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.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones couldn't find much success on the ground during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jones rushed 19 times for 58 yards in what ended up being a loss for Minnesota. However, Jones was able to help his value with two receptions for an additional 37 yards through the air. It wasn't a stellar outing for Jones, but the 19 carries are the most for him since Week 4. Jones figures to bounce back on the ground with a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts next week. He should be able to get back to his RB1 form in that one.
