Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Jakobi Meyers

Saturday, November 23, 2:49 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Hopkins had limited success in last week's 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The veteran receiver reeled in three catches for 29 yards in the team's first loss of the season. Hopkins will be in a more favorable matchup this week against the Panthers, who rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. The Panthers defense is much more beatable than their fantasy points allowed would suggest since most teams do not need to pass very much against them. Hopkins should be capable of producing a great fantasy performance in this week's matchup. The 32-year-old is ranked WR23 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a low-end WR2/WR3 option against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Hopkins in this matchup despite his inconsistent usage.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver will face a tough coverage test when his team takes on the divisional rival Denver Broncos in Week 12. Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II has been lockdown this season, though Meyers did just fine in their last matchup in Week 5, catching six of nine targets for 72 yards. He may need to rely on garbage time again to produce well, though -- and possibly staying away from Surtain, though that might not happen. The Broncos just dominated the Atlanta Falcons 38-6 in Week 11. The star CB held WR Drake London to three catches for 61 yards in that game, despite the plethora of garbage time. Meyers is a risky WR3/FLEX in PPR leagues for this matchup.
