Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is off to a promising start in his sophomore campaign. Through two games, he's caught seven balls for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Hopkins may not be a realistic candidate for a top-ten fantasy finish but he's been able to make the most of his targets.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 3: DeAndre Hopkins is a borderline WR3 start

Fantasy Impact: Hopkins has been able to showcase some of the play-making ability that made him a first-round pick last year but there isn't a ton of room for his numbers to improve. Holding him back is the fact that target monster Andre Johnson is still the clear-cut top receiving option. It also doesn't help that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is more of a game manager than gunslinger. Hopkins does have a favorable match up in the New York Giants that haven't been able to stop anyone. They were torched by Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson in Week 1 and Arizona Cardinals back up quarterback Drew Stanton (who hadn't started a game since 2010) didn't have much trouble moving the ball on them either. Hopkins a solid WR4/flex play with a WR3 ceiling.
