2024 Season Outlooks

Hopkins had stretches of dominant production in 2023 despite inconsistent QB play from rookie Will Levis. He turned 137 targets into 75 receptions and commanded a nearly 30% target share. He also found success in the vertical game with 27 receptions of 20+ yards. This is important because his ability to win on the vertical plane is crucial since it fits Levis' skill set. Hopkins will be more of a WR2 in 2024 after the team signed Calvin Ridley but he makes for a value pick in the Rounds 8-9 range of drafts.

Hopkins is entering his 12th NFL season, but he hasn't shown serious signs of aging just yet. Last season, Hopkins posted his highest yards per catch since his first All-Pro effort in 2017. The days of triple-digit reception totals are likely in the past, but a concentrated Titans offense could still afford him well over 100 targets working with a big-armed second-year QB in Will Levis. There is always a degree of risk investing in a receiver in his age-32 season, although it's reasonable to note Hopkins wins at the catch point with a mixture of guile and hands that remains rare at the position. Given the track record, don't be surprised by another solid WR2 showing found at WR3 pricing.
