Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Hopkins put forth a lackluster performance last week, catching four passes for 37 yards against the Texans. The 32-year-old looked like a solid fantasy asset after his acquisition at the trade deadline, but his production has since fallen off. With the Kansas City offense running through rookie Xavier Worthy, Hopkins has seen his target volume and production dip the last two weeks. Hopkins will hope to find the endzone against the Steelers, who rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Hopkins is ranked WR42 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a flex option this week. Fantasy managers will have a difficult time starting Hopkins in the fantasy playoffs as he no longer seems like a focal point of the offense.
Dec 24, 2024 2:25 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 37 yards in the 27-19 win over the Houston Texans. With the return of Marquise Brown, Hopkins appeared to take a backseat to other Kansas City pass catchers. The veteran receiver finished fourth on the team in targets and receiving yards in this contest. Hopkins provides a sure-handed receiving option, but his fellow wide receivers offer more explosiveness. Hopkins will look to be more involved next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who rank 13th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. With Hopkins falling in the target pecking order, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust him in their lineups for Week 17.
Dec 22, 2024 6:54 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Houston Texans on Saturday in Week 16. Hopkins had five catches for 36 yards in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns. The 32-year-old has been consistently involved in the Kansas City offense due to his reliability and route-running. Hopkins will look to stay involved this week against the Texans, who rank 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Although the matchup is juicy, Hopkins must contend with Marquise Brown returning from injury this week. The veteran receiver is ranked WR37 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in the WR3/Flex range this week. With numerous available pass catchers in the Kansas City offense, it will be difficult for Hopkins to receive a large workload. Hopkins is a tough player for managers to trust in the fantasy playoffs.
Dec 20, 2024 4:38 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had five catches for 36 yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. The 32-year-old finished second on the team in receptions and receiving yards in this contest. The veteran receiver has been far less fantasy-relevant in games without a touchdown, which held true in this game. Hopkins does not receive enough passing volume to be strong play most weeks. Hopkins will try to find the endzone next week against the Houston Texans, who rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Patrick Mahomes left this week's contest with an ankle injury that could potentially force him to miss next week's game. Fantasy managers should view Hopkins as a touchdown-dependent flex play if Mahomes plays and may have to consider benching him if Mahomes misses.
Dec 16, 2024 4:27 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. Hopkins put forward a decent fantasy performance last week against the Chargers, catching four passes for 32 yards and a touchdown. Hopkins will look to continue being a reliable option for Patrick Mahomes when the Chiefs take on the Browns in Cleveland. The Browns rank 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, making them a favorable matchup for the veteran receiver. The 32-year-old is ranked WR38 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a WR3/flex option this week. Hopkins has scored four of his five touchdowns with the Kansas City Chiefs, meaning he has a legitimate chance to score a touchdown every week. Fantasy managers will hope to see him in the endzone this weekend.
Dec 14, 2024 12:18 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 32 yards and a touchdown in the 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Hopkins saw a team-high nine targets on Sunday night but reeled in just four and averaged eight yards per catch. The veteran receiver was the only Chief to find the endzone against the stingy Chargers defense, demonstrating Patrick Mahomes' trust in him. Hopkins has provided a safe floor over his last three games and will look to continue that trend next week against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns rank 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, making them one of the more advantageous matchups. Hopkins has seen nine targets in the last two games, meaning Mahomes often looks in his direction. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable with Hopkins in their starting lineups.
Dec 9, 2024 10:31 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. The veteran receiver had four catches for 90 yards in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins and Patrick Mahomes connected for multiple chunk plays in Week 13 and will attempt to build on that chemistry this week against the Chargers. The Chargers rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, making them a relatively neutral matchup. The 32-year-old has displayed reliability as a pass catcher in this Kansas City offense and should continue to be heavily involved. That said, Travis Kelce is the player most likely to be fed targets in the passing attack, meaning Hopkins must be efficient with his opportunities to be fantasy-relevant. Hopkins is ranked WR30 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a WR3/flex option. Fantasy managers can start Hopkins in this matchup, but be aware that he has a low floor.
