STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Hooper targeted on scoring drive by Penix; signals increased TE involvement.

Hooper saw a scoring drive target from Michael Penix in the Week 3 win over Green Bay, lining up inline while Pitts was split out wide. This glimpse of tight end involvement under Penix suggests the offense will be less reliant on checkdowns to Robinson and more willing to target tight ends downfield, opening opportunities for Hooper to compete for snaps and targets with Pitts.
