DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans

DraftKings Price: $9,200
Projected Points: 26.19

The Houston Texans have an implied team total of 31.00 points and are favored by 13.0 points over the visiting Indianapolis Colts. After their explosive performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8, it is safe to say that the Texans' stars will likely be highly owned in Week 9.

While Deshaun Watson has been stealing the show, DeAndre Hopkins has also been pumping out elite levels of production over the past month. Hopkins has scored at least 27.2 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. His production was highlighted by his Week 8 explosion against the Seahawks, when he finished with 8 receptions for 224 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Our models have Hopkins projected to score an outstanding 26.19 DraftKings points. That projection is 7.13 points more than the next-highest wideout. Hopkins is not only a cash-game lock, he's a fantastic GPP option because of his elite upside, though he's likely to be chalk.
