Hopkins caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins. Hopkins led the Titans in targets and tied with Tyler Boyd for the team lead in receiving yards, as Will Levis (shoulder) and Mason Rudolph combined for just 110 passing yards in the run-heavy win. Levis is mistake-prone but can push the ball downfield more effectively with his stronger arm. Luckily for Hopkins' fantasy prospects, Levis will have a chance to recover during Tennessee's Week 5 bye before a Week 6 matchup with the Colts.

Hopkins caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins. Hopkins led the Titans in targets and tied with Tyler Boyd for the team lead in receiving yards, as Will Levis (shoulder) and Mason Rudolph combined for just 110 passing yards in the run-heavy win. Levis is mistake-prone but can push the ball downfield more effectively with his stronger arm. Luckily for Hopkins' fantasy prospects, Levis will have a chance to recover during Tennessee's Week 5 bye before a Week 6 matchup with the Colts.
Hopkins recorded six receptions on seven targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. Hopkins has been limited early in the season by a lingering knee injury, and he still played only 45 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps against the Packers, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Even with the continued limited workload, he led the team in all receiving statistics by tallying three catches of at least 15 yards while also tacking on an 11-yard touchdown for his first trip to the end zone of the campaign. Will Levis also looked capable under center against the Packers, providing some hope that Hopkins can put together additional productive performances.
Coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Hopkins' role will increase in the coming weeks, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. After missing training camp and preseason with an MCL sprain, Hopkins played only 25 percent of snaps in Week 1 and 43 percent in Week 2, drawing three targets on 23 routes between the two games. He should get more playing time Week 3 against the Packers -- likely at Treylon Burks' expense -- but Hopkins' fantasy prospects don't look great with QB Will Levis struggling under Callahan so far.
Hopkins secured one of two targets for nine yards in the Titans' 24-17 loss to the Jets on Sunday. Hopkins was expected to have a larger role than during his 17-snap Week 1, but the veteran wideout simply wasn't looked at very often by Will Levis. Hopkins now has back-to-back one-catch tallies for a total of 17 yards over his first two games, and he'll encounter some tough cornerback play when the Packers come calling for a Week 3 visit next Sunday.
Hopkins hasn't been listed on the Titans' Week 2 injury report in advance of Sunday's game against the Jets. Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site noted Friday that Hopkins has looked good in practice this week, and the wide receiver even spoke on his recent knee injury Thursday, calling it "a sprained MCL, which is a common injury, not a tear." Hopkins was able to suit up this past Sunday at Chicago, but his role was scaled back to the tune of 17 of 64 offensive snaps and one catch (on one target) for eight yards. Considering his lack of limitations in practice this week, he should see a significant increase in snaps and even looks from QB Will Levis on Sunday.
Hopkins (knee) isn't listed on the Wednesday's injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Hopkins played just 17 snaps in this past Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears after being listed as questionable due to a knee injury entering the game. He isn't in danger of missing Sunday's home opener against the Jets, and while it remains to be seen how much Hopkins will be deployed, head coach Brian Callahan is optimistic that the veteran wide receiver will have a larger role. "I see his role increasing," Callahan said of Hopkins on Wednesday, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. "He should practice more, and his role should increase."
Hopkins recorded one catch on one target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. Hopkins was on the injury report throughout the week with a knee injury but suited up as expected. As his stat line makes evident, Hopkins was not playing at full strength and was on the field for only 15 offensive snaps (24.6 percent), per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. It's unclear how long the injury will plague Hopkins, though it would be a surprise to see him play a full snap count in Week 2 against the Jets.
Hopkins (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Hopkins suffered a knee injury early in training camp but managed to practice in limited fashion throughout the week leading up to this matchup. He wore a sleeve on his leg Thursday before ditching any support by Friday. Despite the progress, he may have his reps limited in Week 1, but Hopkins will be ready to take the field as the 2024 season kicks off.
Hopkins (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Bears, but the team could restrict his playing time, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.comreports. It appears that the team will be leaving it up to Hopkins' discretion how much he plays as it seems like a pain tolerance situation. The 32-year-old described his preseason injury as an "MCL tear" although the Titans haven't confirmed that information. Hopkins is expected to see a heavy dose of Bears' All-Pro corner Jaylon Johnson in what's expected to be a relatively low-scoring affair.
