Just how good is DeAndre Hopkins? Here were his weekly points from last year's subscriber contest...
18.50, 14.30, 14.60, 26.70, 27.20, 9.90, bye week, 36.40, 20.60, 18.10, 17.60, 19.50, 16.00, 37.90, 18.00, 16.50
You can't get much more consistent than that, huh? What's even more amazing - This was with 3 different QB's. Tom Savage - 7 games, Deshaun Watson - 6 games, and TJ Yates - 3 games, but you can't tell by looking. But that's not all, oh no it isn't.
The Texans finished at 4-12, and had a mediocre at best running game. Nuke had 174 targets - the next highest was 57. Nuke had 1378 yards - the next highest was 423. Defenses knew Nuke was gonna get the ball, and they couldn't stop him. I remember one play last year against SF when they rushed 3, and dropped 8 back to blanket him... and he still made the catch! OK, I may be going a bit overboard now.
