Fantasy Impact:
With the Titans off to a 1-5 start and the Chiefs suffering season-ending injuries to WRs Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice, this is a connection many analysts made when it first looked like Hopkins could be available. As far as his fantasy value is concerned, this is a best-case scenario for the veteran WR. Kansas City has been piecing things together with rookie WR Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, and Skyy Moore. Assuming he can pick up the offense quickly, Hopkins should step in and immediately be one of the top options in the passing game for QB Patrick Mahomes. Hopkins was WR54 in the FantasyPros ROS Rankings before this trade, but this move should bump him all the way up into WR3 territory. In Tennessee, this should mean more opportunities for Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, but fantasy managers would be wise not to trust that Titans offense if they can avoid it.
