Travis Kelce News
Friday, November 13, 12:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been one of the most reliable offensive weapons in the team's passing attack this season and he should continue to be this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons. Kelce was listed on the Chiefs' injury report this week as he's still tending to his ankle injury, but he practiced fully all week and does not have a designation ahead of the game. The veteran tight end reeled off another solid performance in last week's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Kelce caught four passes for 72 yards to lead the team in receiving yards and finish second in targets. Kelce should once again be one of the team's top targets even with the addition of wide receiver Josh Downs at the trade deadline. The 37-year-old has years of chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and he will no doubt be the one Mahomes looks for when he needs to convert a crucial third down. Kelce is ranked TE6 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong start at the position this week. The Falcons are an average matchup for tight ends this season, so Kelce should not be affected by any matchup issues this week.

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.
