Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Ezekiel Elliott

Saturday, November 15, 8:00 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins could be on the docket for some added targets in Week 11 with Rashod Bateman (ankle) officially sidelined. Hopkins hasn't really seen many targets since the first two weeks of the season, but he did show he still has the ability to make some tough catches in traffic when needed. Their opponent, the Cleveland Browns, is one of the tougher units against opposing receivers, though. They allow 30.12 fantasy points per game to opposing receiving groups with a total of 1,118 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hopkins is still projected outside of the top 50 at receiver despite Bateman missing the game, so he would be quite the dart throw option as a flex, even in deeper leagues.

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed running back Ezekiel Elliott on Monday. The former first-round pick will get a chance to compete for a Super Bowl this season. The Chargers are lacking depth at the running back spot, so the addition of Elliott does make sense. The three-time Pro Bowl back might play a minimal role during Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Houston Texans. This season, Elliott rushed for 226 yards on 74 carries with three touchdowns in 15 games with the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old brings knowledge and leadership, but he hasn't rushed for over 1,000 yards since 2021. This is a depth move that gives the 29-year-old a chance to win a Super Bowl.
