DeAndre Hopkins' Struggles Continue in Week 11 Against the Browns
DeAndre Hopkins, the Baltimore Ravens’ veteran wide receiver, has faced a challenging season so far, and Week 11’s game against the Cleveland Browns wasn’t any different. The 33-year-old, who has made a name for himself in the NFL, is enduring the lowest production of his Hall of Fame-worthy career. Through nine games, Hopkins has only accumulated 208 receiving yards, averaging a mere 23.1 yards per game—his worst performance to date.
into Week 11, there were questions about his performance. Many fans and analysts wondered if Hopkins could turn things around. Was he going to make an impact in a crucial divisional matchup? The answer, at least in the first half, seemed to be no.

Hopkins did suit up and was active for the game, but the Ravens' passing attack struggled. Despite being targeted twice, Hopkins was unable to catch either pass in the first half. It’s clear that the Ravens' offense, in general, hasn’t found its rhythm this season, and that’s particularly noticeable in their passing game. While the Cleveland Browns have one of the league's stronger defenses, Hopkins’ lack of involvement also reflects his current role in the Ravens' offense. He's become more of a secondary or tertiary option in their passing game, with the likes of tight ends and other wide receivers taking precedence.
At this point in the season, Hopkins’ usage has been a major point of frustration for fans and fantasy football managers alike. His numbers simply don’t reflect the caliber of player he is, especially when considering his past dominance in the league. The Ravens, for their part, continue to try to make their offense work, but Hopkins is clearly not being used enough to make a fantasy impact.
So, while he’s still playing, it’s hard to say how much longer Hopkins will be relied upon in Baltimore’s offense. As for Week 11, unless something changes drastically in the second half, it looks like Hopkins will continue to be a bit of an afterthought for the Ravens. Given his low involvement in the passing game and the team’s overall struggles in the air, fantasy managers might need to consider other options for the time being. The hope is that Hopkins can regain some of his former glory as the Ravens move toward the postseason, but it’s clear that there’s work to be done.
