Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) did not practice all week and is out for Monday night's game vs. the Bucs.

Worthy and Hopkins both sit in WR3 range in the Week 9 Rankings.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler expects WR DeAndre Hopkins to have a "small menu of plays" in his Chiefs debut vs. the Raiders. Fowler notes that WRs Kadarius Toney and Mecole Hardman played 9 and 11 snaps, respectively, in their first games with the Chiefs after being acquired via in-season trade in recent years. Hopkins is a much better WR than either of those guys, so we're expecting him to play more snaps than that. But he's unlikely to play enough to make him a reliable Week 8 fantasy start. Try to keep him on the bench this week.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Friday that WR DeAndre Hopkins will “probably” play vs. the Raiders this weekend. Hopkins got in just two practices with his new team this week, so it’s safe to assume he won’t play a full slate of snaps if he does suit up on Sunday. We’d try not to use Hopkins in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. He might miss multiple games with a Grade 2 sprain of the AC joint in his right shoulder.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week coming off his late-July knee injury and is unlikely to be at 100% today. We’d try to not use Hopkins in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's expected to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Bears, but we're currently projecting his volume and efficiency to take a hit coming off the knee injury.
