WR DeAndre Hopkins, BAL (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Eminence
- Start date

Welcome aboard. He’s my WR1 in my dynasty superflex & I'm psyched about the deal. Houston playcalling has just been abysmal, and AZ should be airing it out plenty. Hopkins is just too good to ignore as much as HOU seemed to ignore him last year.

Sometimes end of year numbers don’t reflect game flow.
not all targets are created equally. Watson running for his life chucking up a ball into triple coverage is a “target”.
Hopkins wide open in the end zone while Watson tried to force the ball to a TE was “ignored”.
yes, he had a lot of targets. They weren’t making Hopkins the focal point of the offense. That Texans offense lacked identity.
If you say so, I see a guy who had 8 or more targets in 15 of 16 weeks and doubled up any other receiver on the team.

And again: not all targets are the same. That’s why it’s important to watch the games.
until you accept that premise we have no middle ground upon which to meet in this discussion, so we can simply agree to disagree.

I mean, sure they “could”.
I’m convinced that some of these are just random quotes players throw out that beat writers run with.
seems like a favorite sport is digging Hopkins grave, which seems bizarre to me give his age & ability.
dude is 28, and he’s still a beast. Fitz is no spring chicken & if Kirk was all that they probably wouldn’t have gone out and gotten Hopkins.
of the 3 I’d say Hopkins has the best shot at a monster season. I agree more wugh the quote from Kingsbury above this one. Houston was a weird offense last year. They didn’t run the ball well, they didn’t use Duke for checkdowns or screens, despite a poor pass protecting OL. Hopkins had a ton of targets, but a lot of them were balls thrown over his head of into double coverage.
I’m excited to see how AZ utilizes him in a wide open pass-happy offense. So long as Murray continues to develop, Hopkins could be in for a big year.
if they all get 1k I wouldn’t be shocked, but I don’t see that as validation of that last point re: Hopkins ADP dropping. If it does I’ll happily grab him as a 2nd round bargain.

@Hot Sauce Guy - I agree that I don’t see Larry Fitzgerald hitting 1k yards as he’s a 10.7 YPC guy over the last three seasons:
Larry Fitzgerald career stats
He would need to have 90-95 catches to be at 1k and I just don’t see that happening.

Before Watson got to Houston there was a narrative that Nuk was QB-proof because his production showed as much. That his talent was transcendent *enough* to still put up elite WR fantasy numbers. And he did.
So if he was QB-proof before Watson arrived then why exactly would we think he is going to regress (significantly) with Murray and that AZ passing offense?
I think the odds of him having a gigantic season (or more than one) outweigh the odds that he regresses below a WR1.

@Joe Bryant @David Dodds
TDCommish has found a huge error. All three projectors have Hopkins in the top 8 yet consensus projections have him at 34. Somebody needs to hop on this stat.

For sure, the best thing to do if you see an error is to tag me. Please don't just post it without the tag. I see a tiny fraction of what's actually posted each day. Tagging me will help me see it faster.
By far though, the fastest and by far best way is to send an email to bryant@footballguys.com and help@footballguys.com

He wants to be a GM after he retires from playing which is part of the reason he negotiated his own deal.

You can always PM or email me (lastname@footballguys.com). Thanks for helping us catch that one as I had been projecting him with the wrong ID unknowingly in the preseason, too.

I'd be stunned if he sat. This dude played through a sprained ankle and put up 10/170/2 a couple years ago.

Hopkins is officially a go today per Ian Rapoport
