After a scare earlier this offseason, it sounds like the veteran WR will be ready to suit up alongside free agent acquisitions Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd to give QB Will Levis the most experienced receiving corps in the league. At 32 years old, Hopkins is approaching the production falloff for wide receivers and faces the stiffest target competition he’s had in recent years in 2024. Nonetheless, Hopkins was one of the league’s foremost target earners last year – he ranked top-10 in target share, targets per route run, and air yards per route run in 2023. The wild card for Hopkins this season is the right arm of second-year QB Will Levis, who tossed a trio of touchdowns to Nuk in his first career start but proved to be an inconsistent production supporter the rest of the way. With a new HC and a vastly improved supporting cast, Levis and the Titans offense should be set up to take a substantial step forward in 2024 – though the addition of former Cowboys RB Tony Pollard and the presence of solid pass-catching back Tyjae Spears could impact Hopkins’ overall workload. Hopkins played a full season in 2023 for the first time since 2020, and remaining healthy will be key to him finishing as a fantasy relevant WR once again with added competition for opportunity. At his current WR49 (8th round) ADP on Underdog, the ratio for risk vs. reward can be appealing for teams looking to draft their WR3/4 in that range.
