Again, another slightly inappropriate one. I’m hoping you’ll get over it.
I like this one for a couple of reasons. The first is that I’m particularly fond of Austin Hooper as a player. I’m not entirely convinced he’s going to be a fantasy football asset this season, but playing in the Atlanta Falcons’ pass-happy offense certainly helps his chances.
Second, it could be a great way to allow your fantasy football team name to do the talking. Not very good at fantasy? Make terrible decisions on draft day, and can’t use the waiver wire to save your life? Maybe sporting a name that alludes to a piece of equipment used to dispose of waste would be rather fitting.
Personally, I think it sounds good. Has a short-and-sweet feel to it.
I wouldn’t be betting on Hooper lighting it up this year, seeing as he currently hasn’t even earned an average draft position on ESPN. However, if you’re looking for a late-round tight end with some upside, maybe the Stanford alum is your man. He flashed enough in 2017 to be worth a look in 2018.
