HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
All the best WR in the game did in the opener at New Orleans last Monday was turn 13 targets into eight receptions, 111 yards and two TDs. While he had a case of the drops early on, DeAndre Hopkins was his stellar self for the rest of the game, with nearly half of Deshaun Watson’s looks going in his direction. Hopkins must be salivating to face a Jaguars defense that couldn’t slow down the Chiefs passing game last week.

HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New Orleans Saints
The No. 1 fantasy WR this week is DeAndre Hopkins. Do you need to know any more? He’s coming off career-highs in receptions and yards and has scored double-digit TDs in three of the past four seasons. The New Orleans defense had plenty of problems against the pass last year, so expect Hopkins to get off to a good start on Monday night.

HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
This just in: DeAndre Hopkins is good. He's super good. But it goes beyond that. He has a talented young quarterback in Deshaun Watson and gets a huge percentage of his team's targets. Better still, Hopkins makes the most of those targets. He comes off an impressive 2018 campaign, one in which the athletic wideout earned his second straight All-Pro selection and tied Andre Johnson's single-season franchise record with 115 catches. Unlike Johnson, Hopkins did it without a single drop. The former 2013 first-round pick's ability to haul in 105 catchable passes without a drop was a Pro Football Focus record (PFF has been keeping grades since the 2006 season). Better still, the overall production has been consistently high-end. Hopkins has only had two seasons in his six years in the NFL where he has not reached over 1,000 receiving yards (a feat achieved without the greatest of quarterbacks until Watson came along).

Fantasy Downside
Reaching here, but it's certainly possible the healthy return of Will Fuller (coming off an ACL) and Keke Coutee (coming off a rookie season that's more notable for lingering hamstring issues than consistent production) could cut into Hopkins' targets.

2019 Bottom Line
According to PFF, over the 2017 and 2018 seasons, Hopkins has a combined 649.3 points in PPR -- the next receiver that is even remotely close is Antonio Brown with 638.2 points. With an improved offensive line and Watson still under center, 2019 should be another elite year for Hopkins. Expect to pay accordingly.

HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 18 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card vs. Indianapolis Colts

In the first contest versus the Colts this season at the end of September, DeAndre Hopkins went off for 10 receptions for 169 yards and a TD. However, in the home loss to Indianapolis just a month ago he was held to four grabs for 36 yards but managed to find the end zone again. Hopkins was on a roll down the stretch, registering three 100-yard games to close out the regular season. He will remain a huge part of the Texans offense in the playoff game Saturday.

HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Deshaun Watson threw for over 300 yards last week in the loss at Philly, with DeAndre Hopkins having another good day. On 12 targets he caught nine passes for 104 yards, the sixth time this season he’s cracked the century mark. In Week 7 at Jacksonville Watson completed only 12 passes but Hopkins totaled 50 yards and a TD. He needs to remain in your starting lineup as he’ll continue to see plenty of looks, especially without Demaryius Thomas.

HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Philadelphia Eagles

It was just another DeAndre Hopkins big performance last Saturday against the Jets. In the win, Hopkins torched the New York defense for 10 catches, 170 yards and two TDs. He leads the league with 11 receiving scores and has a good matchup versus the Eagles injury-plagued secondary. Hopkins is dealing with a sore ankle himself but will be fine and should remain in your lineup.

HOU WR DeAndre Hopkins - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at New York Jets

The Colts held DeAndre Hopkins to a season-low 36 yards on four receptions last week, but the WR was able to score his ninth TD of the season in the loss. With the Texans having success on the ground lately, Hopkins is averaging only 64 yards per game over the past four. However, he has a decent matchup versus the Jets No. 16 ranked pass defense on Saturday. There’s no question Hopkins should be included in your starting lineup.
