DeAndre Hopkins

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (questionable, knee) will play in Week 1 against the Bears.

Hopkins told reporters earlier in the week that he is dealing with a torn MCL and is attempting to play through it, with his ultimate snap rate likely coming down to pain management. Hopkins returned to limited practices this week after sitting out three weeks with an injury initially disclosed as a knee sprain. The fact that he tore his MCL does not instill confidence for the veteran pass-catcher to start the season, forcing fantasy managers to look for additional options if they are available.
