Tennessee Titans wide receiver caught three touchdown passes last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Prior to that game, he had yet to find the end zone this season.
Hopkins ended up on the injury report with a toe issue that limited him in practice this week, though. Could he be in danger of missing Thursday night's contest?
Read on for the latest injury updates for Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins heading into Week 9.

Is DeAndre Hopkins Playing In Week 9?
The timing couldn't be worse. Coming off of his best game of the season, Hopkins landed on the injury report. What would that mean for his Week 9 availability?
Hopkins might have missed practice on Wednesday and he might still carry a questionable tag, but reports are that Hopkins is good to go on Thursday night when his team takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Consider Hopkins an upside WR2 play. While he's unlikely to find the end zone three times like he did last week, his rapport with new starting QB Will Levis gives Hopkins more upside than he had earlier in the season.
Should I Start Treylon Burks for Fantasy Football Week 9
With Hopkins limited by injury, the next man up for the Titans was likely going to be Treylon Burks, who returned to the field in Week 8 and played 51% of Tennessee's snaps.
Now that Hopkins is good to go on Thursday, should fantasy managers still consider Burks as an option? The Titans passing attack has improved with Levis, right?
Considering Burks was targeted just twice last week and failed to bring either pass in, he's not high on the fantasy radar this week. Burks is RotoBaller's WR54 in half-PPR rankings, a number that reflects both the added upside with Levis under center and the reality that Burks disappointed in Week 8.
