Titans wide receiver Deandre Hopkins has been absent from Titans preseason activities since suffering a sprained knee around August 1st.  The original timeline for recovery put the 32 year old wide receiver’s availability for a week 1 game against the Chicago Bears in question.  According to the latest update from Hopkin’s head coach Brian Callahan, he is expected to be ready for week 1.  

Hopkins will likely miss this weekend’s game vs the New Orleans Saints, but will have two more weeks to get up to speed for the regular season opener in Chicago.  It is unclear if Hopkins will be on a snap count or if he will see his full workload, but if he is out there it will certainly be a boost for 2nd year QB Will Levis.  Hopkins is currently going in the 9th round of redraft leagues and at wr47 on underdog in bestball.  If he is at full strength, he is almost guaranteed to outperform his current draft position.
