The Baltimore Ravens' passing attack got a huge boost this week thanks to the return of quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but his return should get the Ravens' passing attack going, which means things are looking up for wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
However, Hopkins hasn't seen the fruits of Jackson's return early on in the Week 9 game against the Miami Dolphins. Let's take a closer look at what's happening.
Is DeAndre Hopkins playing tonight?
UPDATE: Hopkins has his first target of the game late in the third quarter, but it went well over his head.
UPDATE: Two drives into the second half and still no targets for Hopkins, which is made more frustrating by the fact that Jackson has connected with eight different pass-catchers.
UPDATE: We are through one half of football and Hopkins still has not gotten a single look from Jackson. It looks like it's going to be another disappointing game for the veteran wideout.
UPDATE: Four drives, no targets for Hopkins. Jackson has only targeted four pass-catchers thus far, including Isaiah Likely, Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
UPDATE: Three drives in the books and still no targets for Hopkins. Meanwhile, Flowers and both of Baltimore's tight ends have been heavily involved.
Yes, Hopkins is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted yet.
The Ravens have only run seven plays on offense through two drives, so it's not like Hopkins has even had an opportunity to get going.
We'll see if the third drive gets Hopkins on the stat sheet.
