Entering his age-34 season, Hopkins will need to find a consistent role and consistent targets before being considered a viable Fantasy option. He should not be drafted outside of the deepest of leagues.
DeAndre Hopkins: On verge of move to coaching role
Rotowire
Hopkins is expected to join Georgia Tech's coaching staff, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.
Hopkins is apparently ready to hang up his cleats and pick up a clipboard, transitioning from playing wide receiver in the NFL into a coaching role in the college ranks. If Hopkins is indeed done playing in the NFL, the 34-year-old wide receiver would finish his career with 1,006 catches for 13,295 yards and 85 touchdowns in 195 regular-season games split between the Texans, Cardinals, Titans, Chiefs and Ravens.

DeAndre Hopkins: No longer on Patriots' sideline
Rotowire
Hopkins is no longer in camp with the Patriots in any capacity, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
Hopkins spent a few days on New England's sideline in a coaching capacity, but that stint has come to a close. The 34-year-old wide receiver said in June that he would like to play another season in the NFL, so Hopkins is presumably waiting for an opportunity to open up in camp somewhere. New England's deep wide receiver room probably isn't the best fit in that regard.

DeAndre Hopkins: In camp with Patriots as coach
Rotowire
Hopkins is attending New England's training camp in a coaching capacity, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel revealed Friday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Hopkins said earlier in the offseason that his preference is to play another season in the NFL, but the 34-year-old wide receiver may be starting to look for post-career contingencies as well. He had just 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns on 39 targets across 17 regular-season games with the Ravens in 2025. The Patriots' current WR corps features A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams and DeMario Douglas.

DeAndre Hopkins: In no rush to sign
Rotowire
Hopkins recently told SiriusXM NFL Radio that he's interested in playing another season but isn't in any rush to sign with a team.
Hopkins acknowledged that he's only a part-time player at this stage of his career, mentioning third downs and the red zone as areas where he can still contribute. He also said he doesn't especially care about playing in regular-season games and wants to help a contender make a playoff run. Hopkins turned 34 in June, after catching 22 passes for 330 yards and two TDs for the Ravens last season.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Plays depth role in Baltimore
Rotowire
Hopkins caught 22 of 39 targets for 330 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games in 2025.
The veteran joined the Ravens on a one-year deal in the offseason and started the season strong. He caught touchdowns in each of his first two games and was remarkably efficient through the first six weeks of the season; Hopkins caught nine of 13 passes for 178 yards and two scores in that span. His best game the rest of the way was four catches for 41 yards. In fairness, it was a topsy-turvy year for the Ravens offense as it had to navigate a Lamar Jackson injury, but Hopkins still only managed to play 33 percent of the snaps. Hopkins, who turns 34 in June, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: No catches vs Packers
Rotowire
Hopkins was held catchless on one target Saturday against the Packers.
Baltimore had a run-heavy game plan Saturday with 53 rush attempts compared to just 20 passes. Hopkins' snap share dipped relative to recent weeks when he'd been playing roughly one-third of the snaps; he played just 25 percent of the snaps against the Packers. Hopkins hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2 and has just one game with more than two receptions this season. Baltimore seems to have unlocked a new offensive philosophy that leans on Derrick Henry, so targets could be limited again in Week 18 whether it's Lamar Jackson (back) or Tyler Huntley under center.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Shows rapport with Huntley
Rotowire
Hopkins recorded four receptions on five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.
Hopkins has made a limited impact this season, though he emerged in the second half of Sunday's loss with Tyler Huntley under center. The duo connected on gains of nine, 16 and eight yards, resulting in Hopkins' highest yardage total since Week 5. Even if Huntley remains under center in Week 17 with Lamar Jackson nursing a back injury, Hopkins is likely to return to a minimal role in the Baltimore offense.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Makes splash play on one catch
Rotowire
Hopkins caught his lone target for a 32-yard gain Sunday against the Bengals.
The veteran wideout did not get a significant bump in snaps despite Rashod Bateman (ankle) being sidelined. Still, Hopkins made his one target count with a big 32-yard catch-and-run that helped set up a Baltimore touchdown. In all, he played just 13 offensive snaps for the second week in a row. Hopkins and the Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Held catchless in loss
Rotowire
Hopkins was held without a catch on one target Sunday against the Steelers.
Hopkins played just 13 snaps, his lowest total since Week 10. The Ravens leaned on two-wide sets featuring Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman while also deploying multiple tight ends along with fullback Patrick Ricard. That ultimately squeezed Hopkins out of the game plan Sunday. Hopkins has not drawn more than four targets in any game this season and has not scored a touchdown since Week 2. Baltimore plays at Cincinnati in Week 15.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Logs two catches Thanksgiving Day
Rotowire
Hopkins caught two of three targets for 25 yards during the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday.
With Rashod Bateman cleared to return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, Hopkins saw the field for just 23 of 60 offensive snaps (38.3 percent), which was ahead of Devontez Walker (17) and behind Zay Flowers (57) and Bateman (44). Hopkins has been held to two catches or less in each of the first 12 games of the regular season and has not hauled in a touchdown pass since Week 2 against the Browns. Hopkins and the Ravens host the Steelers in Week 14 on Sunday, Dec. 7, in a game that will carry major implications in the race to claim the AFC North division.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Held to two catches Sunday
Rotowire
Hopkins had two catches for 13 yards on three targets Sunday against the Jets.
The veteran had another healthy snap share Sunday with Rashod Bateman (ankle) sidelined. It didn't translate into a ton of opportunities, though, as Lamar Jackson only went to him three times. The two narrowly missed on a touchdown in the second half when Hopkins broke free of a defender, but the ball was slightly overthrown. Hopkins has played at least 50 percent of the snaps in the last two games, but his target count is not seeing the same relative bump. The Ravens' passing game as a whole is struggling of late, as Jackson has been held under 200 passing yards. Baltimore hosts Cincinnati on Thanksgiving this week.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Another quiet day against Browns
Rotowire
Hopkins had one catch for 11 yards on four targets Sunday against the Browns.
It was an inefficient day for Hopkins, who stepped into a starting role with Rashod Bateman sidelined. The veteran wideout played a season-high 41 snaps and drew four targets for the second week in a row. In fairness, Lamar Jackson was not sharp Sunday due to the weather in Cleveland and was constantly under duress, as he went just 14-for-25 for 193 yards and two picks. No Raven had more than three receptions. Hopkins gets a softer matchup in Week 12 against the Jets, so he could be on the radar in deeper leagues if Bateman is out again.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Minimal production in win
Rotowire
Hopkins caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.
Hopkins played just 27 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps Sunday while continuing to operate as Baltimore's No. 3 wide receiver. The veteran has failed to catch more than two passes in a game this season and has not found the end zone since Week 2. Hopkins is not being used enough in the Ravens' offensive scheme to be trusted for fantasy relevant production. The 33-year-old will look to get more involved when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 11.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: No catches Thursday
Rotowire
Hopkins was held without a catch on one target Thursday against the Dolphins.
Though Lamar Jackson returned and the Ravens scored 28 points, Hopkins' impact was minimal. His snap count dipped back below 20 as the Ravens went with a heavy tight end rotation with Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar each playing over 25 snaps. Though Hopkins has been extremely efficient when targeted, he's not seeing steady enough opportunities to be a viable fantasy asset.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Recovered from illness
Rotowire
Hopkins (illness) practiced without limitations Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Hopkins will be available Sunday, and he could be joined by Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable but appears to be tracking toward returning after putting in a full practice Friday. Hopkins began his Ravens tenure with a two-game touchdown streak but hasn't recorded more than two receptions in a game this season.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: DNP due to illness Thursday

