Analytical view of the DeAndre Hopkins trade

I don’t think I’ve seen a post yet as of an actual impact of the DeAndre Hopkins instead of the typical I think he’ll be a WR3 or whatever. A few things to consider: - Hopkins has a MCL tear in his left knee which was reported July 31st. Does anyone know if this actually healed or won’t be possible unless he rests? - YPRR is a good indicator of fantasy production and / or how good a WR is. Hopkins has a 1.58 yprr (45th best) with last year at a rate of 2.00 (20th best). Rashee rice had 2.72 (third best) before he got hurt and Juju currently has 1.91 (29th best). Let’s say Hopkins is between Rashee Rice and Juju with a 2.15 which would be 20th best. I think that would be a really good outcome based on ADP. The reason I’m using Rashee and Juju as a benchmark because Any Reid has come out and said Hopkins will operate in the area of field that Rashee and Juju have. This is sort of a power slot role that WRs such as Fitzgerald and Boldin succeeded in towards the end of their career. - I think it’s fair to assume that WR3 might be a good floor for Hopkins with upside to a WR2. To be quite frank I’m not a big fan of WRs that are older than the age of 30. But given he has been an elite WR with some historical evidence with this type of WRs to have relative success at a late age in the NFL, I think he will do ok with the Chiefs.

What does everyone else think?
