DeAndre Hopkins 2018 Outlook
Hopkins is one of the best offensive players in the game. He was a first-team Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro last year, and he led the NFL with 13 touchdowns, catching 96 passes for 1,378 yards after signing an $81 million contract prior to the season. Much like Andre Johnson -- his predecessor in Houston -- Hopkins has produced at a high level despite dealing with subpar quarterback play for nearly his entire time in Houston. We say nearly, because the exception was last season’s seven-game stretch with Deshaun Watson, who had an epic rookie campaign before he injured his knee. So while Hopkins has consistently played better than we all expected, there's reason to believe we haven't seen his ceiling. For the most part, Hopkins has relied on precise route-running, amazing hands and body control. He's also a physically tough and imposing player. As Bleacher Report put it, "He's the type of receiver that demands the ball even when he's covered." Think about his potential over a full season with Watson, who was on pace for 43 touchdown passes before he got hurt. Assuming the belief that Watson's rehab has him on track to open the season as the starter is correct, Hopkins is pushing into a tier created -- and, up to this point, manned exclusively by -- Antonio Brown. Hopkins is still the No. 2 behind Brown, but the gap is closing.
DeAndre Hopkins 2017 Outlook
Although they were abruptly thrown into the huddle together late last season during a win over Jacksonville (when Brock Osweiler was benched), Tom Savage and Hopkins displayed a lot of potential as a passing tandem. Targeted 15 times by Savage, Hopkins caught eight passes for 87 yards during the comeback victory. Those are the moments that Savage and Hopkins hope to replicate this fall. Despite the selection of DeShaun Watson in the first round of April's draft, Savage is the projected starter after Osweiler was traded to Cleveland. Hopkins was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2015 when he caught a career-high 111 passes for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns. His production dipped last season to 78 catches for 954 yards and four scores while dealing with erratic passing from Osweiler. Eleven of Osweiler's 19 interceptions, including the playoffs, occurred while throwing in Hopkins' direction. HC Bill O'Brien made it clear at the NFL scouting combine that he doesn't fault Hopkins for the receiver's statistical decline. Fantasy owners should do the same and take advantage of the value that's going to come in the wake of a disappointing season. That discount alone should be sufficient reason to roll with Hopkins this fall.
DeAndre Hopkins 2016 Outlook
As successful as Hopkins was with a career-high 111 catches for 1,521 yards and a franchise-record 11 touchdowns (third in the NFL in receiving yards behind the Falcons' Julio Jones and the Steelers' Antonio Brown), the first-time Pro Bowl selection is cognizant of a part of his game he'd like to upgrade. "There's a lot that I need to improve on, YAC, which I finished last in," Hopkins said. Hopkins finished with 201 yards after the catch to rank 118th among all NFL players. His former Clemson teammate, Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins, had 179 receiving yards after the catch. Both were dangerous as deep threats, though. Overall, Hopkins emerged as one of the top receivers in the NFL last season, averaging 13.7 yards per reception as the Texans' featured wide receiver after former Pro-Bowl wideout Andre Johnson left Houston to join the Indianapolis Colts. Hopkins averaged 11.7 targets per game over the season, catching 59.4 percent of them for over 1,500 yards. He generated 83 first downs while catching passes from four different quarterbacks. This year, the team hopes Brock Osweiler will be the franchise QB that allows Hopkins to cement his place in elite WR territory. Regardless, you’ll have to draft him as one, so plan accordingly.
