1. TE Austin Hooper

According to the depth chart the Falcons have released for their game against the Panthers, Hooper has surpassed Levine Toilolo has the No. 2 TE in the offense. This means he could have a decent amount of opportunities waiting for him this week. He’s shown the ability to be a viable option, but he is often not given a large opportunity throughout the game. He can be a strong flex option for your team, considering the fact that Atlanta should be using many 2 tight end or 2-back sets to beat the Panthers’ strong linebacker core.
