Austin Hooper

TE · Atlanta Falcons — NFL fantasy hub on MySidelines

Season 2025 · 59.3 fantasy pts · 16 games · Pos rank #47

Durability Story · Watch

Austin Hooper has been durable enough to stay relevant, but not durable enough for managers to stop checking the report every week. Evidence check: injury reports across 9 different seasons; 1 games missed in the last three (2025: 1); 2019 was the rough one at 3 missed; longest on-report absence ran 3 weeks in 2019 (Wk 11–13); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Austin is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
