Overall
Used sparingly in 2024
Hooker completed six of nine passes for 62 yards while adding five carries for two yards over three games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Hooker operated as Jared Goff's primary backup option in 2024, ultimately seeing marginal action with Goff starting all 17 regular-season contests. Hooker was demoted to the No. 3 option at quarterback when Detroit signed Teddy Bridgewater in late December after Bridgewater had previously retired prior to the year. Nonetheless, with Bridgewater entering free agency, Hooker will presumably enter the 2025 campaign as Goff's top backup.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A third-round pick in last year’s draft, Hooker spent most of his rookie season recovering from an ACL injury from November 2022. He was finally healthy enough to suit up as the emergency No. 3 QB the final three regular-season games and in the playoffs, though he never took a snap. Jared Goff, who signed a contract extension this offseason after leading the Lions to the NFC championship game, is secure as the starter, but Hooker should take over the backup spot this season. Hooker, 26, has a strong arm, though perhaps not elite, and should regain most of his mobility and athleticism post-injury. At 6-4, 208, Hooker has prototypical QB size, and the Lions offer a strong supporting cast. It’s an intriguing setup should Hooker be pressed into action.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Odd-man out in Detroit?
Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com believes that the signing of Teddy Bridgewater late in the 2024 regular season could indicate that the Lions will move on from Hooker during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
Hooker spent most of the 2024 campaign as Jared Goff's backup, but the former was relegated to emergency quarterback duties after Bridgewater was signed to the 53-man roster in late December. Hooker is owed only $1.3 million in non-guaranteed money in 2025, but he could be let go or traded by Detroit given Bridgewater's return and Goff signing a four-year extension in May of 2024.
