michaelredd9 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 DeAndre Hopkins (toe) absent on Thursday http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/370668/deandre-hopkins-(toe)-absent-on-thursday?ls=roto:HOU:topheadlines DeAndre Hopkins (toe) didn't practice on Thursday. Hopkins wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so this must be a new injury. It's too early to get a gauge on Hopkins' status, but if he were to sit against the Jaguars, it would make a brutal matchup even worse for fill-in quarterback T.J. Yates. Nuk leads the NFL with 11 touchdowns this year and ranks second in both catches (88) and receiving yards (1,233) behind Antonio Brown. His absence would be a big loss for fantasy owners.

DMD Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 He's a plenty scary start this week anyway. I think he had toe issues in the past but did not miss games. There is no one else to bother covering for HOU and it doesn't get any worse than playing in JAC for a star WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 This would be a boost to the best fantasy defense this week. Nuk is Houston's only threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hopkins didn't practice on Friday either, but apparently Coach Bill O'Brien expects him to play. http://www.chron.com/sports/texans/article/Texans-Jadeveon-Clowney-DeAndre-Hopkins-not-12433725.php?utm_campaign=twitter-desktop&utm_source=CMS Sharing Button&utm_medium=social If you've got Nuk, you pretty much have to start him, but this is about the worst case scenario you'll ever have with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thought for sure I was going to play Hopkins but my other options are starting to look better. In my case it's Woods coming back into action. Normally I live and die by ASYS and would never make the swap...probably will change my mind 10 or 12 times before Sunday. I can see this either way and wouldn't fault anybody who started Nuk. In this particular league my other WRs are bonkers good so I don't need to swing for the fences, just need to avoid a low floor. The potential for garbage time still has appeal though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hopkins now has 3 things working against him: 1)bad quarterback 2)Jalen Ramsey 3)toe. He has shown that he can produce with any quarterback throwing to him and he has shown he might be matchup-proof against any defender. It wouldn't surprise me if his toe issue is mostly false. He might just want to appear the hero who plays through injury. And if Jalen Ramsey does shut him down, he can blame the toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great before getting injured. But receivers coming back from shoulder injuries seem to often be limited after they come back. I hate making this type of decision in a fantasy playoff game.

If Hopkins had practiced both days he'd be my man no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second worst. Worst case would be another Brock Osweiler sighting under center. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
