- DeAndre Hopkins has been among the leading WRs in the league since the start of last season, averaging an impressive 80.0 yards per game while grading out in the 96th percentile.

Cons

- Opposing offenses have averaged 31.9 pass attempts per game versus the Los Angeles Chargers defense since the start of last season: 9th-least in football.
- THE BLITZ projects DeAndre Hopkins to be much less involved in his offense’s air attack this week (24.0% projected Target Share) than he has been since the start of last season (30.0% in games he has played).
- The Tennessee Titans O-line ranks as the worst in football since the start of last season in pass protection, which has a harmful impact on all passing offense stats across the board.
