The Bills are acquiring S Amani Hooker from the Titans, according to multiple reports. Buffalo's sending a second-round pick for Hooker and a fifth-rounder. Hooker has spent all eight of his pro seasons in Tennessee and currently leads the league with 5 INTs.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Hooker Might Get Situational Upgrade
Hooker joins a secondary that recently shed everyone's least-favorite teammate, C.J. Gardner-Johnson. (Buffalo released him in the wake of the spitting incident that got him suspended.)
Hooker sports 17 career INTs, including 5 in two of the past three seasons. He adds big-play ability to a secondary that has struggled this season.
Hooker's addition likely won't dramatically shift the fantasy matchup for opposing offensive players. Landing in Buffalo, though, might help Hooker's own fantasy opportunities.
He leaves a Titans team that ranks 22nd in pass attempts faced. The Bills sit tied for sixth-most attempts faced (3.5 more per game than Tennessee). Tennessee LBs also rank 12th in total tackles per game vs. Bills LBs at 26th.
Fewer tackles by LBs plus more pass attempts could mean more opportunities for Buffalo's newest safety.
At the least, Hooker doesn't get a downgrade in fantasy outlook from his move.
Who Takes His Spot in Tennessee?
Hooker's departure, meanwhile, elevates either Tony Adams or Terrell Burgess into the starting lineup. The team's "unofficial" depth chart lists Adams as Hooker's backup, and he brings more NFL starting history than Burgess does.
Adams has filled in for Tennessee's other starter, Kevin Winston Jr., more often this year, but that could be due to Hooker barely leaving the field outside of missing Week 5.
I'll watch for word on the Titans' replacement plan, but Adams would be the preferred fill-in for stat upside.
