My guess is he will disappoint a lot of people next week.

That's what I was thinking. Does Matt Ryan typically use his TEs that often?

He had 2 targets

Seems foolish to throw him in there already

What you are thinking about Hooper, I am thinking about Cohen for the Bears. I've already added picked him up in both of my leagues.

Basically two fluke busted coverage plays.

I saw him too. Is he a starter?

No, but he got quite a few touches today, and made the best out of him. He is a beast. Jordan Howard dropped an easy pass that would've put them on the goal line to win the game too. Cohen will only get more and more touches IMO.

He had 2 touches today. 1 was an 88 yard TD. That will most likely be the longest play of his entire career. 128 yards and a TD on 2 catches. If you think this is indicative of the rest of his season, you're way overreacting.

ETA: I thought you were talking about Hooper. Now I realize you were talking about Cohen.

Cohen seems to be heavily involved going forward. I think he is one to stash

Not So sure. A guy that size will always have his touches monitored.

Damn, I didn't realize how small he is. He doesn't look that small on the field, probably because he doesn't play like he is small.

Austin Hooper going 2-128-1 on 2 targets obv fluky, but usage was there. Played on 47-of-59 snaps, pass-blocked on just 2 of them (via PFF).

I mean, yeah hooper is startable for fantasy. The TE position did well for the Falcons last year, it was just multiple guys. Tamme is gone, hooper is in year 2, etc.... No he isn't doing this every week but he should be fine. 700-800 yds, 7 TDs seems within reach.

Did you see the two runs after catch?
They would be stupid to not get him the ball more like this. He stiff armed guys viciously to the ground on both runs.
