Fantasy Football: 10 Players Who Won't Live Up to the Hype

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans

This year at receiver, there's a pretty clear cut top three (Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, and Odell Beckham) -- and then everyone else. For the average draftee, DeAndre Hopkins is fourth, as his ADP in PPR drafts is behind only the top three receivers and David Johnson.

That's a tall order to live up to.

Through Week 7 last year, Nuk was on pace for roughly 10 million 231 targets, which would have been an NFL record, but when the Houston Texans got good, Hopkins' fantasy production suffered.

Houston now has the above-average Lamar Miller in the mix, and he could help the squad fare better than 24th in rushing efficiency (based on our schedule-adjusted metrics), which is what they finished last year. Hopkins is clearly the top receiving option on his team, but that team is a run-first, defensive-minded squad, and it's hard to see how Hopkins lives up to the fifth-overall tag in 2016.
