DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans

DraftKings Price: $8,100
Projected Points: 18.7

Most people know that stacking a quarterback with a primary pass-catching option raises the scoring ceiling, which means the Deshaun Watson-DeAndre Hopkins stack is likely to be a highly-owned combination. Still, this stack is likely best used in cash games this weekend.

Hopkins has been one of the safest wide receivers to use on DraftKings due to his heavy volume and usage in the passing game -- he has the second-most targets (61), second-most receptions (35) and ninth-most receiving yards (363).

He has 353 air yards (third most) and while he's caught 5-of-7 red zone targets, each of those receptions have resulted in a touchdown. That rate will likely come down at some point, but the volume in the passing game should remain consistent.

Our models project him to score 18.7 DraftKings points which is the fourth-highest wide receiver projection. With a really high implied team total of 28.25 points and the fact that the Browns have allowed opposing primary wide receivers to score 21.5 points per game on DraftKings (highest in the NFL), Hopkins is worth locking in at wide receiver in Week 6.
