Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Unleashed in Monday's win
DeAndre 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
DeAndre 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
DeAndre Hopkins is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.Hopkins, whom the Kansas City 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.

Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: All facets but 10-15 plays
DeAndre Hopkins will play in all facets of Sunday's game against the Raiders, but he was introduced to 10-15 different plays, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Coach Andy Reid cited that he had Hopkins for only two days when discussing the number of plays introduced.This report doesn't necessarily conflict with Ian Rapoport's earlier report that Hopkins could play significant snaps, and that Hopkins was 'given all that he could handle.' After all, what is considered 'significant' can be interpreted widely, and plays aren't necessarily the same thing as snaps.

Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: 'Significant snaps' expected Sunday
DeAndre Hopkins is expected to play "significant snaps" in his Kansas City Chiefs debut Sunday against the Raiders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.After being acquired from the Titans, Hopkins officially joined the Chiefs on Thursday and got in two practices with his new team before being cleared to play Sunday. According to Rapoport, the Chiefs "gave him as much as he could possibly handle" from the playbook once he reported to the team, and the coaching staff is apparently comfortable having him handle a big role right off that bat. Rapoport adds that Hopkins' snap count should only increase in the coming weeks once he settles into his new organization, but the 32-year-old looks like he could still operate as Patrick Mahomes' No. 1 wideout right away in Week 8. Over his six games with Tennessee, Hopkins recorded just 15 catches for 173 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets, though he'll benefit from a big upgrade in quarterback play in going from Will Levis (shoulder) and Mason Rudolph to a two-time league MVP in Mahomes.

Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Not on injury report
DeAndre Hopkins (lower leg) wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report.In his first practice with the Kansas City Chiefs, Hopkins, who was officially acquired from the Titans on Thursday, worked without restriction, signaling that he's past the lower-leg soreness he had coming out of Week 7. Though he'll practice with his new team only twice before Sunday's game against the Raiders, Hopkins has a chance to play this weekend, with Adam Teicher of ESPN.com relaying that head coach Andy Reid is open to the idea of using the veteran wideout right away.

Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Trade official
The Kansas City Chiefs acquired DeAndre Hopkins (lower leg) from the Titans on Thursday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick after the receiver passed a physical, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.As Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site points out, two areas where the addition of Hopkins should make the team better are in the red zone and on third downs. Titans head coach Brian Callahan had previously said that Hopkins was dealing with lower leg soreness coming out of a Week 7 loss to the Bills, but the receiver's ability to pass a physical suggests that the injury is not a major concern. In any case, Hopkins' practice activity will bear monitoring the next two days before he potentially makes his Chiefs debut this Sunday in Las Vegas.

Chiefs' DeAndre Hopkins: Headed to Kansas City
The Titans agreed to trade DeAndre Hopkins (lower leg) to the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Per Rapoport, the Titans will absorb $2.5 million of Hopkins' salary as part of the deal, and the fifth-round pick will become a fourth-round choice if Kansas City makes the Super Bowl and if the wideout plays 60 percent of the team's snaps. Hopkins was reported to be dealing with some lower leg soreness coming out of Tennessee's Week 7 loss to the Bills, but that's presumably a minor concern. If that's the case, Hopkins could debut with Kansas City as soon as Sunday against the Raiders. The addition of Hopkins could provide a major lift to a wideout corps that's been hit hard by injuries this season, and once the 32-year-old is up to speed with his new team's offense, he'll have an opportunity to emerge as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top pass-catching options.

Titans' DeAndre Hopkins: Trade to Kansas City in works
The Tennessee Titans are expected to finalize a trade Wednesday that sends DeAndre Hopkins (lower leg) to the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Per Rapoport, the deal that would send the veteran wideout to Kansas City is for a future fifth-round draft pick that can become a fourth-rounder, with Tennessee expected to absorb some of Hopkins' salary. The looming transaction is set to provide a major boost to a Chiefs wideout corps that has been hit hard by injuries, with Rashee Rice (knee) as well as Hollywood Brown (shoulder) on injured reserve and with JuJu Smith-Schuster currently sidelined by a hamstring issue. Assuming the lower leg soreness that Hopkins was contending with coming out of the Titans' Week 7 loss to the Bills doesn't affect his availability, the 32-year-old could make his debut with Kansas City on Sunday against the Raiders.

Titans' DeAndre Hopkins: Dealing with lower leg soreness
Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that DeAndre Hopkins is dealing with some lower leg soreness following Sunday's loss to the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans' official site reports.Hopkins played 60 percent of the offensive snaps against Buffalo, down from his 71 percent mark the previous week, and he finished the day with one catch for minus-2 yards on one target. It was a game to forget for the 32-year-old wideout. His practice reps could be limited some this week ahead of a Week 8 date with the Lions on Sunday.
