The Baltimore Ravens will host the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. 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.

Should You Start or Sit DeAndre Hopkins in Week 2?
The highlight reel catch in a game that’ll be remembered for years to come was fun, but I don’t find it all that predictive.
Opportunities are going to be difficult to come by in this offense (if you watched on Sunday night, outside of the fumble, Derrick Henry was building a solid case to just hand him the ball 100% of the time) and that’s only going to be more true when Isiah Likely returns.
Don’t forget that the Chiefs brought Hopkins in the middle of last season and by the playoffs, they saw the future Hall of Famer catch three balls in three games. He was a good story in Week 1, but I’m not in any hurry to scoop him off of waiver wires right now.
