DeAndre Hopkins Status

Titans' DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) active in Week 3
What it means:
The Tennessee Titans will have DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) active for their Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns.
Hopkins will continue to battle through the ankle injury he picked up on the final play of the Titans' Week 1 game, but he does seem healthier now than he was in Week 2. The veteran leads the Titans in most receiving metrics, with 18 targets, 11 catches, and 105 yards on the season.
Our models project Hopkins for 10.2 fantasy points in today's game. He has a $6,600 salary on FanDuel.

Fowler: Tennessee's DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) reportedly expected to play in Week 3
What it means:
According to Jeremy Fowler, Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is reportedly expected to play in Week 3's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Despite Hopkins' current questionable tag and DNP on Friday, the veteran wideout is expected to suit up in Week 3. In a tough matchup versus a Browns' defense ranked second (16.1) in FanDuel points allowed per game to wide receivers, our models project Hopkins to score 10.2 FanDuel points.
Hopkins' current Week 3 projection includes 5.0 receptions for 60.5 yards on 8.0 targets.

Titans' DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) questionable for Week 3
What it means:
Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is questionable for Week 3's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Hopkins was downgraded from limited on Thursday to out on Friday and has now been downgraded in back-to-back practices. Hopkins will reportedly travel with the Titans and still believes that he has "a chance" to play against Cleveland. Hopkins appears to be legitimately questionable for Sunday's clash with the Browns.
Hopkins' Week 3 projection includes 5.0 receptions, 60.8 yards, 0.32 touchdowns, and 10.4 FanDuel points on Friday. His salary is $6,600.
