TL;DR
- DeAndre Hopkins has had a tough season for the Baltimore Ravens with low receiving yards.
- Hopkins is playing in the Week 11 matchup against the Cleveland Browns but has struggled.
- The Ravens' aerial game faces difficulties, partly due to the Browns' strong defense.
- Hopkins is a lower target option in the Ravens' passing offense this season.
It has been a tough season for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Hopkins has just 208 receiving yards through nine games this season and his 23.1 yards per game is the lowest mark of his Hall of Fame career.
Given this, it's not surprising that Hopkins began the Week 11 matchup against the Cleveland Browns slowly. Let's examine the situation more closely.
Will DeAndre Hopkins be on the field today?
Yes, Hopkins is playing on Sunday and was targeted twice in the first half, but he failed to catch either pass.
The Ravens' aerial game has faced difficulties generally, which is hardly surprising given the Browns' strong defense. Furthermore, it doesn't help that Hopkins is essentially the third or fourth choice in their passing offense.
We can only hope things improve in the second half for Hopkins, but we wouldn't bet on it after what we've seen through one half of this season.
