Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) will be out for Week 12, but he could start running Thursday, Nov. 21.

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) is considered 'week to week' by the team, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure, who added that head coach Dan Quinn denied an earlier report that Hooper will be sidelined for a month.
Huddle Up: Hooper is obviously one of the top fantasy tight ends this season, so the fewer games he misses the better. At this point all we're sure of is that Hooper won't play Sunday against the Panthers so make alternate plans, but don't cut Hooper unless you have no other option.

Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Hooper is expected to miss a few weeks, so fantasy players will need to look for other options. None of the Falcons tight ends should be fantasy options this week.

Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) is expected to miss a month with a sprained medial collateral ligament.
Huddle Up: No one on the roster is a serviceable fantasy pickup. You're likely going to have to play the matchups if you have to replace Hooper. Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson has the matchup this week if he's available on waivers.

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) has been diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament and will miss some time. He is scheduled to receive a second opinion on the injury to determine how much time he will miss.
Huddle Up: Hooper has been one of the better tight ends in the NFL this season, so fantasy players should monitor the situation to see when he may be able to return. Luke Stocker and Jaeden Graham will see more playing time, but neither players should be fantasy options.

Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) will have an MRI on his knee Monday, Nov. 11, and he's expected to miss time. The MRI will determine how much he'll miss.
Huddle Up: Hooper is having a breakout season with a 56-608-6 line. Luke Stocker has no fantasy value if Hooper is forced out of action for a prolonged period.

Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 10 game.

Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper caught four passes for 17 yards and one touchdown against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. He was targeted five times during the game.
Huddle Up: Hooper has caught a touchdown in each of the last four games and has been one of the most consistent tight ends for fantasy players. He is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues no matter the opponent.