Dec 7, 2024 11:36 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 90 yards in the 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins also finished second on the team in targets with nine, behind only Travis Kelce. The Chiefs nearly lost this game, but the Raiders fumbled in the final minute to seal their fate. The veteran receiver had the longest reception for the Chiefs, hauling in a 34-yard reception in the final minute of the second quarter. Hopkins has been a reliable option for Mahomes to turn to since his arrival in Kansas City, despite dropping a pass on a crucial third down in this game. The 32-year-old will look to continue being effective next week against the Los Angeles Chargers, who rank 13th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite how often Patrick Mahomes chooses to spread the ball around, Hopkins should continue to be a valuable fantasy asset as the Chiefs WR1. Fantasy managers should continue to fit Hopkins into their starting lineups.
Nov 30, 2024 4:32 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Hopkins performed well against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12, finishing the game with five catches for 35 yards and a touchdown. The score saved his week, but fantasy managers likely want to see more volume. The 32-year-old will look to turn it around this week against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Travis Kelce has been the focal point of the Kansas City passing attack, leaving the rest of the pass catchers to split up the remaining pass attempts. Given his talent and reliability, Hopkins should remain an option in the red zone forward. Hopkins is ranked WR32 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week. Fantasy managers should start Hopkins as a WR3 this week based on his matchup and touchdown upside.
Nov 28, 2024 2:22 PM EST

Hopkins finished second on the team in catches and tied for second in targets in this contest. The 32-year-old averaged just seven yards per catch, meaning he was utilized closer to the line of scrimmage. Hopkins will look to improve his stat line next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite being seventh in points allowed, the Las Vegas defense just gave up 97 yards and two touchdowns to Courtland Sutton in Week 12. Fantasy managers should be excited to see what kind of performance Hopkins will put up on Black Friday, especially with Patrick Mahomes playing better lately.
Nov 25, 2024 4:06 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Hopkins had limited success in last week's 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The veteran receiver reeled in three catches for 29 yards in the team's first loss of the season. Hopkins will be in a more favorable matchup this week against the Panthers, who rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. The Panthers defense is much more beatable than their fantasy points allowed would suggest since most teams do not need to pass very much against them. Hopkins should be capable of producing a great fantasy performance in this week's matchup. The 32-year-old is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a low-end WR2/WR3 option against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Hopkins in this matchup despite his inconsistent usage.
Nov 23, 2024 2:49 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught three passes for 29 yards in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs were handled their first loss of the season in this contest, and their veteran receiver was held in check. The Buffalo defense was considered a formidable unit to throw on coming into this game, which proved true. Hopkins finished the game with four targets, tied with Travis Kelce and Samaje Perine for the second-most targets on the team. The Chiefs spread the ball around in this contest, and the veteran receiver had diminished production because of that approach. Hopkins will look to turn it around next week against the Carolina Panthers, who rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Fantasy managers should feel more confident starting Hopkins next week in a more favorable matchup.
Nov 17, 2024 8:19 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Hopkins was listed on the injury report this week with a knee injury but practiced in full all week. The veteran receiver has been removed from the injury report and will be ready for the AFC matchup. Hopkins had an average performance against the Denver Broncos last week, catching four passes for 56 yards in the contest. The presence of Patrick Surtain II limited his upside, but Hopkins displayed what he could achieve with Mahomes in Week 9. The 32-year-old caught eight passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. This week, Hopkins will have to face the Buffalo Bills defense, which ranks eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Considering the strength of both defenses, it may be a difficult matchup, but Hopkins can still be a difference-maker for fantasy managers. Hopkins is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, placing him as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3. Fantasy managers should find a way to get him into their lineups this week.
Nov 15, 2024 4:42 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had four catches for 56 yards in the 16-14 win against the Denver Broncos. Hopkins was third on the team with five targets in this contest. The Chiefs narrowly escaped with the victory on a game-sealing blocked field goal by Kansas City. Hopkins did not produce as he did against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, but he was still the undisputed WR1 for the Kansas City passing attack. Hopkins will look to produce in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills, who rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. It will be a tough matchup for the veteran receiver, but he's talented enough to produce with Patrick Mahomes throwing him the ball. Fantasy managers should view Hopkins as a low-end WR2 heading into a tough matchup against the Bills.
