From the article
The outliers: The only four tight ends who weren't in a new offense AND had ample pass-game competition: 2019 Hooper, 2021 Schultz, 2021 Gronk and 2025 Goedert. The former three benefited from playing with immensely productive passing games led by longtime stud QBs
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
2019 Hooper's outlier success despite WR competition relied on elite QB and offense.
Hooper is cited as one of just 18 tight ends since 2017 who scored 12-plus PPR points per game (minimum 8 games) while being drafted as TE10 or later. The 2019 version is highlighted as one of only four outliers who succeeded without being in a new offense AND despite ample pass-game competition (Julio Jones, Ridley). He benefited from playing in an immensely productive passing game led by longtime stud QB Matt Ryan.
