2. Austin Hooper, TE, Atlanta Falcons (47.1 percent owned)

Hooper is another player who is on my “start” list in my weekly Start or Sit article and I believe he’ll finish the week as a top-10 tight end. The Patriots defense looks completely out of sync this season and they haven’t been close to stopping any opposing offense. The Patriots have given up a receiving touchdown to an opposing tight end in all but one game this season. I expect Hooper, who is coming off a seven-reception game, to find the end zone on Sunday Night Football.

1. Robert Woods, WR, Los Angeles Rams (18.7 percent owned)

Going into Sunday, Woods is second on the team in receptions (22), first in targets (37) and first in receiving yards (322). He gets a great matchup against the Arizona Cardinals who have been generous to opposing wide receievers. To top it off, the Cardinals All-Pro cornerback, Patrick Peterson, should line up across from Sammy Watkins for most of the day tomorrow. If/when that happens, it should funnel more passes to Woods who has five-plus receptions in three out of the last four games.
