DeAndre Hopkins Might Go Off

There were a few people that took DeAndre Hopkins props last week and were disappointed. It happens. The thing is, he was traded midweek so he didn’t even know the playbook. It was a minor miracle he played as much as he did. Most guys wouldn’t have even suited up.

Lucky for us, Andy Reid has already come out and said that Hopkins will be more involved this week.

If you watched last week’s game, it was obvious that Hopkins has been energized by the trade to a contender. Imagine playing with Will Levis in a rebuilding situation and then going to Kansas City to play with Patrick Mahomes. That’s night and day.

I’ve already seen the haters saying that Hopkins is washed but, as usual, the haters have it all wrong. They don’t even know what they’re watching. Hopkins was only targeted three times last week and he only played 32% of the snaps. He’s getting more run this week.

On top of that, every target he had came in the first half as he seemed to be a spectator in the second half. That won’t happen again this week. He should be able to find soft spots in the Buccaneers’ zone defense. With more time on the field, that should equate to receptions. I think he gets this in the first half. Feels easy.

DeAndre Can Still Get Loose

Catching balls is one thing but turning them into yards is another thing all together. The thing I like about Hopkins is, he runs every single route on the planet. What’s even better is, he can still get open against anyone. Go back and watch the All-22 from last week, he was like a 7-Eleven out there. Open all the time.

And again, Andy Reid already said Hopkins would be more involved this week.

Here’s the thing, I already like his receptions, so why not go with some yards? If he’s catching 5+ balls, then 50+ yards should be relatively easy. The game script could give us an issue – the Buccaneers vs Chiefs odds favor KC by nine, so there’s a good chance the Chiefs are nursing a lead in the second half – but when we look at opponent, I am a little more confident we won’t get game-scripted out.

I don’t think the Buccaneers will be able to keep up with Kansas City, even in the rain, so game script could become an issue. The thing is, 50+ is such a low bar. On top of that, Tampa Bay has given up 1264 receiving yards to wideouts so far this season. This is a great attack surface. What’s even better is, if Tampa can just hang around, then we will get a full four quarters of a Kansas City passing attack. In an environment like that, I don’t see a scenario where Hopkins stays under 50 receiving yards.

In fact, this could easily go down as the greatest bet of all time. Maybe better.
