could have had a bigger game but struggled to hold onto the football. He dropped at least two passes, one of which would have been a second touchdown. He will be worth considering for DFS lineups next week against the Chiefs in the Divisional Round.

Fantasy Impact

With the Browns placing their top four WRs on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, Hooper wound up as the team's leading receiver. He set season-highs in catches, targets, and yardage along the way. Hooper will be a low-end TE1 in Week 17 against Pittsburgh.

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught 5-of-6 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in a 20-6 win over the Giants in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact
