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.

Tip Reiman News
Thursday, July 23, 8:05 PM
The Arizona Cardinals placed tight end Tip Reiman (ankle) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday for the start of training camp, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Reiman, a third-rounder in 2024 from the University of Illinois, played in just four games in 2025 in his second year in the league before suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans that landed him on Injured Reserve. The 24-year-old still isn't fully recovered from his ankle injury for the start of camp this week, but he can come off the PUP list at any point this summer. It is unclear if Reiman is in danger of missing the start of his third year in the NFL. In his first two years in Arizona, Reiman caught just nine of 12 targets for 55 yards and zero touchdowns in 21 games (12 starts). He's completely off the fantasy radar for 2026.
