Signs Of Life From DeAndre Hopkins

DeAndre Hopkins Headshot

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins caught six of seven targets for 73 yards and a score in the Week 3 loss to the Packers. The targets, catches, and receiving yards all led the team. The TD was vintage Hopkins: A contested grab before fighting through his defender into the end zone.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Hopkins seems to be over his August knee injury at this point and is back to playing a full slate of snaps.

The issue going forward is QB Will Levis, who had another rough outing. He threw for 260 yards and two TDs -- but also tossed two INTs, lost a fumble, and took eight sacks. This Titans offense, including Hopkins, will not hit its ceiling unless Levis cleans it up. Backup QB Mason Rudolph is not a better option.

That said, if Hopkins continues drawing a target share north of 20% like he did in this one, he'll have a chance to deliver WR3 numbers.

Next up is a fine matchup against the Dolphins before a Week 5 bye. That's followed by a plus draw vs. the Colts.
