When you pit a team that is 1-3-1 against a team that is 1-4, fantasy football options may not be the first thing that comes to mind.  However with the Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons, both teams have multiple players that can get you some fantasy points.

Look to the offensive side of the ball however for both teams.  For the Cardinals, quarterback and running back might be better options.  For the Falcons, look to the quarterback, receiver, and tight end.

Austin Hooper

When will we stop suggesting an opponent’s tight end?  Well, when the Cardinals decide to stop one.  Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, the only one that stopped their tight ends was the Bengals themselves.

Matt Ryan is a better quarterback than Andy Dalton.  He can get the ball to Hooper.  Hooper is third in the NFL for tight ends and receiving yards.  He has 363-yards receiving so far this season.

He has found the end zone just twice, but at 10.7 yards-per-catch, he is someone the Cardinals should pay attention to.  However, don’t count on it.  Even in games Atlanta hasn’t been in, Hooper has managed to get double digit points.
