Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Tre' Harris

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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris saw his opportunities dwindle in Week 16, as his snap share fell from 85% to 46% following Quentin Johnston's return. While Harris remained efficient with four catches for 54 yards, he is now the third or fourth option in a low-volume passing attack. This Week 17 matchup against the Houston Texans is the worst possible environment for a rotational wideout; the Texans allow the fewest passing yards per game and rank second in completion percentage allowed. With Herbert expected to be under heavy pressure, targets will likely be concentrated among the primary starters or dumped off to running backs. Harris lacks the volume and matchup appeal to be a viable fantasy starter. He is a low-end WR5 and should stay on benches.
