DeAndre Hopkins

DeAndre Hopkins caught 5-of-6 targets for 36 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 15 win over the Browns.

Hopkins’ 36 yards were actually his second most of the past five weeks, which tells you where he’s been at in fantasy of late. Hopkins has had the decency to furnish a 4-5 catch floor, but it’s coming with zero ceiling. That briefly appeared to change Sunday when Hopkins seemed to have a 40-plus yard grab to get the Chiefs inside the Browns’ five-yard line early in the third quarter, but replay review quickly revealed the ball hitting the ground. Now the question becomes Patrick Mahomes’ (ankle) status for Week 16. Mahomes seems like he could play if it were a must-win game, but the Chiefs feel unlikely to view it that way. Either way, Hopkins will be struggling to crack the top 36 for the fantasy semifinals.
