Interest In DeAndre Hopkins Ramping Up

Trade talks surrounding Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins are ramping up this week among interested teams, according to sources. Similar to Brandin Cooks, a trade would likely mean an altered contract for Hopkins. For teams looking to upgrade at the receiver position before April's draft, Hopkins is easily the top target out there, and it sounds like something could go down sooner than later. The 30-year-old has played in only 19 games the last two years combined due to injuries and suspension, but prior to 2021 he had six 1,000-yard seasons in the NFL. He averaged 79.7 yards per game and 10.7 targets with three touchdowns in nine games played in 2022, and a move out of the desert could ignite his fantasy value, especially with quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) not expected to be ready for Week 1 in 2023.
