DeAndre Hopkins Questionable For Week 1
3 months agoTennessee Titans veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, according to head coach Brian Callahan. Hopkins was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday and will now be a game-time decision on Sunday morning. The good news for fantasy managers that are considering using the 32-year-old in their starting lineups as a WR4/flex this weekend is that offensive coordinator Nick Holz said on Thursday that the Titans expect Hopkins to have a big role on offense if he does suit up. Still, Nuk's questionable status makes him more of a shaky WR4/flex option entering Week 1 action. If he doesn't end up getting the green light on Sunday, it will mean more targets for Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo. UPDATE: Hopkins practiced for a third straight day on Friday, but he's expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday. "He's gotten plenty of work," Callahan said of Hopkins. "He's worked in individual (periods), and he (got) his team reps. It's more about the conditioning, making sure he's ready to go play."
