DeAndre Hopkins Week 2 Outlook - Jaguars at Titans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:21am EDT

Holy targets, Batman! In his first game with Kyler Murray, Hopkins reminded everyone that it doesn't matter who his quarterback is. He caught 14-of-16 passes for 151 yards. He didn't score, though he came very close and was ultimately ruled down at the half-yard-line. That was against the 49ers. Now he'll go against the Washington secondary that lacks top-tier talent. While Hopkins is clearly going to remain in the elite conversation, we should see this offense even out a bit as the weeks go on, as Christian Kirk won't be simply forgotten. The matchup for him this week doesn't get much better than this though, as he'll see Fabian Moreau in coverage. A cornerback who's allowed a 70.2 percent catch-rate in his coverage over his three years in the league. He only came on the field in 3WR sets last week, which is the base for the Cardinals offense. Start Hopkins as the WR1 you normally would. He can be considered in cash lineups, too, because his average air yards were just 6.5 yards in Week 1, which means if they want to alleviate the pressure on Murray from this Washington pass rush, they will go to him early and often.
