BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins should be viewed as a solid WR2 heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Since joining Kansas City in Week 8, Hopkins has struggled to find consistency. In his debut, he was eased into action and caught only two passes. However, the following week, Hopkins showcased his elite upside as he tallied 28.6 PPR points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, this past weekend against the Denver Broncos, the veteran wideout tallied just 9.6 PPR points.
Before joining Kansas City, Hopkins averaged just 6.1 PPR points through the first seven weeks of the season in Tennessee.
Despite the inconsistent showings, fantasy managers should view Hopkins as a low-end WR2 as he will continue to be deployed as the No. 2 pass-catching receiver in the Kansas City offense. Facing a high-octane Buffalo offense, the Chiefs may need to rely on their passing attack to keep up with them, which set up Hopkins for a nice bounce-back showing.
