Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 4

Andrew GouldSep 28, 2014

As Andre Johnson remains a consistent source of yardage for the Houston Texans and fantasy owners alike, DeAndre Hopkins is blossoming into a star worth starting in all formats.    

The two Texans wideouts sport similar stat lines against the Buffalo Bills, but with one major difference for fantasy gamers. Hopkins scored his third touchdown of the young season.

Before the season began, Grantland's Bill Barnwell predicted a sophomore breakout akin to Alshon Jeffery's arrival last year. So far, that prediction is spot on.    

Hopkins has flashed massive big-play potential while becoming Ryan Fitzpatrick's top deep target. Going forward, the Clemson alum should be viewed as a top-25 wideout worth starting on a weekly basis.

Johnson remains a steady source of receptions and yards, but he hasn't scored a touchdown in his last 11 games. Those numbers typically fluctuate, but he has never produced double-digit scores in a single season.

No longer a superstar, Johnson is now a No. 2 fantasy receiver who plays better in a points-per-reception (PPR) format. He's not the flashiest player, but players will appreciate him accumulating points every game.
