Should You Start or Sit DeAndre Hopkins in Week 7?

The usage metrics look fine (over 28% on-field target share in three consecutive games with an aDOT that is in line with his career average), but if 2024 has taught us anything, it’s that not all targets are created equal.

The future Hall of Famer has just one top-40 finish on his résumé this season, and without Will Levis showing tangible signs of development, why would we expect things to change in a meaningful way?

Hopkins and Calvin Ridley are both in the middling WR4 discussion, which is not enough to matter in anything but the deepest of formats.
