DeAndre Hopkins Not a Trustworthy Option in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 11:19 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has essentially been invisible for fantasy managers outside of the first two weeks. Of course, missing Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been part of the issue, but he only averaged two targets per game with Jackson. While the Chicago Bears defense is susceptible to some big passing plays, there have been too many receivers getting targets for Hopkins to be a consistent option. Plus, there's a chance Jackson doesn't play one more week and Tyler Huntley takes over under center. Fantasy managers can avoid Hopkins this week.

Andrei Iosivas a Sleeper to Watch vs. Steelers

Thursday, October 16, 10:43 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas struggled in his first game catching passes from Joe Flacco in Week 6, recording just one reception for five yards and dropping three passes in the loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite the poor performance, Iosivas continues to see strong usage, playing 81% of the offensive snaps and lining up in the slot on 64% of those plays (fifth-highest rate in the NFL). With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, there's a chance Iosivas' role in the passing game could expand in the coming weeks. The Bengals face a Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 7 that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Iosivas needs to clean up his drops, but his snap share and slot usage make him a deep-league dart throw in a favorable matchup.
