DeAndre Hopkins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is active for tonight's game vs. the Packers. He carries added risk after missing practice all week and coming into this one listed as questionable. But we haven't heard anything about Hopkins being limited tonight.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Packers tonight, "barring any pre-game setbacks," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hopkins didn't practice on this short week and is listed as questionable, but we never sensed much concern about his status. He's a strong fantasy play tonight vs. a Green Bay secondary missing top CB Jaire Alexander.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Packers. He didn't practice all week. Hopkins has a long history of playing through ailments, and we haven't sensed much concern from Cardinals beat writers. HC Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Hopkins "might be a game-time decision" but added that he "fully expects him to play," per The Arizona Republic's Bob McManaman. We'll get Arizona's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow. Unless we hear that he'll be limited, an active Hopkins will remain a must start.

Today's Cardinals-Browns game is expected to see 20 mph sustained winds with gusts around 30 mph. We saw a couple of windy games in Cleveland disappoint for fantasy purposes last season. Today isn't quite as windy as those, but the passing and kicks games still figure to be impacted. We certainly wouldn't be benching guys like Kyler Murray or DeAndre Hopkins. But use the weather as a tiebreaker if you're considering more fringy passing-game options from these teams.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury tested positive for COVID and will miss Sunday's game vs. the Browns. QB coach Cam Turner is also out after testing positive. Kingsbury is an offensive-minded coach and Arizona's play caller, so it's notable news for QB Kyler Murray and the rest of this offense. We're not adjusting our projections for the Cardinals offense, but the situation adds downside risk.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (illness) isn't listed on the final injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday but put in a full practice on Friday. Hopkins should be ready for his usual role in Sunday's game vs. the Browns.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (illness) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. We usually don't worry about guys missing time with illnesses, but it's a different climate with COVID. ESPN's Dan Graziano reported earlier today that the Cardinals have had 3 positive COVID tests this week. To be clear, we don't know that Hopkins is 1 of them. We'll get another update on his status by Friday afternoon at the latest.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) returned to practice on Thursday. He's going to play Sunday vs. the Rams -- but between the rib injury, his slow start and a matchup vs. CB Jalen Ramsey, Hopkins looks like just a WR2 for Week 4.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. He sat out all 3 practices last week before playing 91% of the snaps vs. Jacksonville. But Hopkins mustered just 3 catches on 6 targets for 21 yards. We're fully expecting him to play against the Rams this weekend, but consider Hopkins more of a WR2 until we know he's healthy.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was a game-time decision and carries added risk in Week 3 fantasy lineups. Of course, Hopkins still boasts WR1 upside -- especially in this plus matchup.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that a source had this to say about Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins' chances for Week 3: "Pretty confident he will play, but not 100 [percent he will]." We'll have to watch Hopkins right up until game time. And his injury will add risk even if he is active for the game. Keep that in mind as you're making your lineup decisions. We'll update the situation if we get more details closer to kickoff.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) will be a game-day decision for Sunday's tilt with the Jaguars, HC Kliff Kingsbury said Friday. Hopkins didn't practice all week. He's missed just 2 games over his 8-year NFL career, so we wouldn't count Hopkins out of this one yet. We should get an update on his status on Sunday morning. Hopkins' absence would turn WRs Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore into near every-down players, alongside WR A.J. Green.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. We've yet to see any real concern about Hopkins' Week 3 status, but make sure to check back tomorrow afternoon for another update.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins did not practice on Wednesday and is listed with a rib injury. That's all we know right now. Hopkins played his usual allotment of snaps in last week's win over the Vikings, so this might just be a maintenance day. Check back tomorrow for another update.
