Austin Hooper

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught 2-of-4 targets for 21 yards in a 35-30 win over the Bengals in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

Hooper has just four catches for 36 scoreless yards through two weeks. It has been slow going for the veteran tight end. He will be a low-end TE2 for Week 3's matchup against Washington.

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught 2-of-2 passes for 15 yards in a 38-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

New Browns TE Austin Hooper says he spent 2-3 weeks living with Baker Mayfield this offseason.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact
