DeAndre Hopkins Not a Trustworthy Option in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 11:19 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has essentially been invisible for fantasy managers outside of the first two weeks. Of course, missing Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been part of the issue, but he only averaged two targets per game with Jackson. While the Chicago Bears defense is susceptible to some big passing plays, there have been too many receivers getting targets for Hopkins to be a consistent option. Plus, there's a chance Jackson doesn't play one more week and Tyler Huntley takes over under center. Fantasy managers can avoid Hopkins this week.

Kayshon Boutte Carries High Ceiling Into Week 8 Against Browns

Saturday, October 25, 9:21 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte continues to be an intriguing WR3/flex option as he showcases his big-play ability at the NFL level. Boutte had a quieter stretch of games earlier in the year, but he broke out with two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Saints. Now, he has seven catches, 148 yards, and three touchdowns over his last two games. He will look to carry his momentum and upside into Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. Fortunately for Boutte, Cleveland has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to perimeter receivers, giving the third-year receiver a chance to shake his defender and score more touchdowns. Managers playing in deeper leagues or dealing with bye weeks can certainly justify Boutte as a WR3/flex this week.
