Signs Of Life From DeAndre Hopkins

DeAndre Hopkins Headshot

Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins caught six of seven targets for 73 yards and a score in the Week 3 loss to the Packers. The targets, catches, and receiving yards all led the team. The TD was vintage Hopkins: A contested grab before fighting through his defender into the end zone.

Hopkins seems to be over his August knee injury at this point and is back to playing a full slate of snaps.

The issue going forward is QB Will Levis, who had another rough outing. He threw for 260 yards and two TDs -- but also tossed two INTs, lost a fumble, and took eight sacks. This Titans offense, including Hopkins, will not hit its ceiling unless Levis cleans it up. Backup QB Mason Rudolph is not a better option.

That said, if Hopkins continues drawing a target share north of 20% like he did in this one, he'll have a chance to deliver WR3 numbers.

Next up is a fine matchup against the Dolphins before a Week 5 bye. That's followed by a plus draw vs. the Colts.
