• Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Four catches in narrow win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Hopkins brought in four of five targets for 56 yards in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday. Hopkins finished third in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while facing a talented Broncos secondary. The veteran wideout has already demonstrated solid chemistry with Patrick Mahomes since arriving in Kansas City, particularly over the last two games while posting a combined 12-142-2 line on 14 targets. Hopkins should once again play a key role in the air attack during a Week 11 road showdown against the Bills.

• Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: WRs to Sit

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Hopkins is more of a bust alert than a must-sit receiver, but I don't like his matchup against the Broncos in Week 10. I would only start Hopkins in three-receiver leagues, especially if Hopkins gets matched up with Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II. Hopkins just had an amazing game in Week 9 against Tampa Bay with eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, but that's an easy matchup. Surtain should be able to frustrate Hopkins, much like he did with DK Metcalf (5.9 PPR points), George Pickens (4.9 PPR points), Mike Evans (3.7 PPR points) and Garrett Wilson (9.1 PPR points) earlier this season. Despite his big game in Week 9, I'm concerned about starting Hopkins in most leagues in Week 10.

• Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Unleashed in Monday's win

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Hopkins finished with eight receptions (on nine targets) for 86 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers. We finally got to see Patrick Mahomes utilize his new weapon following a full week of practice after last week's headline trade. Hopkins was exactly as advertised, taking over the top wideout role in Kansas City while posting a monstrous fantasy score in the final game of Week 9. The 32-year-old has seven 1,000-yard seasons under his belt, and he would likely cash in an eighth if he started the season with a quarterback like Mahomes dishing him the ball. Assuming the latter is healthy following his injury scare Monday, then Hopkins would remain a strong play against Denver on Sunday.

• Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Gains 29 yards in KC debut

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Hopkins had two receptions on three targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Las Vegas. Hopkins got eased in with his new club as expected, but he still made a mark on the box score with a pair of healthy receptions. The veteran No. 1 wideout might need a week or two to get fully integrated into head coach Andy Reid's complex scheme, but his fantasy stock undoubtedly trended upward following the move from Tennessee. Hopkins is worth rostering in all formats, with deeper-league managers likely starting the wideout against the Buccaneers next Monday.

• Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Active versus Raiders

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Hopkins is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Hopkins, whom the Chiefs brought in via a trade with the Titans this past week, practiced with his new team Thursday and Friday and headed into the weekend without a game designation. With his Week 8 active status confirmed, it remains to be seen what sort of workload Hopkins will see in his debut with Kansas City, though both Jay Glazer of FOX Sports and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggest that the veteran wideout will see his share of snaps Sunday in situations that he's been able to prep for on the fly. The expectation beyond that is that as Hopkins gains more familiarity with the Chiefs' playbook, he'll become more involved in the team's offense, thus bolstering a WR corps that has been hit hard by injuries.
