DeAndre Hopkins

DeAndre Hopkins missed the first six games of the season due to suspension and the final two weeks with a knee sprain, but when he was on the field, he proved he hadn't hit the age cliff yet. Hopkins was the WR9 in fantasy points per game last season, drawing a 29.4% target share (fourth-best) and 43.5% air-yard share (second-best). Hopkins can still draw volume with the best of them, but his efficiency did tick down a bit as he was 17th in yards per route run and 35th in open rate (tied with Christian Kirk, per ESPN analytics). Hopkins' 2023 prospects are muddied with his next destination up in the air, but expecting WR2 production out of him this season, regardless of the landing spot, isn't insane.

According to the Athletic, DeAndre Hopkins is unlikely to sign with the Buffalo Bills. Three executives within the NFL believe that the Bills do not have the cap space to sign Hopkins.

Fantasy Impact

Hopkins is the top free agent wide receiver available and has numerous teams that are interested in signing him. Barring a move to shed cap space, the Bills likely will not land Hopkins heading into the 2023 season.
