Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Isaiah Bond

Thursday, October 30, 11:46 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins got everyone's hopes up after finding the end zone in each of the first two games of the season. Since then, he's only received more than two targets once and hasn't caught a touchdown pass either. To make things even tougher on fantasy managers wanting to start Hopkins, the Miami Dolphins are ranked as the toughest defense against opposing receivers, only allowing 25.84 fantasy points per game to the whole receiver group. Fantasy managers will want to look for other options outside of Hopkins if possible.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (undisclosed) suffered an undisclosed injury in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, which has kept him from practicing, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The head coach said that he will update the specifics of Bond's injury at a later time. We'll have a clearer picture of Bond's Week 10 status against the New York Jets once the Browns release their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. The 21-year-old wideout from Texas went undrafted due to off-the-field issues, but he was eventually scooped up by Cleveland. Bond so far has had a limited role on offense through his first eight NFL games, catching 11 of 30 targets for 123 yards and no touchdowns. His role could grow in the second half of the season, but efficiency is likely to be a problem with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel running the offense. As of now, Bond is questionable to be able to play in Week 10.
