FALLER – DeAndre Hopkins (WR, HOU)
Outside of three weeks, Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins has been terribly disappointing in 2016.

The 24-year-old, now in his fourth professional season with Houston, is coming off a career year that saw him grab 111 passes for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns. This year, however, with Brock Osweiler at the helm, Hopkins has regressed. While he still leads his team in receiving yards and touchdowns, he’s fallen outside of the top-25 wide receivers in fantasy production this year.
Halfway through the season, Hopkins is on pace for his worst season since his rookie year in 2013. The biggest reason to lose permanent trust in the Clemson product is his quarterback’s poor play. Without a consistent QB taking snaps, how exactly can Hopkins turn it around?
While he should continue to see starts, with a string of weak defenses awaiting, it’ll take a dramatic turnaround from Osweiler to buy Hopkins as a WR1-type player.
