TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Buffalo Bills

Over the last few weeks, DeAndre Hopkins has been more productive than Calvin Ridley. Hopkins' four catches in Week 6 are two more than Ridley has in his last three games combined. But between the tough matchup against the Bills and the constant struggles of quarterback Will Levis, Hopkins is a deeper flex play at best in Week 7.

TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Following his 6-73-1 line in Week 3, Hopkins took a step back, in part due to the quarterback play in Week 4, with a 2-31 line. With a limited passing game and Calvin Ridley still on the other side, Hopkins' fantasy value is capped with a low ceiling. He's just inside our top 40 at the position for this week.

TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

It's almost hard to believe DeAndre Hopkins is entering his 12th NFL season. Nuk isn't the explosive receiver he once was but he can still put up numbers. He caught 75 passes for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. That was good for a WR25 finish. However, as our John Paulsen notes, Hopkins was around WR15 during the eight games in which Will Levis was the starter. Levis is now the full-time starter and the Titans could be throwing the ball more under new head coach Brian Callahan, a good sign for Hopkins.

Fantasy Downside

Of course, there is a new (and expensive) kid in town in Calvin Ridley, who will take targets away from Hopkins, who is entering his age-32 season. Will Hopkins' connection with Levis carry over from last season? Plenty of questions about the offense.

2024 Bottom Line

The offense has more upside with Callahan calling the shots and an improved offensive line to protect Levis. That should provide plenty of work for Hopkins, but with Ridley and Tyler Boyd in the mix, Hopkins should be viewed as a WR3 with WR2 upside.

TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Houston Texans
DeAndre Hopkins took a step back in terms of statistical production with Ryan Tannehill under center in relief of Will Levis. Hopkins only saw four targets from Tannehill, catching two of them for 20 scoreless yards. The good news is Levis is off the injury report and will start in Week 17 against the Texans. Hopkins was regularly seeing double-digit (or close to it) targets from Levis before his injury. The Houston pass defense is nothing to be afraid of, and the Titans are four-point underdogs on the road meaning they may have to throw more than usual this week. Hopkins will still dominate passing volume amongst the Tennessee pass catchers despite last week's poor showing, which makes him a solid flex option or low-end WR2 if you're in a bind for Week 17.

TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Seattle Seahawks
DeAndre Hopkins has had a productive stretch recently with rookie Will Levis under center, but the Titans will have to turn back to Ryan Tannehill in Week 16 with Levis dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Hopkins' 28.7% target share ranks 10th in the NFL for receivers, and he's finished as a WR2 or better in three of his last five games. The insertion of Tannehill into the starting lineup is an unwanted disruption of recent trends, but Hopkins will get to face off with a Seahawks secondary that is below-average in most metrics and could be missing stud rookie CB Devon Witherspoon on Sunday. Hopkins has more uncertainty than usual with the Titans' current QB situation, but his projected volume is undeniable and does enough to get him into the flex conversation for the fantasy playoffs.

TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Houston Texans
DeAndre Hopkins continues to hog the targets in Tennessee as he saw 12 more against the Dolphins. Although he only caught five of those, Hopkins was efficient with his touches by racking up 75 yards and a touchdown. Hopkins ranks fifth in the NFL in total air yards this season and has a robust 28% target share. While he is not catching a ton of balls, Hopkins is getting targets deep down the field and in the red zone which have kept him afloat as a legitimate starting option in fantasy. Now Hopkins gets a Texans defense that has had serious issues slowing opposing passing games this year and just got shredded by Zach Wilson. Hopkins ranks as a solid WR2 for fantasy this week.

TEN WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Miami Dolphins
The only consistent part of the Titans' passing offense, DeAndre Hopkins logged another 12 targets in Week 13. He only caught five of those, but one of them went for a touchdown and he still reached 75 receiving yards due to his consistently robust aDOT (14.6, good for 8th deepest at the position). The Titans' targets are concentrated towards Hopkins and he frequently sees looks deep down the field from Will Levis. While this setup can lead to inconsistency, it also leads to some big performances when things click. Hopkins will likely have to carry a heavy workload this week as the Titans try to keep pace with the Dolphins' explosive offense. Hopkins works as a low-end WR2 or flex option in Week 14.
