DeAndre Hopkins Hard to Trust in Week 15

Saturday, December 13, 12:03 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is coming off of his lowest snap share of the season in Week 14 and his third time producing a goose egg. Head coach John Harbaugh talked about getting Hopkins more involved, which is like listening to a broken record at this point. Rashod Bateman (ankle) is currently listed as questionable, so Hopkins does have a chance to move up in the depth chart. While the Cincinnati Bengals' defense has been the butt of a lot of jokes, they've only allowed 15.13 fantasy points per game to opposing receivers over the last four weeks. That combined with being fourth or fifth in the target pecking order make Hopkins hard to trust. Especially with a WR83 projection in RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Raiders Agree With Jalen Nailor on Three-Year Deal

Monday, March 9, 4:31 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Jalen Nailor on a three-year, $35 million deal that includes $23 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Nailor had a bigger role the last two seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, combining for 57 catches on 95 targets for 858 yards and 10 touchdowns over 34 games (15 starts) the last two years. The 27-year-old won't be asked to be a top wideout in his new home, but he should at least be a top-three pass-catcher in Vegas, barring another big acquisition at the position in free agency. The former sixth-rounder's fantasy football arrow is definitely pointing up now that he should have a clearer path to consistent targets after being overshadowed by both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in Minnesota. Nailor's connection with the expected No. 1 overall pick, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, will go a long way in determining how big a role he'll have in his new digs. For now, he's an interesting sleeper at wideout to consider this fall.
