2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hooker is coming off a 2024 season in which he recorded a career-high 81 tackles while starting all 17 games for the Cowboys, an impressive performance for a 29-year-old whose early years in the NFL earned him an injury-prone label. He'll be reunited this year with former defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, but that may not be a positive for Hooker's production as his per-game numbers were fairly modest while the duo was together in Indianapolis.

Signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Cowboys in August of 2023.
Logs nine tackles Week 1
Hooker tallied nine tackles (four solo) during the Cowboys' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hooker tied with Kenneth Murray for the most tackles on the Cowboys, and the duo each played all 63 defensive snaps in Thursday's regular-season opener. Hooker played 1,008 defensive snaps last season and will operate as an every-down safety alongside Donovan Wilson in 2025. The Cowboys host the NFC East rival Giants on Sunday, Sept. 14.

After four injury-plagued seasons with the Colts, Hooker has stayed mostly healthy in two years with the Cowboys and shown he still has the talent that made him a first-round pick in 2017. Last year's 62 tackles were a personal best, while his three interceptions tied the career-high mark he set as a rookie, and he's a key part of Dallas' three-headed safety corps that also featured Donovan Wilson and Jayron Kearse.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to face Chargers
Hooker is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, according to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
Hooker is trending in the right direction to play Sunday and all signs point toward that being the case -- unless he suffers an unexpected setback. It's worth noting that Hooker hasn't played a single snap since tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 2 last year.
