After an excellent NFL career, DeAndre Hopkins appears in his first Super Bowl. His role has been dimished since the return of Hollywood Brown, but he could steal a touchdown at the goal line.

After a competitive run over six games (28/328/4 on 42 targets) midseason, Hopkins has limped into the Super Bowl on the production side. He only had three catches for 18 yards on his last seven targets (three matchups), leading to fading snaps (49%, 47%, 31%, and 18%). His catch rate (70) remains favorable, but Hopkins averaged 4.6 targets over his 18 games in 2025 between Tennessee and Kansas City.

Here’s his projections for the Super Bowl:

• One catch for 10 yards with a 25% chance of scoring

·        3.53 fantasy points in PPR formats

Wide receivers had 196 catches for 2,192 yards and 17 touchdowns on 329 targets against the Eagles in the regular season. They caught 59.6% of their chances, gaining 11.2 yards per catch. Four offenses gained more than 200 yards from their wide receivers (GB – 11/201/2, TB – 20/240/2, LAR – 23/233/2, and WAS – 17/214/5).
