FanDuel NFL 2021: Best lineup for Week 14
Tight End: Austin Hooper, Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens-$5,000
Prior to a catchless dud against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12 (the Browns had a bye in Week 13), Hooper had 12 targets over his prior two games and at least five targets in three of his previous four. A rematch with the Ravens is coming in Week 14.
Baltimore is a bottom-five fantasy defense against tight ends (tied for third-most points allowed per game), with a league-high target share allowed to the position. The Browns use three tight ends, but one is now trending toward not being available on Sunday.

Njoku had a touchdown against the Ravens in Week 12, and he had 13 targets over the three games before Cleveland’s bye.
Paying up for two wide receivers required going down the list of tight ends. Hooper may need to get a touchdown to pay this off, but a handful of targets is easy to expect.
