There has been a lot of talk around Houston Texans Andre Johnson. Eagles cornerback Cary Williams said Johnson isn't the same anymore, which makes sense because he's having the worst year of his career.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: DeAndre Hopkins
DeAndre Hopkins has leapfrogged Andre Johnson as the top receiving option this season. Should he be started in fantasy leagues this week?

Meanwhile, receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been much better on the stat sheet as a top-20 option in the vast majority of fantasy formats. In PPR leagues he's scored less than 10 points just once all season. Plus, he's also coming off his best game with six catches, 115 yards and one score against the Eagles.
Well, things are going to be a little different with quarterback Ryan Mallett taking over. Mallett does like to throw the ball down the field, which fits in nicely to Hopkins' skill set. They will take on the Cleveland Browns this week and that will raise the question of who will cornerback Joe Haden cover. Haden actually admitted he will cover AJ, so things are looking up for Hopkins.
Fantasy impact: Hopkins is just too good to pass up. He’s a top-12 play this week with the upside outweighing the risk.
