DeAndre Hopkins fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 9 (2024). Should you start or sit DeAndre Hopkins for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: New Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins didn't have the biggest day in his debut with his new team, scoring just 4.9 PPR fantasy points by catching two passes on three targets for 29 yards. However, he had just a 32% snap share, and should see bigger workloads moving forward.

He's still running excellent routes and getting open with regularity. Expect his role to expand -- it's normal for players on new teams to be worked in fully over the course of a few games. He has great PPR upside because of the offense he's in and the team's lack of other playmakers.
With the season-ending injuries to both Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee), Hopkins will fill in a valuable role for his team and should see significant targets once he's given his full intended workload. He'll face a dreadful Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense that's allowed the fifth most PPR fantasy points to opposing wide receivers per game this season.
So fire him up in your PPR leagues that have 12 or more teams.
