FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Coming off a career-high, nine-catch performance in last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper received plenty of praise from coach Dan Quinn, as well as from his teammates.
It's fair to wonder if Hooper will build off that performance moving forward, particularly with guys such as Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and even Mohamed Sanu drawing added attention from the defense.
Hooper welcomes any talk about increased expectations. What he's not cool with is anything related to fantasy football implications.
