DeAndre Hopkins Reunion With Texans Not Expected

Friday, August 21, 11:56 AM

A return to Houston apparently isn't in the cards for free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The Texans are looking around for receiver help after losing Jayden Higgins for the season, but Aaron Wilson reports that they aren't expected to pursue a reunion with Hopkins. The 34-year-old spent his first seven NFL seasons in Houston, though things look much different now. Hopkins joined Georgia Tech's staff as an assistant wide receivers coach earlier this month after catching 22 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns with Baltimore last season. He hasn't officially retired and made a point of saying so after taking the coaching job. That leaves open the possibility of playing again somewhere, just apparently not with the team that drafted him. There isn't much reason for fantasy managers to count on any 2026 production.

Malik Nabers' Fantasy Stock Keeps Sliding

Friday, October 2, 6:46 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has been one of the bigger disappointments through three games. After opening the season with six catches for 69 yards against Dallas, he has totaled just six receptions for 27 yards over the last two weeks. The Giants have still looked his way 10 times in that span, so this is not a case of Nabers disappearing from the offense. The problem is what those chances have turned into. Jaxson Dart is out for the rest of the regular season with a knee injury, and Jameis Winston managed only 118 passing yards without a touchdown in last week's win over Tennessee. New York has since added J.J. McCarthy, but Winston remains the starter for now. Nabers is still the clear top receiver here, and his shoulder is no longer on the injury report. Even so, the combination of a cold two-game stretch and an unsettled quarterback situation has pushed his fantasy value down heading into Sunday's matchup with Arizona.
