When I see people talking about trade values or weekly/ROS rankings, Hooper always seems like an afterthought - just a generic "low-end TE1" who noone seems particularly interested in. He's not even on some trade value charts.

He's currently #6 TE in 0.5 PPR. He's averaging 7 targets a game (with an 86% catch rate) and 60 yards. Last week showed he can be a viable redzone target in the right matchup. He basically has the same week-by-week chart as Waller (they're within 1 pt of each other btw), with the only difference being he blew up with a spike in redzone usage vs a spike in volume.

Not saying I wouldn't still rather have Waller, but Hooper deserves more love than he gets.
