MATT HARMON: There's been a couple of interesting kind of insider takeaways after this has happened. The first of which was that ESPN'S Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bills and the Chiefs are in quote an arms race for free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. That makes sense. Those are the two I think most likely teams for him to land on.
Although I'm curious if you have any dark horses, Dalton. But from like a real life perspective, from a fantasy perspective, what do you think is the best fit for Hopkins from all of the realistic possible journeys here?
DALTON DEL DON: First off, this is huge news for Hollywood Brown's fantasy value, who is the wide receiver 6 in fantasy points per game before breaking his foot last year. He had a 24% target share when Hopkins was off the field. He already led all receivers last year in inaccurate target percentage.
So yes, the quarterback situation can be shaky. But he was still plenty fantasy valuable dealing with that last year. Hopkins will be major fantasy ramifications, even if he has lost a step. Because he commanded targets last year, still finished top 20 in yards per route run. I know it's not a perfect stat, but he can't be totally washed if he's doing that with that quarterback play.
I mean, does he join Kansas City. And that would be probably pretty awesome for fantasy terms. I'm not drafting Kelce myself anyway. Buffalo, that'd be a headache with Diggs. [? That ?] would certainly hurt their fantasy terms, but it would increase their chances of winning the Super Bowl.
And then Houston would probably be the more taking the bag route. And I would personally hate that because I'm loaded with Nico Collins. And I want to see Metchie and the young guys.
MATT HARMON: He's definitely not at the elite level anymore. He's definitely not an elite number one type of wide receiver. But I think he could be. Like if I'm sitting down and ranking real life NFL receivers, I'm probably not putting Hopkins in my top 10 anymore. But I still think he can be a very good top target, which is why the Chiefs landing spot just makes so much sense to me. Because they don't have a big physical type of X receiver.
They have MBS, but he's a very specific type of player. They have a gadget guy in Tony. They have a slot flanker type in Skyy Moore that I really like. I'm still very, very much in the [? we'll ?] [? see ?] camp with the whole Justin Ross training or OTA hype, the whole thing. I'm obviously a we'll see guy with all of these wide receivers. So that's the one that makes the most sense to me.
The Bills one, I'm with you. That would cause a real disruption in the potential targetry there, although he'd be a massive upgrade on Gabe Davis as the X receiver in that offense. So those two landing spots, I kind of go a little back and forth on.
