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.

Malik Nabers "Hopefully" Will be Ready for Training Camp

Tuesday, February 24, 12:54 PM

The New York Giants are hoping that wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is ready for training camp this summer, according to Paul Schwartz of The New York Post. "I've been texting with him the last couple of days, and he's in a good spot, he feels good, and the plan is hopefully for him to still be ready for training camp," general manager Joe Schoen said when asked about Nabers' rehab. The Giants are going to be cautious with the 22-year-old former first-rounder, but all signs point to him being ready to go for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall, barring a setback. Nabers suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee on Sept. 28 and had surgery in late October. He was a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2024, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games. Nabers' fantasy stock will only continue to rise this offseason if he proves he's healthy this summer. If fully healthy, he'll have a higher ceiling as a WR1 with quarterback Jaxson Dart taking over the offense going forward.
