AUSTIN HOOPER NEWS

Limited to one catch Hooper recorded one catch on one target for five yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.

Impact The Titans went to an extremely run-heavy approach with Malik Willis under center, who attempted only 10 passes in the game. As a result, no Titans pass catcher tallied more than two receptions or 26 yards in the contest. Hooper now has recorded single-digit receiving yards in four of seven games on the campaign.

Leads way with 56 yards Hooper recorded three receptions on three targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts.

Impact Hooper turned in his best game as a Titan, as he managed lengthy receptions of 23,19 and 14 yards to lead the team in receiving. Prior to Sunday's matchup, Hooper had failed to surpass 19 receiving yards in any matchup, so it's unclear whether he will continue to see an increased role in the offense. Like every Titans' pass catcher, Hooper should primarily be targeted in games where the team is chasing points.

Limited to one target Hooper hauled in his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders.

Impact Hooper was on the field for 33 snaps, his highest total since Week 1. However, he remained a minimal part of the Titans' passing attack and has racked up more than one reception in a game only once this season. Overall, Hooper has six catches for 55 yards across five games.

One catch against Colts Hooper recorded one catch on one target for four yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

Impact Hooper played only 20 offensive snaps, half the mark of Geoff Swaim. More concerning was the increased snap rate for Chigoziem Okonkwo, who played 13 offensive snaps and also caught his first career touchdown. Hooper is likely to remain the Titans' top pass-catching tight end from a playing time perspective for a significant portion of the season, but he has only five receptions for 48 yards across four games.

Cleared for Week 4 Hooper (neck) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Hooper was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but his full participation Friday paves the way for the tight end to suit up this weekend. However, with just four catches on nine targets for 44 yards in three games thus far, Hooper's fantasy impact has been modest while working in a timeshare with Geoff Swaim.

Manages limited participation Hooper (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Impact Hooper took a step forward in activity from Wednesday and will look to graduate to full participation Friday, which would likely allow him to enter this weekend's matchup with the Colts without an injury designation. Even if the neck issue results in no restrictions for Hooper, his fantasy ceiling will be suppressed while he continues to share snaps at tight end with Geoff Swaim. Hooper hasn't played more than 62 percent of snaps or drawn more than five targets in any of the Titans' first three games.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Hooper (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' officials site reports.

Impact The report notes that Hooper was spotted running on a side field during Wednesday's session. In the Titans' 24-22 win over the Raiders on Sunday, Hooper was on the field for 24 snaps en route to catching both of his targets for 19 yards, while fellow tight end Geoff Swaim (40 snaps) caught caught all three of his targets for 19 yards and a TD. Three games into the season, Hooper has been limited to four catches on nine targets for 44 yards and as long as he's in a time-share with Swaim he'll be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches against Raiders Hooper caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.

Impact Hooper played only 24 offensive snaps and was less involved in the offense than Geoff Swaim. He did manage receptions of 11 and eight yards, matching his highest yardage total of the season. Through three games, Hooper has only a total of four catches for 44 yards.

Makes little of four targets Hooper recorded one reception on four targets for 19 yards in Monday's 41-7 loss to the Bills.

Impact Hooper was on the field for exactly half of Tennessee's offensive snaps, though most of the team's starters were pulled late in the third quarter of the rout. He finished tied for third on the team with four targets, but he did little with his opportunities. Hooper should continue to serve as the Titans' primary pass-catching tight end, though that has translated to only two receptions and 25 yards across two games.

Targeted plenty Hooper caught seven passes during Tennessee's joint practice with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Quarterback Ryan Tannehill talked up the acquisition of Hooper prior to training camp, and the duo seems to have quickly developed a connection. Hooper could get off to a hot start to the season, as Treylon Burks (undisclosed) has had an inconsistent ramp-up to his rookie campaign while Robert Woods is hoping to be fully recovered from a torn ACL in time for Week 1. Even if both Burks and Woods are ready to go for the regular season, Hooper could realistically emerge as the third target for Tannehill in the passing offense.
