The Baltimore Ravens (2-5) will visit the Miami Dolphins (2-6) in Week 9. 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 Hopkins Playing in Week 9?
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 9?
DeAndre Hopkins makes one play a week, and it can impact the Ravens, but it’s not doing anything for us.
The future Hall of Famer turned his only target last week into a 14-yard gain and is still searching for his first five-opportunity game of the season.
I suppose there’s a world that exists where Lamar Jackson returns and elects to take shots on a regular basis, but that’s based on zero information. Nothing we have seen lately would suggest that D-Hop is set to see his role expand, and that makes him a waiver-wire option in all formats.
