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.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry scored a late touchdown to continue his scoring streak and salvage his day for fantasy managers. The King ended with 73 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. He also hauled in his lone target for four yards. This game looked bleak for the offense as a whole while they failed to convert on many third downs and the Browns got out to a second-half lead. Luckily, Henry punched in a goal-line score near the end of the fourth quarter to deliver a borderline RB1 performance. He'll look to get back to his big outputs against the Denver Broncos in Week 9.
