8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 4

Austin Hooper, TE, Atlanta Falcons

The tight end position is a bit of a mess this week, and even for streaming options, there's not a ton to like.

Some weeks, Austin Hooper wouldn't stand out much in the spot he finds himself in, but this week he's the best of a rough group.

His 4.3 targets per game are certainly nothing to write home about, though his volume has at least been consistent, with at least four targets in each of his three games. He's also seeing a reasonable amount of red zone work, sitting tied for a team-lead with three targets inside the 20-yard line.

The Atlanta Falcons' 28-point implied total ranks second on the main slate, and when tight end options are thin, simply being in an offense that is likely to put up big points is something you want to look for. Scoring a touchdown can be make-or-break for low-volume tight ends, so getting one of the top red zone threats on one of the slate's highest-projected offenses is easy to like.

The Cincinnati Bengals have also struggled against the tight end position this season. They managed to hold Carolina Panthers rookie Ian Thomas in check last week, but they have still allowed top-five fantasy numbers to the position this year, having given up double-digit points to three different tight ends.
