Week 4 NFL Advanced Analytics Superstars

Wide Receiver: DeAndre Hopkins, Houston Texans

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans

10 Receptions, 107 Yards, 12 Targets, 1 Touchdown

Performance: 98, NEP: +14.18

Hopkins, the NFL's most targeted receiver to date was back at it again on Sunday, recording 12 targets in the Texans' blowout win over the Titans while notching a 98 Performance Score. He finished with 10 receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown, pacing a receiving core that continues to get healthy and add weapons each week.

He may not be the elite athlete that some of his counterparts are, but Hopkins' combination of outstanding hands, route running, and leaping ability allow him to be a great security blanket for Deshaun Watson.

His current target pace isn't unprecedented, either -- his dominant 2015 season featured an outrageous 192 targets, a number he is on track to break through four games. And with what looks to be competent quarterback play for perhaps the first time in his five-year career (all do respect, Brian Hoyer, Matt Schaub, and Brock Osweiler), Hopkins looks to be one of the more consistent receivers in fantasy football this year.

And if the big plays ever do come, it isn't beyond belief that Hopkins could finish the season as a top-five fantasy receiver.
