Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Joshua Palmer

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.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is questionable to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer has been limited in practice all week and is up in the air to make his return this weekend. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week 6, so even if he gets the green light to suit up this Sunday, he won't be guaranteed significant snaps on offense as WR depth behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman. Palmer hasn't made much of a fantasy impact in his first year in Buffalo to begin with, catching 14 passes for 234 yards and no touchdowns in six games played. Shakir is really the only wideout in Buffalo that is worth weekly starting consideration through nine weeks in 2025.
