The Baltimore Ravens (1-5) will host the Chicago Bears (4-2) in Week 8. 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 8?
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 DeAndre Hopkins in Week 8?
DeAndre Hopkins is being used almost exclusively as a boundary receiver and is only on the field for 27.7% of Baltimore’s offensive snaps.
If that was all you knew and didn’t have a name next to the profile, you wouldn’t be even remotely interested. Hopkins has had a great career, and if the Ravens are going to pull this season out of the flames, he probably makes a few plays along the way. But when they come and how much impact they make in our fantasy world is TBD at best.
Hopkins has yet to reach 6.5 expected points in a game this season, and that doesn’t project as likely to change any time soon.
