Is DeAndre Hopkins Hurt Or Healthy?
After missing the first six games of the 2022 season due to a PED suspension, Hopkins has returned to action with a vengeance. He quickly amassed 396 receiving yards and two TDs over four games with the Cards. The veteran's volume has been off the charts, as he's averaging 11.5 targets per game since returning to the lineup.
The 30-year-old wideout popped up on Arizona's injury report this week with a hamstring issue. Hopkins was a DNP in Thursday's session but did get in a limited practice on Friday. Cardinals' head coach Kliff Kingsbury described Hopkins' lack of participation as a maintenance situation, per CardsWire.
DeAndre Hopkins Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 11
Maintenance or not, Hopkins' injury designation is certainly concerning for his fantasy managers as Monday night's matchup against the Niners looms.
If there is a silver lining for worried Hopkins managers, it's that he did manage to practice in a limited fashion on Friday. This likely means that he'll be able to suit up against San Fran, despite his current injury designation.
This development does put fantasy GMs in a tough spot due to Arizona's slot on Monday Night Football. Hopkins managers will need to monitor the situation throughout the weekend. Hopefully, we'll get a clear picture of his Week 11 status well before Monday, but those with the stud WR on their rosters should be prepared to think on their feet. If he's active, Hopkins is a lock-and-load fantasy starter against the Niners.
