Well, well, well, if you’re sittin’ there wonderin’ who to pick for your fantasy football team—DeAndre Hopkins or Raheem Mostert—then you’ve come to the right place! Now, I ain’t no expert or nothin’, but I got some simple thoughts that might help ya out. You see, both of ’em got their strengths, and it all depends on what kinda player you need, right? So, let me tell ya a bit about these two fellas, and maybe you’ll get a better idea.
DeAndre Hopkins – The Wide Receiver

Now, DeAndre Hopkins, or “Hop,” as some folks like to call him, is one mighty fine wide receiver. He’s been around for a while, playin’ in the NFL since 2013, so he’s got plenty of experience under his belt. They picked him up in the first round, No. 27 pick overall, which tells ya right there that the man’s got skills. He’s played for the Texans and, more recently, for the Arizona Cardinals and now Tennessee Titans.
One thing I’ll say about Hopkins is that he’s real good at catchin’ the ball, especially in tough situations. He don’t drop passes, and he’s got some of the best hands in the game. When it comes to those jump ball situations, you better believe Hop can come down with it. So, if you’re lookin’ for a steady wide receiver who’ll make those big catches and keep movin’ the chains, Hopkins is your man.
Raheem Mostert – The Running Back
Now, when it comes to Raheem Mostert, he’s a whole different story. This man’s got speed like you wouldn’t believe! He’s a runnin’ back, and boy, when he hits that hole, it’s like a jackrabbit comin’ outta the gate. Raheem’s been bouncin’ around teams a little bit—he started with the 49ers, but he’s been with the Miami Dolphins more recently. And lemme tell ya, when he’s healthy, he can rack up them yards quick. He’s a threat in the open field, and if he gets a good block, it’s lights out—he could go all the way for a touchdown.
But here’s the thing, he’s a little more unpredictable than Hop. Injuries have held him back from time to time, and that’s somethin’ you gotta think about. If he’s healthy and gettin’ the ball, though, he could score ya a heap of fantasy points, especially in PPR leagues (that’s Points Per Reception for ya). So, if you want a fast, explosive player who can break off big runs, Raheem’s your guy.
So Who Do Ya Pick?

Now, the big question: Should you start DeAndre Hopkins or Raheem Mostert? It all depends on your needs for the week. If you’re lookin’ for a steady wide receiver who can catch passes all day long and move those chains, then Hopkins is your choice. But if you need someone who can break out a big play and rack up some yards on the ground, Raheem Mostert could be the way to go.
One thing I’d say is make sure both of ’em are healthy. Injuries are always a worry, especially with Mostert. So check the news before ya make that final call! And, don’t forget about those bye weeks—gotta keep an eye on who’s playin’ and who’s sittin’ out.
Final Thoughts
In the end, both DeAndre Hopkins and Raheem Mostert are solid players. It just depends on your team and what you need. If you want someone reliable to catch passes, go with Hopkins. If you’re feelin’ lucky and want a guy who could break one for a touchdown, go with Mostert. Just make sure to check on the injury reports and matchups before you make your decision!
Remember: Fantasy football ain’t an exact science, but it sure is fun when you get it right!