Hopkins (illness) didn't practice Thursday.
Hopkins' status at Friday's practice will bear monitoring. If Hopkins recovers in time to face the Bears on Sunday, his upside will be tied to the availability of quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who has opened the week with consecutive limited practices.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Playing time trending up
Rotowire
Hopkins had two catches for 20 yards on four targets Sunday against the Rams.
Baltimore's passing game was limited under the direction of Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley on Sunday, but an underlying detail from the game was Hopkins' playing time ticking up. Hopkins played a season-high 26 snaps, which was good for 33 percent of the plays. He also had a season-high four targets. Baltimore is on a bye Week 7, but given that Hopkins has been excellent on a per-target basis (13.7 YPT), it would not be surprising to see his role continue on an upward trend, especially when Lamar Jackson (hamstring) returns.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Impresses on limited opportunites
Rotowire
Hopkins caught both of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.
Despite the Ravens' offensive struggles Sunday, Hopkins still capitalized on his opportunities. Hopkins has been one of the more efficient receivers in the NFL this season with seven catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, but he'll struggle to deliver meaningful fantasy value if he continues to handle a part-time role. His 11 snaps on offense Sunday were more of the same, as he hasn't topped 20 snaps in a game this season.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Held catchless in loss
Rotowire
Hopkins failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Hopkins was a complete non-factor Sunday, failing to record a single catch while playing just 18 of the Ravens' 54 offensive snaps. The veteran wideout's one target was his lowest total of the season after seeing two targets in each of the first three games. Despite his stature as a five-time Pro Bowl selection, Hopkins isn't seeing consistent enough volume to be relied to be relied upon for fantasy purposes.

Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Playing time remains light
Rotowire
Hopkins caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Monday's loss to the Lions.
The veteran's snap share remains low despite his per-target productivity. Hopkins has caught five of six targets for 112 yards and two touchdowns through three games. He logged 14 snaps Monday, which amounted to just a quarter of the Ravens' offensive plays while Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace each played over 50 percent of the snaps. While Hopkins has shown he can still play at a high level so far, the low projected snap and target volume make him a difficult player to feel confident starting in redraft leagues.
