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.

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.

The Titans are finalizing a deal to trade WR DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Tennessee will get a fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder.

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. QB Mason Rudolph gets the start today but isn’t a recommended fantasy play in any format. Hopefully he can at least be a slight upgrade over Levis for WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.

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.

Titans HC Brian Callahan said Wednesday that WR DeAndre Hopkins' role should increase in this weekend's game vs. the Jets. Hopkins played just 17 snaps (27%) in the Week 1 loss to the Bears, coming off his summer knee injury.

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. We’re tentatively expecting Hopkins to play but projecting his playing time and effectiveness to be reduced coming off the knee injury. He’s ideally on fantasy benches for Week 1.

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. We'll see what Hopkins does in practice the next two days and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Titans HC Brian Callahan said Sunday that WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) should be back soon and is on track to be ready for Week 1, per ESPN's Turron Davenport. Hopkins went down a little less than three weeks ago with a knee injury that was expected to cost him 4-6 weeks. It sounds like he'll be back on the short end of that timetable.

Titans HC Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the deep connection between QB Will Levis and new WR Calvin Ridley hasn't gone great so far. "Missed too many of them early on ... it's not been a great start," Callahan said, according to beat writer Paul Kuharsky.

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins will not need surgery on his injured knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "A return at four weeks is likely (but not guaranteed)," Rapoport adds. "Would allow him to be ready for Week 1."

DeAndre Hopkins strained a knee in practice and "indications are he could miss four to six weeks," according to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky. He said it wasn't immediately clear when the injury occurred. ESPN's Turron Davenport shared a video of Hopkins going through individual drills with his left knee wrapped Wednesday afternoon.

Titans HC Brian Callahan said QB Will Levis has been "really impressive" through the first two days of training camp.

The Titans signed WR Tyler Boyd to a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Boyd is reuniting with new Titans HC Brian Callahan, who spent the past five seasons with Boyd in Cincinnati. Boyd went for a career-high 1,046 yards in Callahan's first season as Bengals OC back in 2019, but his yardage has declined each year since, bottoming out at 667 last year. Boyd's Pro Football Focus receiving grade has also been in decline. He ranked 63rd among 80 qualifiers last year.
