With Jacob Tamme ruled out, Austin Hooper will get the start at tight end for Atlanta in Week 9.

He played 73% of the Falcons' offensive snaps after Tamme went down in Week 8, getting five targets. He should play a sizable role in a Falcons' offense that has seen 19% of its passing targets go to tight ends this season.

Atlanta has a hefty 27-point implied total against a Tampa Bay defense that our metrics have ranked 23rd against the pass. Our projections have Hooper as the No. 12 fantasy tight end in Week 9.
