DeAndre Hopkins Fantasy

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (foot, shoulder) said he played through more pain in 2018 than at any time in his six-year career. He played through a nagging foot injury and a serious shoulder ailment in the playoffs and finished with 115 catches for 1,572 yards and 11 touchdowns for first-team All-Pro honors for a second straight season. "I was dealing with serious injuries a lot of people would have sat down for. But we had a good team that depended on me, and I never gave a thought to not playing unless the doctors told me I couldn't," Hopkins said. He said he tore ligaments completely off the bone in the playoff loss to the Colts, but he's been rehabbing in the offseason and expects to be ready for training camp. Hopkins will be a first-round pick as one of the top wideouts off the board.

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught 12 passes for 147 yards in Houston's Week 17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hopkins has three consecutive games with 100 or more yards heading into a first round playoff matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, who held Hopkins to 36 yards in Week 14. Hopkins will be one of the top DFS options during the first weekend of the playoffs, but he does present some risk after seeing how well the Colts contained him in the last meeting.

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught nine passes for 104 yards in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was his second consecutive game with over 100 receiving yards. Houston will need to rely on Hopkins even more in Week 17 against the Jaguars with wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) out, though it's not the best matchup for Hopkins, who had 50 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting of the season. Jacksonville will devote a lot of attention to shutting down Hopkins, but his target share and potential to snag a red zone score makes him a must-start fantasy option.

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle), who was questionable to play in Week 16 against the Eagles, tested his ankle in pregame warmups and gave the thumbs up. He will suit up on Sunday. In an excellent matchup against Philly's soft secondary, Hopkins is a must-start elite WR1, even if he's not fully 100 percent healthy.

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle), running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Friday and are all listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Eagles. They were limited in practice all week. Head coach Bill O'Brien said Miller could play against Philly but was non-committal about his status. He's trying to play through a sprained ankle and will be more of a low-end RB2 for this weekend. Alfred Blue and D'Onta Foreman would likely handle backfield duties if Miller was inactive. Hopkins is expected to play and will be a strong WR1 in a great matchup. Coutee has missed the last three games and has only suited up in six games all year due to hamstring issues. Even if he's active, he can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.
