DeAndre Hopkins injury update: How to handle Texans WR vs. Jaguars
Will DeAndre Hopkins suit up vs. Jacksonville?

The Houston Texans are listing DeAndre Hopkins as questionable to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15.
Hopkins is battling a toe injury that caused him to miss practice this week. However, head coach Bill O’Brien said he expects Hopkins to play, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Despite playing in a depleted offense with myriad quarterback issues, Hopkins has still been one of the best players in fantasy football this season. In 13 games, Hopkins has racked up 88 receptions for 1,233 yards and 11 scores.
But as good as Hopkins has been, Jacksonville has been the best defense at shutting down opposing wide receivers. That makes this a challenging decision to make for fantasy owners.
Fantasy Impact: Hopkins is set to face a Jaguars defense allowing the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Even so, keep Hopkins in your starting lineup as long as he is active. He’s been too good to bench against anyone.
