Yahoo Ownership: 29%

Through three weeks of play, Austin Hooper is on pace for a career year. The third-year pro has racked up the 12th-most PPR points of any tight end and has averaged 12.1 fantasy points per game in the last two weeks. The key has been opportunity as the tight end has played the most offensive snaps (170 -- 54.6%) of any Atlanta Falcons skill player not named Matt Ryan. The matchup in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals will keep Hooper's stock on the rise in fantasy, too.

So far, the Bengals' defense hasn't been sharp, having given up the eighth-most passing yards per game. Tight ends, in particular, have been a nuisance for Cincinnati, catching 23 passes and 3 touchdowns in 3 games -- thd third-most allowed by any NFL defense. In PPR leagues, the Bengals are allowing 10.8 fantasy points per game, which are the fifth-most in the league.

The game is poised to be a real barn-burner as well, with the Bengals allowing 25.7 points per game and the Falcons giving up 28.3. The over/under is currently the second-highest of the week, at 51.5. With all those points flying around, Hooper is bound to get his share, making him a nice plug-and-play in Week 4.
