Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host Justin Boone.

It's been a busy week here. We're getting ready to launch the

scores 2023 fantasy football draft kit later this week. So I am hard at work as always, but we

0:26.5

finally had one of the big remaining free agent signs. So I had to jump on. I had to discuss that

0:31.0

move today. DeAndre Hopkins, ending up with the Titans, lots of fantasy impact for Tennessee. And

0:37.1

yes, from a fantasy standpoint alone, it would have been nice to see D. Hop go to the chiefs

or the bills or one of these more high-powered, pass-happy offenses.

0:47.4

Instead, he takes the best contract that he was offered.

0:50.1

You can't blame him for that.

And he joins a Titans team that was severely lacking in receiving

But Hopkins still putting up good numbers last season, only played in nine games. He was playing at 120 catch

1:39.2

they've been bottom five and pass attempts six of the last seven years. That other year,

1:43.7

they were bottom eight so

1:44.8

this isn't a high volume passing attack through the air we do have the age concerns we do have the
