Austin Hooper

Hooper was third on the team in targets and second on the team in both catches and receiving yards. It was clear that the Patriots saw an advantage with their tight ends against the Bengals' safeties and linebackers and exploited it often on Sunday. Hooper can't be relied on in fantasy leagues next week against the Ravens.

Hooper should not be rostered anywhere, having earned two targets or fewer since Week 3. He may end up stealing an opportunity from TE Hunter Henry, but Hooper is mostly paid to run cardio in between blocking reps. The Patriots face the Bengals in Week 12.

Hooper will need to get in a full practice before being cleared from the league's concussion protocol. He should be able to do so over the next two days. Hooper has stolen the occasional chunk gain from Hunter Henry this year, but he is not on the fantasy radar for Week 12.
