Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Antonio Gibson

Saturday, September 20, 9:49 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has played well enough for fantasy managers this season. While he's only logged 28 offensive snaps, the fourth-highest mark at the position on the team, he has made the most of his limited opportunities. In the Week 1 narrow loss to the Buffalo Bills, the 33-year-old secured both of his targets for 35 yards and a score. Hopkins had just as many receptions versus the Cleveland Browns while adding another touchdown to his resume. With Zay Flowers the top wideout on the depth chart, it appears the No. 2 spot is unofficially up for grabs. Although Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace are still in the equation, Hopkins has done enough to at least earn flex consideration in deeper fantasy formats for the Week 3 meeting with the Detroit Lions.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Brian Hines of SBNation. Gibson was dealing with an undisclosed issue, but everything appears to be all good with him health-wise. The 2020 third-round pick had a solid first season in New England in 2024, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 9 yards per reception. With the addition of 2025 second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson, along with the presence of Rhamondre Stevenson, Gibson will likely be reduced to a backup role behind them.
