BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was dealing with a knee issue to start the season, which explains his lack of production over the first two weeks of the 2024 campaign. In Week 1, Hopkins was targeted once, catching an eight-yard pass. In Week 2, the targets were up to two, but he still brought in just one of them for nine yards.

Hopkins looked much closer to his old self in Week 3 against the Packers as he was targeted seven times, catching six of those passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. That came despite Hopkins playing just 46% of the team's total snaps as he still works his way back.
If Hopkins is still on the wire in your fantasy football league, he needs to be added. He's set to be the top weapon for quarterback Will Levis, who finally showed some signs of life in the loss to Green Bay.
