Austin Hooper

While Hooper is one of the more talented TEs in the NFL, he's in an offense that isn't exactly going to maximize his skills from a fantasy perspective. He's going to be asked to stay in and block quite a bit and this offense should be one of the more run-heavy units in the league. Hooper's a fine dart throw in the later rounds, but it's unlikely that he finishes anywhere close to the top-5 when it's all said and done.

Austin Hooper signing with Browns, becomes league's highest paid tight end

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports free agent Austin Hooper is headed to the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Hooper, the top free agent at his position, is reportedly set to become the highest paid tight end in football. Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports the deal is for four years and $44 million. This move is obviously a win for Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland offense as a whole. However, it definitely hurts David Njoku's value.
