A pair of AFC teams reportedly have a good shot at landing DeAndre Hopkins in the weeks to come.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via NESN reporter Dakota Randall), the Patriots and Titans are the “favorites” to land the All-Pro pass-catcher’s services. With Fowler making a point of saying: “I’m told he had a GREAT visit with New England.”
On SportsCenter this morning, @JFowlerESPN said Patriots and Titans are “favorites” for DeAndre Hopkins.
“I’m told he had a GREAT visit with New England.”
On Dalvin Cook:
“Patriots, I believe, are intrigued to some extent on pairing a running back with Rhamondre Stevenson.”

Hopkins has been a rumored target of the Patriots since he first hit the trading block in Arizona. New England’s offense is in desperate need of perimeter weapons and playmakers to help Mac Jones and his development. Especially with year three being such a pivotal year for his future in Foxborough.
Despite some drop-off in production over the past couple seasons, Hopkins is still viewed as a No. 1 wideout in league circles and would easily get a ton of targets in the Pats’ offense.
With all that said, the Buffalo Bills remain the betting favorites when it comes to the oddsmakers.
