Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Tre Harris

Thursday, July 24, 4:04 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (undisclosed) did not practice on Thursday after landing uncomfortably on a catch attempt on Wednesday, according to team reporter Jonas Shaffer. However, head coach John Harbaugh said the reason for his absence was an "abundance of caution," so this should not be viewed as a serious situation. Hopkins, who has 178 career games played on his resume, is likely to be in and out of practice throughout training camp and during the regular season. The team will opt to be smart with the 33-year-old in an attempt to keep him fresh and healthy through a 17-game season and the NFL playoffs. The five-time Pro Bowler appears to still have some ability left in the tank, but it would be a surprise if he's a consistent fantasy producer in a run-heavy offense led by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. He will likely be behind at least Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews in the target pecking order.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris got more opportunities with the first-team offense in training camp practice on Wednesday with Jalen Reagor out with an undisclosed injury, but The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that Harris was inconsistent. Meanwhile, rookie fifth-round wideout Keandre Lambert-Smith elevated his stock the most on Wednesday, making a couple nice adjustments on underthrown deep balls from quarterback Trey Lance. He missed most of the practices in the spring with an injury, but Lambert-Smith is healthy now and has an intriguing mix of deep-field speed, natural hands and elite body control. Ladd McConkey is the clear WR1 in L.A.'s passing attack, but Harris, Lambert-Smith and Quentin Johnston will all be battling for targets behind him this summer. Harris has gotten off to a slow start, but it's still early.
