Houston Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins has slowed down a little this season. He started off with a bang with three scores in his first four games, but then he cooled off in Weeks 5 and 6 with just 75 yards and no scores. However, he's picked it up with 203 receiving yards in his previous two games.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 9: DeAndre Hopkins
DeAndre Hopkins gets a great matchup this week. Should fantasy owners have some renewed faith?

This week, the Philadelphia Eagles come to town and have been absolutely destroyed by receivers all season. They are the fourth-easiest matchup for fantasy receivers. Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams receivers each scored multiple TDs in two of their last three weeks. Plus, this game is at home for the Texans, which also helps their passing attack.
Receiver Andre Johnson is not at 100 percent and Hopkins should be the leader in receiving yards.
Fantasy impact: He offers big upside and the Texans just need to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick. Hopkins is a high-end WR2 this week.
