News: 2 days agoHopkins brought in four of five targets for 56 yards in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Spin: Hopkins finished third in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while facing a talented Broncos secondary. The veteran wideout has already demonstrated solid chemistry with Patrick Mahomes since arriving in Kansas City, particularly over the last two games while posting a combined 12-142-2 line on 14 targets. Hopkins should once again play a key role in the air attack during a Week 11 road showdown against the Bills.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hopkins is entering his 12th NFL season, but he hasn't shown serious signs of aging just yet. Last season, Hopkins posted his highest yards per catch since his first All-Pro effort in 2017. The days of triple-digit reception totals are likely in the past, but a concentrated Titans offense could still afford him well over 100 targets working with a big-armed second-year QB in Will Levis. There is always a degree of risk investing in a receiver in his age-32 season, although it's reasonable to note Hopkins wins at the catch point with a mixture of guile and hands that remains rare at the position. Given the track record, don't be surprised by another solid WR2 showing found at WR3 pricing, though note that Hopkins is expected to miss the first few games of the season due to injury.
