2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off a suspension-shortened 2022 with 717 yards in nine games, Hopkins was released by the Cardinals last offseason and met with a surprisingly soft market. He ended up choosing Tennessee on a two-year, $26 million contract, which led to a drastic reversal from his Arizona usage under Kliff Kingsbury. Despite being 31 years old and not a burner even in his prime, Hopkins led the NFL with 39 targets 20-plus yards downfield last year. That would seem to be a good thing for fantasy production, though he got his hands on only 12 of the passes, catching all 12 for 428 yards and two TDs. The real problem was that Hopkins saw far fewer short passes than he had under Kingsbury. It's not that he only ran deep routes, but rather that Tennessee was 31st in total play volume and 30th in pass attempts. Hopkins was targeted on 27.1 percent of routes -- 13th among WRs and similar to his 2022 rate (27.7 percent) -- but dropped from 38.4 routes per game in his final Arizona season to 29.7 in Tennessee. While the Titans figure to throw more in 2024 with former Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan as the head coach and RB Derrick Henry off to Baltimore, there are plenty of reasons to question Hopkins' fantasy production moving forward. Hopkins turns 32 this September, QB Will Levis completed only 58.4 percent of passes as a rookie, and free-agent signing Calvin Ridley may end up being the No. 1 receiver. It's a safe bet Hopkins' aDOT will come down from last season's eight-year high of 14.0, but that might cost him big plays or TDs and doesn't necessarily mean he'll see more targets overall.

Finds end zone in season finale
Hopkins recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Derrick Henry drove the Titans to an upset win, though Hopkins turned in a solid effort in a supporting role. He was used primarily in a short-area role, as his longest reception went for only 16 yards. However, Hopkins came through with his seventh touchdown of the season on a six-yard reception early in the third quarter. All told, it was a successful opening season in Tennessee, as he posed the seventh 1,000-yard campaign of his career. He remains under contract with the team for the 2024 season, though the Titans can get out of the deal with only a $7.9 million hit to the salary cap.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Motivated by new teammates
Hopkins noted Thursday that the additions of wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd have motivated him to "outcompete them, trying to outdo them...that's only going to make the team better," Christian Gonzales of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hopkins balanced those comments by saying "I think this is one of the best wide receiver groups I've had the chance to play with on paper." After failing to reach 1,000 receiving yards in his last two seasons with the Cardinals, Hopkins reached that milestone in 2023 in his first year with the Titans with 1,057 yards, more than double the amount of the next wide receiver, Chris Moore. The additions of Ridley and Boyd should make life in the passing game easier for both Hopkins and second-year quarterback Will Levis.

Injuries and a suspension limited Hopkins to 19 games the past two seasons, but he more or less looked like his old self when available last year, averaging 10.7 targets and 79.7 receiving yards in nine games. Now entering his age-31 season, Hopkins could perhaps experience a true revival if he regains the durability/availability from his younger years, though his new home (Tennessee) isn't exactly noted for prolific passing/receiving production. While many expected Hopkins to join a top Super Bowl contender and/or a team with an elite quarterback, he instead signed a two-year contract with the Titans in June, teaming up with 35-year-old QB Ryan Tannehill and 29-year-old RB Derrick Henry. Hopkins will take on a large target share in a passing game that otherwise would've been fully counting on a Year 2 breakout from WR Treylon Burks, the 2022 first-round pick who had an uneven, injury-plagued rookie year. And as much as the organization still expects Burks to take that big step forward, Hopkins' track record makes him a clear favorite to lead the team in targets and receiving production, possibly by large margins.
