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.

Despite Kirk Cousins throwing for 276 yards and four touchdown passes on Sunday, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was not a beneficiary in the 31-26 win over the Bucs. The 23-year-old caught four of six targets for 34 scoreless yards. It was the first time he failed to find the end zone since Week 4, but it was also the seventh straight game in which the 6-foot-4 wideout garnered at least six targets, so he should have no problem bouncing back. The former first-round draft pick will get an opportunity to do so next week when the Falcons take on a weak Cowboys defense in Atlanta.
