Austin Hooper
TE - New England Patriots
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
Austin Hooper was a full participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Hooper remains off the fantasy radar.
Austin Hooper (concussion) logged a limited practice session on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran missed New England's last game while going through the NFL's concussion protocols, but he seems to be progressing well and was able to log a limited practice session on Wednesday. It looks likely that he will be fully cleared to play for Sunday's game against the Bengals, which may mean slightly less snaps for Hunter Henry moving forward.
Austin Hooper (concussion) will be unavailable for Thursday night's game against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Hooper is still going through the NFL's concussion protocols and is going to be sidelined on Thursday night as a result. Fantasy managers should expect his absence to lead to slightly more work for Hunter Henry and Kyle Williams against the Jets this week.
Austin Hooper was listed as sidelined in Monday's practice.
Fantasy Impact
It was an estimation as the Patriots did not practice. Nonetheless, Hooper is unlikely to be cleared in time for Thursday's game against the Jets.
Austin Hooper failed to catch his lone target in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
Hooper has seen minimal involvement in the New England passing attack to this point, logging three receptions and targets or less in each of the first 10 games for the Patriots. The tight end can remain off rosters in all formats while Hunter Henry remains healthy, with a Week 11 contest against the New York Jets up next.
