Austin Hooper Leads Patriots In Receiving Yards Sunday

Sunday, September 8, 6:02 PM

New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught two of his four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran finished led the Patriots in receiving yards, but this level of production isn't enough to put him on the fantasy radar going forward, especially since he remains behind Hunter Henry on the depth chart. Instead, Hooper will merely offer a reliable veteran presence in two-tight end sets, giving Brissett a solid outlet on short and medium passes.

Jake Ferguson Returns To Practice In Limited Capacity On Wednesday

Wednesday, September 18, 5:24 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) was seen at practice today and participated in a limited capacity. This is a great sign for the 25-year-old who missed last week's game due to an MCL sprain. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ferguson's status heading into the weekend, but this is a promising sign that the Wisconsin product could return to the field on Sunday. In the season opener, Ferguson caught only three of his five targets for a mere 15 yards. However, he was a focal point of the Dallas offense last season and should be started in all standard leagues if he suits up. If Ferguson misses Sunday's game, Luke Schoonmaker will once again slot in as the No.1 tight end in Dallas and could be a solid TE2 given the six targets he saw in Week 2.
