The Baltimore Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR DeAndre Hopkins.
Is DeAndre Hopkins Playing in Week 13?
Hopkins is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Ravens’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Hopkins in Week 13?
The good news is that Hopkins matched a season high in receptions on Sunday against the Jets, and that Zay Flowers was the only Raven with more catches in the victory.
The bad news?
It only took two catches to check those boxes.
This offense is begging for a player to step up next to Flowers in the pass game, but until we see someone (even one of the TEs) actually do it, we can’t justify playing any of the players in that mix.
For the record, I think both tight ends are more likely to score fantasy points in a given week than Hopkins, and that leaves him outside of my rosterable tier. This is obviously as good as things get.
