DeAndre Hopkins may just be the greatest wide receiver in the NFL today. The 29-year-old Arizona Cardinals star is the only player to have over 100 catches over the past three NFL seasons.

Fantasy football owners should be fixated on drafting the 2017 NFL touchdown leader. Here's a look at DeAndre Hopkins' Fantasy Football projections for the 2021-22 season.
