Rest-of-Season Projections
Role could shrink in 2024
Hooker may not see the same workload in 2024 under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer that he did the last two seasons under Dan Quinn.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old is a valuable part of the Cowboys' secondary, but Hooker averaged over 800 snaps the last two years as Quinn often used his safeties as linebackers in a hybrid role. Dallas has a much stronger LB corps this season, however, and Zimmer's scheme doesn't have a history of deploying safeties in the same way. Hooker totaled 112 tackles and four interceptions over 32 regular-season games the past two years, but he could be hard-pressed to repeat those numbers if his snap volume declines.

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.
