| DeAndre Hopkins made his Chiefs debut on Sunday, playing 23 of Kansas City’s 72 offensive snaps in the 27-20 victory. Hopkins caught two of his three targets for 29 yards in the contest. In his Monday news conference, head coach Andy Reid said Hopkins looked good in his first game with the club.
“He was chomping at the bit on the sideline wanting to play and at the same time, knowing that he didn’t have all of it down so there was a patience there. But he was into the game and I think you’ll be able to see more this next game," Reid said. (Pro Football Talk - Mike Florio)
FFToday's Take: A receiver should never be expected to play a full allotment of snaps in the same week he is acquired in a trade, so it did not come as a surprise that he logged only 23 snaps in Week 8. The good news is he will have a full week of practice heading into the Chiefs' Week 9 tilt against the Bucs, who have surrendered eight touchdowns to receivers over the last four games. Hopkins' fantasy managers should feel good about his ability to serve as a WR3 with upside this week.
