DeAndre Hopkins Looks Like a Player to Avoid in Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 2:19 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been limited to the lowest-usage role of his career so far in 2025, recording five catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets through four games. Hopkins has yet to play more than 35% of the offensive snaps in any of Baltimore's games. With Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) sidelined for Week 5, it will be tough to trust that backup QB Cooper Rush will be able to get Hopkins the downfield and end zone targets he needs to be effective. Additionally, the Ravens face one of the NFL's best pass defenses in the Houston Texans, who have allowed the second-fewest number of touchdown passes (three) in the league. Hopkins should be avoided by fantasy managers in Week 5.

Darius Slayton News

Darius Slayton Listed as Non-Participant in Practice on Monday

Monday, October 6, 9:32 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Monday's injury report. Slayton left late in New York's Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury and did not return. The Giants have a short week in Week 6 as they prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night, so it could be tough for Slayton to recover in time to play. The 28-year-old recorded three catches for 31 yards on six targets before getting hurt in New York's first full game without star wideout Malik Nabers (knee). If Slayton is sidelined for Week 6, Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt would likely see an uptick in targets.
