Hooper caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Hooper logged 27 of 66 snaps on offense, while Hunter Henry saw 43 snaps and caught all three of his targets for 49 yards and a TD. As long as Henry remains healthy, Hooper -- who heads into Week 18 with a 20-258-3 receiving line in 15 games -- will be a TD-dependent dart throw in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

Hooper caught two of his four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Hooper was on the field for 23 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, while fellow TE Hunter Henry was out there for 60 en route to catching six of his seven targets for 35 yards and a TD. As this coming Sunday's game against the Jets approaches, Hooper profiles as a fantasy dart while working behind Henry in a New England offense that tends to spread the ball around.

Hooper logged a season-low 16 out of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight contest, Hooper saw a decrease in snaps and wasn't targeted in New England's passing game. He'll remain off the fantasy lineup radar as long as fellow TE Hunter Henry is healthy and available.

Hooper was on the field for 25 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

In the process, Hooper, who caught three of his four targets for 39 yards the Patriots' Week 12 win over the Bengals, did not record a target in the contest, while fellow TE Hunter Henry (49 snaps) brought in four of six targets for 73 yards. Hooper heads into his team's bye week with a 16/213/1 receiving line on 19 targets in 12 games, a rate of production that limits his fantasy viability to the deepest of formats.

Hooper caught three of his four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

During a game in which the Patriots' TEs were more of a focal point than usual, Hunter Henry recorded seven catches for 115 yards and a TD on 10 targets, while none of the team's WRs had more than two catches. As next Monday's game against the Giants approaches, Hooper's fantasy value remains modest with Henry as the clear top option for Drake Maye at tight end.

Hooper (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Hooper practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday after a limited session Wednesday, and he has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Hunter Henry remains New England's top pass catcher among tight ends. but Hooper could find success against a Bengals defense that has been by far the worst in the league at defending the position, allowing a league-high 80.8 receiving yards per game to tight ends, as well as 12 touchdowns to the position in 10 games.

Hooper (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hooper missed Week 11 while in the concussion protocol, but he's now trending toward a return for Sunday's road matchup against the Bengals. Of course, Hooper will need to gain full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, before retaking the field. If active for Sunday's game, Hooper will handle No. 2 tight end reps behind Hunter Henry.

Hooper (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hooper missed Week 11 while working his way through the concussion protocol, and returning to practice as a limited participant represents a tangible step in the right direction. The depth tight end will need to gain full clearance before retaking the field, however, so his status will need to be monitored approaching Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. If available, Hooper will resume working as the top backup to Hunter Henry.

Hooper (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Hooper unsurprisingly didn't practice on a short week after suffering a concussion during Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. The Patriots likely will elevate Thomas Odukoya or CJ Dippre from the practice squad before Thursday night, with Hooper's absence potentially also leaving a few more snaps for FB Jack Westover or New England's WRs.

Hooper (concussion) isn't in attendance for Tuesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Patriots aren't expected to hold a rigorous practice Tuesday in their most extensive on-field session of the week, the fact that Hooper wasn't even working out off to the side suggests he's not expected to clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets. Assuming Hooper is ruled out for the Week 11 contest, the Patriots could have fullback Jack Westover serve as the main backup to starting tight end Hunter Henry. New England could also look to elevate one or both of Thomas Odukoya or CJ Dippre from the practice squad to add depth to the position group.
