DeAndre Hopkins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Tennessee Titans are trading star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (leg) to the Kansas City Chiefs for a conditional fourth-round pick. The Chiefs have been decimated with injuries at the wide receiver position, losing Rashee Rice (knee) and Marquise Brown (shoulder) out for the season. JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Hopkins immediately fills the void as Kansas City's No. 1 wide receiver and should immediately become one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top targets. Hopkins was having a down season, catching 15 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown over six games with the Titans. The 32-year-old is dealing with lower leg soreness, but the injury isn't severe enough to keep him sidelined. Hopkins is only rostered in 50% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and should be added in all leagues as the veteran wideout should see a boost in production as Kansas City's new No. 1 wide receiver.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said on Monday that wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (leg) didn't finish Sunday's Week 7 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills because he was dealing with lower-leg soreness. Hopkins caught his only target on the day for a loss of two yards and played only 60 percent of the offensive snaps. His injury probably isn't serious enough to keep him sidelined for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions, but don't be surprised if he's on the team's injury report this week. The 32-year-old Pro Bowler has now had just one catch in three of his six games for the Titans this year and has essentially become an afterthought in standard-sized fantasy formats with only 15 receptions for 173 yards and one touchdown in six games in his second year in Tennessee. Hopkins will continue to have limited fantasy appeal given the Titans' ugly QB situation between Will Levis (shoulder) and Mason Rudolph.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught one pass for minus two yards in the 34-10 loss to Buffalo. The veteran wideout was a ghost in this one, one receiving one target and failing to record positive yardage in the contest. It appeared that Hopkins was pulled from the game in the second half, standing next to head coach Brian Callahan with his helmet on when the offense was on the field for multiple stagnant drives. It was a strange situation that reeked of a possible benching to save Hopkins' trade value, but no official reports have been made on that matter. This marked the first time in three weeks Hopkins did not lead the Titans in targets and yards, but either way he is unplayable in fantasy until proven otherwise, or until he is traded to a new team.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins takes on a formidable Buffalo Bills defense in Week 7 this Sunday. The Titans passing attack reached a new low point this past weekend, as quarterback Will Levis threw for only 95 yards against a bottom-three pass defense. Hopkins was able to account for over 50% of Levis' passing yards which is somewhat promising for Hopkins managers, but with how out-of-sync this offense has looked to start the year it is not advisable to play any Titans pass-catcher in Week 7. The only silver lining here is that Buffalo may go up early which would force the Titans to throw the ball, leading to more opportunities for Hopkins. Even with game script potentially favoring the former All-Pro, he is still a high-risk, low reward start in Week 7.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 54 yards on six targets in a 20-17 loss against Indianapolis. The good news for Hopkins is this marked the third straight game that he has either led or tied for the team lead in receptions, yards, and targets. The bad news is this has led to a total of 12 receptions for 158 yards and one touchdown, with weekly finishes of WR16, WR68, and WR41. The Titans passing offense is in absolute disarray, seemingly getting worse on a week-to-week basis. If one pass-catcher on this team is playable in fantasy it's Hopkins, but the ceiling is extremely limited due to low volume and inconsistency. It does not get any easier from here, as Tennessee travels to Buffalo next week to take on the Bills and their stout secondary.
