DeAndre Hopkins caught the Houston Texans’ lone touchdown pass Sunday. He ended the night with seven catches for 55 yards on 16 targets. The highest-paid wideout in the league saw a lot of double teams and drew several pass interference calls in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hopkins is facing a stingy Cincinnati Bengals defense this week. The Bengals D held the Baltimore Ravens to 121 yards on nine catches in Week 1. It did give up one touchdown but also had an interception and also caused a fumble in the outing.
Fantasy impact: Hopkins is looking at another high-target night in Week 2. Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson will not shy away from trying to get his star wide receiver the ball. However, Watson struggles to make accurate throws and that will make it hard for Hopkins to have a big night. If the Bengals put a shadow on Hopkins like the Jaguars did in Week 1, there is a good chance he will be even less productive Thursday night.
