Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins wants big workload right away

DeAndre Hopkins wants nothing to do with being on a limited snap count.

The veteran wide receiver is back from his six-game league-mandated suspension, practiced on Tuesday and has made it known he wants to play. A lot. Right away, starting with Thursday night when the Hopkins is eligible to officially return for the Arizona Cardinals against the New Orleans Saints at State Farm Stadium.

"I've always been a guy who's in the game in the fourth quarter, I've never been a receiver to come out or attempt to come out. And I don't see that happening anytime soon," Hopkins said Tuesday, asked if can take the field and play a regular game.

Fantasy Impact: 

Normally it may be a good idea to wait out the situation as far as putting Hopkins right in your fantasy lineup this week, but with the loss of Hollywood Brown and the offense struggling, Hopkins may get the workload he wants Thursday night. If you waited out the Hopkins suspension and you're dealing with bye issues this week, Hopkins could be just what you needed.
