Austin Hooper 2019 Outlook
For the most part, the Falcons' offense remains relatively intact heading into 2019, outside of Tevin Coleman, who signed a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers. But even with a foundation consisting of Matt Ryan, Devonta Freeman, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu, Hooper knows the unit will experience transition under new OC Dirk Koetter. Instead of the depth-based passing scheme favored by former coordinator Steve Sarkisian, the Falcons are switching to a step-based system with Koetter, who previously served in the same role in Atlanta from 2012-14. Hooper finds himself adjusting as he comes off a Pro Bowl season. To get a better grasp of the route-running expectations within the scheme, Hooper won't alter his off-season routine from last summer when he spent a lot of time working out with Ryan. So, can he set new career bests for the third consecutive season? As CBSSports.com reminded readers, for that to happen, Hooper will have to finish with more than four touchdowns and exceed 700 yards. In this iteration of the Falcons' offense -- and given Hooper's track record as a short-area receiving option -- it seems possible but not with much upside. The bigger issue for fantasy owners, at least to this point in his career, is that Hooper has failed to deliver on a consistent weekly basis.
Austin Hooper 2018 Outlook
Hooper started 2017 off with a 100-yard game in the Week 1 opener and then preceded to lose the confidence of the team and, more importantly, his quarterback. He finished with 49 catches for 526 yards and three touchdowns. Nonetheless, Hooper was mentioned by HC Dan Quinn as one player who the Falcons expect elevated performance from in 2018. D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes, "I'm really looking forward to where Austin Hooper is going to go," Quinn said. "In the run game, he can get better. ... (But) he's a really committed football guy. I think there will be a big jump." According to CBSSports.com, it's likely that showing some improvement as a blocker would help Hooper increase his snap count from last season's 76.6 percent, but more consistent production as a receiver would bolster his chances of being a part of the Falcons' long-term plans even more.
Austin Hooper 2017 Outlook
As ESPN.com recently suggested, it's rare for a rookie tight end to make much of an impact, so it's not a surprise that Hooper finished 2016 with only 19 receptions for 271 yards and three touchdowns. Hooper appeared in 14 games and averaged only 27 snaps per game. Although Jacob Tamme's shoulder injury forced the team to use a committee at the position, Atlanta tight ends still combined for 788 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tamme revived his career with the Falcons before injuring the shoulder, an injury that required surgery. It's unclear if the team will re-sign him because Hooper is clearly the future at the position. Levine Toilolo has developed into a strong blocker and had a decent season catching the ball. But expect Hooper to grow into a larger role in his second season, a role that will make him responsible for a hefty share of the tight end workload. The 2016 third-round pick will make for an intriguing late-round flier as a focal point in Atlanta's high-scoring offense.
