Falcons | Austin Hooper had robust catch rate

Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper caught 71 of 88 targets last season for an 80.7 percent catch ratio. In comparison, former TE Tony Gonzalez’s best catch ratio was 75 percent in 2012. ‘Hooper, the improvement just keeps getting better,’ Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. ‘Now, he’s ready to go to another level, and I’m looking forward to seeing him make that growth.’

Footballguys View: Hooper has done a good job of developing his game in the pros. He’s not a seam-ripper or a touchdown hog, but Hooper is consistent with his effort and gets open for QB Matt Ryan. A third-round pick out of Stanford in the 2016 NFL draft, Hooper finished 2018 with 71 catches for 660 yards and four touchdowns. This year, Hooper should be in that low-end TE1 range for Fantasy GMs. His current ADP is TE11 (10.08) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Browns | Myles Garrett has stronger arsenal

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett said that he was limited to a couple of moves at the line under former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, and he feels he has more freedom this year. Garrett was known for using a long-arm technique to create space and neutralize an opposing lineman’s ability to set their feet deep. ‘You can be as strong or fast as you want, but speed chop and power move aren’t always going to work,’ Garrett said. ‘You have to mix up what you’re doing. Sometimes you have to stutter step, sometimes you have to spin inside, you have to run some games. You have to have some freedom to throw different looks at them, and we didn’t always have that.’
