New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper (undisclosed) returned to practice on Tuesday, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. Hooper had started camp on the active/physically unable to perform list, but he appears to be back in action. The 30-year-old recorded 45 catches for 476 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games with New England in 2024. He's behind Hunter Henry on the Patriots' tight end depth chart, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team use plenty of two tight-end sets now that Josh McDaniels is back in town as the play-caller. Even still, Hooper would need an injury to Henry to crack the radar of fantasy managers.

The Miami Dolphins are hosting free-agent tight end Noah Fant on a visit on Monday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Fant is making the rounds after being released by the Seattle Seahawks at the start of training camp, as he's already visited with the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints. He continues to draw significant interest on the open market and should join a new team soon. The Dolphins recently traded Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers and signed Darren Waller after he came out of retirement, but they would certainly like to have more depth behind Waller for the 2025 season. Wherever Fant winds up, he's not going to be immediately plugged in as the no-doubt, top pass-catching option at the position, so he will go undrafted in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. The 27-year-old former first-rounder didn't crack 500 yards in any of his three seasons in Seattle.
