Hooper Betting Trends and Stats
The Steelers’ defense has only allowed eight total receptions to opposing tight ends through two games this season.
Hooper Best Bet
With just three total targets in two games this season, Hooper does not appear to be considered a vital piece of the Raiders’ passing game. So, expecting anything more than what he has produced so far — 20 receiving yards per game, 1.5 receptions per game — is probably unrealistic.
Except…
Hooper has been a big-play receiver in those brief times in which the ball is thrown his way. In Week 1, Hooper had just one catch, but it went for 20 yards. And last week in the loss to the Bills, 15 of his 20 receiving yards came on one of his two receptions.
The Steelers’ defense has allowed 11 pass plays of 15 or more yards so far this season, so the opportunity should be there for Hooper to have at least one more long reception. With most of the attention focused on Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Josh Jacobs, it’s easy to see Hooper sneaking down the middle and coming away with a 15- or 20-yard catch in the right spot.

While there isn’t much to shout about when it comes to Hooper and his production this season, if the Steelers’ defense can’t improve on its inability to stop the big pass play, I’m looking for Hooper to get through one time for a nice reception.
