Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been able to make some nice plays this year and has lived up to his status as a former first-round pick. Through seven games, Hopkins has caught 31 passes for 474 yards and three touchdowns. He's topped the 100-yard receiving mark twice and he's established himself as a play-making deep threat as showcased by his 15.3 YPC average. His numbers are even more impressive when you take into consideration that Andre Johnson is still the No. 1 receiver and eats up a sizable number of targets every game.
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 8: DeAndre Hopkins an upside start
DeAndre Hopkins is putting together a promising sophomore campaign. Can he keep the momentum going in Week 8?

Fantasy Impact: Hopkins is coming off a 6/108 line in Week 7. That was the bounce-back performance that owners hoped to see after he dropped his only dud of the season in Week 6 (one catch for 12 yards). There is no reason to think that Hopkins can't keep it going against the Tennessee Titans and their middle-of-the-pack secondary in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Owners should start Hopkins as a WR3 with plenty of upside for more.
