Fantasy Impact
Hooker is entering his third season in the NFL after being a Round 3 pick following a standout senior season at Tennessee. Unfortunately, an injury kept him out during his rookie year, and he struggled in the preseason. The Volunteers' offense is not necessarily a pro-style offense and Hooker may need to continue to develop to be a backup QB, but he is also 27 years old. He can learn and develop behind veteran Andy Dalton while backing up Bryce Young.
The Detroit Lions are waiving third-year quarterback Hendon Hooker ahead of the 53-man roster deadline.
Fantasy Impact
Hooker was a third-round selection out of Tennessee, but he never got much opportunity in the NFL playing behind Jared Goff and missing his rookie season due to injury. However, he did struggle in the preseason and has dealt with health concerns. At 27 years old, he's not as young as other third-year players but could find a new opportunity elsewhere as a QB2.
