Third Toughest Wide Receiver in 2016 – DeAndre Hopkins
In just the second week of the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs will see a familiar foe in the Houston Texans.
While the Texans aren’t necessarily a big rival to the Chiefs, the boys in Houston like to think otherwise. In the past three seasons, the Chiefs are 3-0 against the Texans and one of those victories included a shutout in the Wild Card game during the playoffs last year.

The Texans will once again get the Chiefs in the comforts of Reliant Stadium, where they’ll put one of the toughest receivers in the game on the field. That receiver is DeAndre Hopkins, who had a grand ol’ time against the Chiefs in the season opener last year.
Hopkins had nine receptions for 98 yards and two touchdowns against Kansas City last year, and it made fans worry about the secondary early on. I don’t think any of us wanted to admit that Hopkins is just really, really good.
He didn’t have as great of a showing in the playoff game, grabbing six passes for 69 yards. He didn’t have any touchdown receptions in that one either.
The Texans could prove to be one of the better teams in the AFC this year. Their defense has always been scary, but now with a new and improved offense, look out for Houston this year, folks.
