Headed to New England
Hooper is expected to sign with the Patriots on a one-year, $4.25 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Hooper accumulated 234 yards on 25 receptions across 17 games (nine starts) in Las Vegas last season. New England will mark his fifth team during his nine-year career. The journeyman projects to back up Hunter Henry as the Patriots' No. 2 tight end.
Makes one reception on SNF
Hooper managed to overcome a minor calf injury that limited him in practice this past Wednesday and Thursday, but he was overshadowed by fellow tight end Michael Mayer on Sunday Night Football as the rookie played 56 of a possible 64 offensive snaps and caught his first career touchdown in the process. Hooper figures to retain the No. 2 TE role for Las Vegas against the Dolphins in Week 11.
Targeted once in win
Hooper continues to play behind rookie tight end Michael Mayer, but neither option has been able to reach significant fantasy relevance as Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers remain focal points. Hooper figures to take a back seat to Mayer again versus the Jets in Week 10.