Nov 10, 2024 4:47 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will match up against the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Hopkins had a strong performance in his first full game as a Kansas City Chief last week. The veteran receiver hauled in eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 9 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are among the most favorable matchups for wide receivers, but Hopkins will not be so fortunate this week. The Broncos rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, so Hopkins will likely have less success in this matchup. Hopkins will often face All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II in this contest, limiting his upside. That said, Hopkins is ranked WR18 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR ranking this week. Fantasy managers should start Hopkins as a mid-tier WR2 this week despite the matchup.
Nov 9, 2024 4:02 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught eight of nine targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the 30-24 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hopkins was significantly more involved in his second game with the team, as he was second in targets amongst Chiefs pass catchers. Only Hopkins and Travis Kelce received more than five targets for Kansas City in this contest. The veteran receiver proved a trustworthy target for Patrick Mahomes as the two connected for a 35-yard completion on a crucial third down. Hopkins will look to continue his success against the Denver Broncos next week. The Broncos rank fourth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, so it will be a difficult matchup for Hopkins. The Chiefs receiver will likely face Patrick Surtain II often in next week's matchup, which could limit his fantasy success. That said, Hopkins looks like a top target for Mahomes in the passing game, which bodes well for him moving forward.
Nov 5, 2024 4:44 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. The Chiefs acquired the star receiver last week via trade with the Tennessee Titans. His limited time with the team led to limited snaps in last week's contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins only played 32% of the snaps against the Raiders, so he will be more involved in this upcoming matchup. The Buccaneers rank 28th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, so Hopkins should have no trouble producing against them. His role in the passing attack remains to be seen, but the Chiefs traded for him, so he will likely be a key piece moving forward. Given the uncertainty of his target share and limited rapport with Patrick Mahomes, Hopkins is ranked as WR35 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week. Hopkins should step into the Chiefs WR1 role and find his way into fantasy lineups as a WR3/flex play this week.
Nov 2, 2024 10:48 PM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught two passes for 29 yards in the 27-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopkins joined the Chiefs this week after being traded from the Tennessee Titans. Hopkins was being eased into the offense, considering his lack of knowledge of the Kansas City playbook, but he will be more involved moving forward. The Chiefs traded for the veteran receiver, and Andy Reid is among the best at scheming plays for his playmakers, so fantasy success should be on the horizon. The height of Hopkins' ceiling in this offense is still unknown, but he could be successful as soon as Week 9. The Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank 28th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Hopkins could be in for a big game with such a favorable matchup. Hopkins should be viewed as a high-upside flex play until we see a more defined role for him in the Kansas City offense.
Oct 28, 2024 4:32 AM EST
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will make his team debut against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Head coach Andy Reid officially confirmed that the veteran wideout will play this weekend. The Chiefs offense has been crushed by injuries, so they made a move and acquired Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans. Hopkins has been quiet with only 15 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown this season, but should see an immediate boost playing with Patrick Mahomes. It's worth noting that it's a new system and playbook for Hopkins, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be fantastic right away. He should be a fine flex option against a struggling Raiders defense.
Oct 25, 2024 2:26 PM EST
The Kansas City Chiefs' plan is to get newly acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (leg) ready to play this Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, according to sources. It's still early, though, and the Chiefs will know more about Hopkins' availability later this week. The Chiefs gave up a conditional fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for Hopkins after JuJu Smith-Schuster aggravated his hamstring injury in the Week 7 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Smith-Schuster won't play in Week 8. The Chiefs have also lost both Rashee Rice (knee) and Marquise Brown (shoulder) for the year, so it felt inevitable that they'd trade for receiver help as they look to become the first team to three-peat in the NFL. The 32-year-old Hopkins was dealing with lower-leg soreness at the end of the Week 7 contest, but it's considered minor. Nuk's fantasy value receives a massive boost with this trade.
