Andy Reid confirmed Pacheco and Omenihu would not play against Bills but JuJu Smith-Schuster is likely to be a go

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Deandre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy

Hopkins has shown a good connection with Patrick Mahomes right out of the gate, so we should keep him in WR3 territory, even with Smith-Schuster back in the lineup. The other KC WR options are desperation boom/bust plays in Week 11.

JuJu Smith-Schuster won't play Sunday against Broncos for third straight game. No surprise since he didn't practice this week

Looks like it'll be another lost week for JuJu, which puts both Worthy (low) and Hopkins (high) on the WR3 radar against the Denver secondary.

Chiefs say that OT Ethan Driskell (illness) will return to practice Friday, as will CB Nazeeh Johnson (concussion). Kansas City says it will see where Johnson is at with an update post-practice.

WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) will once again be sidelined — he's likely to be down this week.

Looks like it'll be another lost week for JuJu, which puts both Worthy and Hopkins on the WR3 radar against the Tampa Bay secondary.

Andy Reid says WR JuJu Smith Schuster (hamstring) and DE Mike Danna (pectoral) won’t play Sunday vs Raiders. Deandre Hopkins likely will play.

We would put the odds quite high that Hopkins suits up, but it's fair to question how much he'll be involved right out of the gate. He's an interesting desperation play in Week 8, but with no byes, your team would really be banking on a high-risk, moderate-reward outcome. Worthy projects as a fringe WR2/3.

Sources: Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins is being traded to the Chiefs in exchange for a 5th rounder that can get to a fourth rounder. Deal is being finalized.

A key veteran who could be the final piece, Hopkins name has been hot in the trade market. Now, he lands with the champs.

Even with the un-serious looking Chiefs wide receiver room over the last few weeks, they have remained undefeated. Though Patrick Mahomes has been trending toward the worst statistical performance of his career, it's hard to see why the fans/team would care if they just glide to the Super Bowl again.

This is an obvious boost for Mahomes' fantasy aspirations and puts Hopkins back on the WR2 radar in good matchups. This is also a boost to Calvin Ridley, but his ceiling is still extremely capped with poor quarterback play in a terrible offensive environment.

Hopkins had just one catch for -2 yards in Week 7. Boyd and Ridley led the way with Hopkins hampered by the injury. To further complicate things, it's unclear who will start at QB for the Titans in Week 8, an earlier game at Detroit. Owners definitely want to monitor Hopkins' status leading up to the game. This is mostly an offense to stay away from in typical leagues.

This signing makes all the sense in the world with Brian Callahan at the helm. Boyd should have a decent fantasy floor, but he is the third option—at best—with Will Levis at the helm. Slotting him into a lineup in typical redraft leagues will be difficult.

The Titans are signing Jaguars star WR Calvin Ridley, completing their FA with a splash. The 29-year-old Ridley gets a 4-year, $92M deal with $50M fully guaranteed.

Calvin Ridley finished the 2023 season WR24 after being drafted WR14, so his first (and only) year with the Jaguars was a bit of a disappointment. Now he joins the Titans to play alongside DeAndre Hopkins with Will Levis at quarterback. The Titans have traditionally been pretty run-heavy, but new head coach Brian Callahan served as the offensive coordinator for the Bengals for the last five seasons. He didn't call the plays, but the Bengals were pretty pass-heavy in that span. (Cincinnati was second in pass rate over expectation in each of the last two seasons.) If Callahan brings those pass-heavy tendencies to the Titans, and Levis is up to the task, then Ridley and Hopkins could have productive fantasy seasons.

Burks is still dealing with a concussion, and is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 11. Hopkins remains the only fantasy option we should consider this week in the Titans' pass-catching group, as he looks to rebound from a 3-27-0 Week 10.

Titans’ WR Treylon Burks will not travel to London for Sunday’s game vs the Ravens and is out.

Burks will now miss his third straight matchup and is firmly on pace to be a disappointing draft-day selection. In a passing attack that is so often difficult to watch, DeAndre Hopkins is the only player we should be aiming for in fantasy.
