DeAndre Hopkins Fantasy Football Outlook (2023)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 1st 2023, 10:36am EDT

DeAndre Hopkins missed the first six games of the season due to suspension and the final two weeks with a knee sprain, but when he was on the field, he proved he hadn't hit the age cliff yet. Hopkins was the WR9 in fantasy points per game last season, drawing a 29.4% target share (fourth-best) and 43.5% air-yard share (second-best). Hopkins can still draw volume with the best of them, but his efficiency did tick down a bit as he was 17th in yards per route run and 35th in open rate (tied with Christian Kirk, per ESPN analytics). Hopkins landing in TEN isn't as sexy as BUF or KC would have been. Expecting WR2 production out of him this season, regardless of the the Titans run-first offense, isn't insane.
