DeAndre Hopkins Fantasy

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught two passes for 17 yards and a touchdown on Houston's first series during Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. Hopkins continued to show good rapport with quarterback Deshaun Watson and reminded fantasy owners why he's the first wide receiver being drafted in most leagues. Notably, Houston ran a sharp, sped-up offense that could provide Hopkins with additional playmaking opportunities if it carries over to the regular season.

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) has been removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list and is available to start practicing. Ultimately, Hopkins missed just one day of training camp, so any worries that fantasy owners had about Hopkins' health seem to be a thing of the past. He's arguably the first wide receiver who should be taken in fantasy drafts this year and while Hopkins dealt with a variety of small injuries last season, they didn't slow him down.

While Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) and defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) are starting training camp on the PUP list and will be unable to practice, their stays on those lists are expected to only last a few days. Both players are expected to return to practice soon, and while it would be a surprise if either player takes the field during the preseason, both will be fine for Week 1. Hopkins has a chance to finish as the overall WR1, while Watt is one of the most valuable IDP defensive ends in the NFL.
