Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins' development has taken 'a major step'

ESPN

In his second season since being drafted in the first round, Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins' development seems to have taken a major step. The sure-handed leaping catches he made so often in college are becoming a staple of training camp.

Hopkins' issues last season weren't based so much on ability as they were on precision. He seems on the right track this season. Andre Johnson said it's clear Hopkins is playing with a lot of confidence, something that's critical for a receiver. What's even better is that his chemistry with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is improving regularly.

Fantasy Impact:

Hopkins finished as the #50 WR in 2013, posting 52 catches for 802 yards and two touchdowns, a solid season for a rookie wideout playing along an established veteran like Andre Johnson. He should continue to progress in his second season, but is dealing with a new offense and a new QB, so there are no guarantees.

The Texans were wearing shorts and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick still hasn’t played in a preseason game with his new team.

But Sunday’s scrimmage marked Fitzpatrick’s best practice to date, with the veteran quarterback smoothly snapping off quick passes and showing strong initial command of his new offense.

Fantasy Impact:

WR Andre Johnson and RB Arian Foster didn't participate so Fitz didn't even have all his weapons. WR DeAndre Hopkins did stand out though so that's a sign he could be building a connection there. Fitzpatrick is ranked just 29th on our QB list.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins looks really good Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

That's been the general feeling thus far out of Texans camp. Hopkins was #50 WR last year in his rookie season and should improve on that this season.

Bills WR Robert Woods took over during the 7-on-7 goal line drill to end practice on Wednesday. Woods ran his routes correctly, didn’t come back to the ball when he was near the goal line and displayed outstanding hands during his few reps. Woods first took a well-placed over the shoulder throw from EJ Manuel while a defender was draped all over the wide receiver. Woods simply reached out with his right arm, still getting his left arm dragged from behind and corralled the pass in for a touchdown. It was a gorgeous play.

Fantasy Impact:

Woods averaged 2.9-42-.21 in 14 games as a rookie, which translates to 46-671-3.4 if extrapolated to a full season. As it stands, he had the 5th-most receiving yards of any rookie in 2013. (His extrapolated total would have finished 4th, behind Keenan Allen, DeAndre Hopkins and Terrance Williams.) He should see starter’s snaps opposite rookie Sammy Watkins, but in a run-heavy offense with a mediocre (at best) quarterback, Woods isn’t a sure thing to be fantasy relevant (top 60) in 2014.
