Austin Hooper News
Monday, March 9, 9:40 AM
Free-agent tight end Austin Hooper is signing a one-year, $3.25 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Hooper was originally drafted by Atlanta in the third round in 2016 out of Stanford. The 31-year-old veteran spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Falcons and was a Pro Bowler with them in 2018 and 2019. He then bounced around with the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, and New England Patriots. Hooper hasn't been as productive as he was in his final two seasons in Atlanta, and in his return, he'll be a backup to TE Kyle Pitts Sr. In 16 regular-season games (six starts) for the Patriots last year, Hooper had just 21 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Unless Pitts is traded or injured in 2026, Hooper won't be on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues this fall.

Dallas Goedert News
Sunday, November 8, 1:12 PM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert could potentially be traded at the upcoming deadline. When asked about it, Goedert said that he wasn't worried about getting traded. Goedert noted that it's a possibility, but he's not trying to worry about it right now. Given how the season is going in Philly, Goedert is someone who could be traded at the deadline. The 31-year-old remains productive, but the Eagles could look to deal him and get younger at the position. If he gets moved, rookie Eli Stowers could see an expanded role down the stretch of the season. This situation is something that should be monitored over the next few days.
