Amidst some talk about a trade and/or a contract extension, Tennessee Titans veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins sounds like he wants to stay with the Titans in 2024 and beyond. "I take it day by day. I love Tennessee. I love what Miss Amy's doing. This is the happiest I've been with any organization. I'll let that speak for itself," Hopkins said. The five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro wideout recorded the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career in 2023 in his first year in Tennessee and also recorded seven touchdowns in 17 games. The 32-year-old veteran wasn't as productive deep down the field for the Titans last year, though, and the addition of wideout Calvin Ridley is going to take valuable aerial targets away. This should be a pass-happy offense under new head coach Brian Callahan, but Hopkins' fantasy stock is down entering 2024, and managers should consider him as more of a WR3/4.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is entering the second year of a two-year, $26 million deal that he made look like a bargain after bouncing back in 2023. In the spring, Hopkins removed pictures and affiliations featuring team logos from his social-media accounts, but he was around and joined quarterback Will Levis and other receivers on a trip to work and have fun this offseason. It remains to be seen if the Titans will try to extend Hopkins before the start of the 2024 season. It's not an easy decision for a 32-year-old wideout. If the Titans don't give him an extension, they could lose Hopkins just as he and Levis and this Brian Callahan offense starts to click. The Titans should throw more this year, but Hopkins' age, Levis' inexperience and the addition of Calvin Ridley are all reasons to doubt whether he can have another productive season in 2024.
DeAndre Hopkins Snags Seven Passes In Win Over Jaguars
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught seven of his 10 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Week 18 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hopkins notably earned a $500,000 bonus for reaching 75 receptions on Sunday. He also secured a $1 million bonus for reaching 1,050 receiving yards. It was a great day for the veteran, and his season will come to a close with a total of 75 catches for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns. Assuming he's in Tennessee next year, he'll continue to operate as the clear No. 1 wide receiver -- presumably for quarterback Will Levis.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins eclipsed 1,000 yards for the seventh time in his career last week, and he has incentives in his contract to monitor in Week 18. The veteran will earn $250,000 each for reaching 75 receptions (he has 68), 1,050 Yards (he has 1,011), and eight touchdowns (he has six). With $750,000 on the line, he should be expected to play a full complement of snaps and aim for a nuclear performance to close out the 2023 season. The Jacksonville Jaguars have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, so he'll have that chance. However, his ceiling is lower if Ryan Tannehill starts in place of an injured Will Levis (foot). Consider Hopkins a boom-or-bust option for Sunday's AFC South contest.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hauled in just four passes for 41 yards over the last two weeks, but he rebounded in the Week 17 loss to the Houston Texans. The former Texan caught all seven of his targets for 72 yards. Although it wasn't a monster performance for the former All-Pro, it was a solid showing for PPR fantasy managers. He also secured the seventh 1000-yard season of his career on Sunday. He'll face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18, but the team could be without Will Levis (foot).
DeAndre Hopkins Has Wide Range Of Outcomes In Week 17
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has caught just four of his 13 targets for 41 yards over the last two weeks. In Week 16, he was targeted just four times by Ryan Tannehill, but he could be getting Will Levis (foot) back in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. Levis has provided a boost for Hopkins' fantasy outlook this year, so he could be due for a bounce-back performance. If the rookie signal caller plays on Sunday, Hopkins has WR1 upside. Amari Cooper just torched the Texans for 265 yards and two scores. Although that kind of game is unrealistic to expect from Hopkins, he has a clear path to a high-volume day. If Tannehill starts, Hopkins is still on the fantasy radar, but his floor and ceiling take a hit.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught just two passes on four targets for 20 yards in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Hopkins' best fantasy performances of the year have come with rookie Will Levis (ankle), so his letdown performance with veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill wasn't surprising. If Tannehill starts in Week 17 against the Houston Texans, Hopkins still has fantasy upside, but his floor seems to be much lower.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has had a ton of upside in games with Will Levis (ankle), but Levis might be out against the Seattle Seahawks due to a high-ankle sprain. In six games with Ryan Tannehill, Hopkins averaged 10.8 PPR points per game. In eight games with Levis, he has averaged 15.4 PPR points per game. Those are significant splits, so if Levis is out, Hopkins will have a flower floor and ceiling. All that said, Hopkins is still likely worth starting against a Seattle defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins posted just two receptions for 21 yards on nine targets in the Week 15 overtime loss to the Houston Texans. It was a disappointing performance for Hopkins, who has been the overall WR6 since Will Levis took over the team's offense in Week 8. Unfortunately, Hopkins has a boom-or-bust outlook due to the low floor of Tennessee's passing attack. Levis appeared to have suffered a lower-body injury late in this contest. If Levis can't play in Week 16, Hopkins could have a lower floor and ceiling catching passes from Ryan Tannehill against the Seattle Seahawks.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is set to face his former team in Week 15. Hopkins spent seven seasons with the Houston Texans before a stint with the Arizona Cardinals. Houston presents a favorable matchup for wide receivers, so he is a must-start fantasy option after recent success. Since Week 8 when rookie Will Levis took over for Ryan Tannehill, Hopkins has hauled in 30 of his 60 targets for 522 yards and six touchdowns. He is the overall WR6 in half-PPR formats since Week 8. Zach Wilson shredded the Texans for 300-plus passing yards last week, so Levis and Hopkins could be in for huge days in an important AFC South contest.
