Austin Hooper

Some schools are notorious for putting out incredible fantasy talent at the same position every year. With everyone preparing their big boards for the NFL Draft, let's take a look at which schools farm out talent at one specific position each season.Note: The schools listed were chosen based off of offensive scheme and fantasy production of previous players.

With the absence of two of the top three fantasy tight ends and three of the top four in receiving yardage, it’s not a surprise that tight end fantasy production left a little to be desired in Week 10. Vernon Davis was the only tight end to hit 75 yards, and only four tight ends had double-digit fantasy points. One of those four was Austin Hooper, who posted his second top-five finish in three weeks. Don’t look now, but Hooper is the overall TE7 on the year and has made a significant leap in his second season. Garrett Celek…

There were not a ton of noteworthy fantasy performances by tight ends in Week 8. Then again, the New York Giants had a bye week. Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce earned the top spot in Week 8. He put up 19.3 fantasy points on Monday night, a feat arguably as impressive as going an entire game without being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Kelce joins Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz as the top fantasy tight ends this season. The three are in a tier amongst themselves. They each have at least 500 yards and at least…

Week 7 was a productive one for tight ends as a group. A whopping 16 tight ends, including Dallas' Jason Witten, who we've highlighted below, eclipsed 50 receiving yards, the most in a single week since Week 12 of the 2015 season. We probably will not see a repeat of that number in Week 8, primarily because Week 8 features a season-high six teams on a bye. One of those teams is the New York Giants, which immediately takes two elite tight end options off the board - Giants rookie Evan Engram and whoever the Giants’ opponent…

Tight ends were heavily involved in the action in Week 6. There was a dozen tight ends who had at least seven targets, and fourteen tight ends who caught at least one touchdown pass. Rob Gronkowski returned from his Week 5 absence and showed why he’s the best in the business, as he torched the New York Jets for 83 yards and two touchdowns. His counterpart in that game, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, finished tied for seventh in standard leagues in Week 6. Of course, he would’ve finished second behind Gronkowski had he not had a…
