In the AFC (excepting KC), his best options look like BUF, NYJ, and JAX, JAX having the easiest road to the playoffs.
In the NFC, it looks like NYG, DET, CAR.
And maybe TB, just because we really have no idea what the Bucs are going to look like this season, and sometimes those teams that were good a short time ago and still have some of the core players/coaches, but now seem to be in flux, will surprise you and get into the postseason.
Jacksonville doesn't make sense because they are working Calvin Ridley into their offense this year with what they already had last year. [Reply]

It's not close at all.
24 year old Tyreek Hill is wayyyyyyy better than 31 year old Hopkins
29 year old Travis Kelce was better than 34 year old Kelce
Watkins is better than any of the other 2023 WRs until one of them proves different
Hunt and Pacheco are probably a wash [Reply]

If people are trying to act like our weapons with Hopkins this year would be our best ever, then they are saying that he's substantially better than 24 year old Tyreek Hill. That's insanely overrating him. [Reply]

I would agree. They have absolutely no running game, BUF, and they desperately need one. BUF should be in the market for a top-10 RB more than anything else. [Reply]

Mahomes is better now so...Hopkins is still a #1 WR, he just isn't a speed demon. [Reply]

Yeah, agreed.
But with Mahomes just entering his prime I'd take a Hopkins/Kelce/Toney/MVS/Pacheco over those '18 and '19 squads. Not saying they're BETTER per se, but I'm saying a seasoned Mahomes is just as dangerous if not more so today with those guys as he was with the Hill and Watkins squads. [Reply]

Calvin Ridley or Deandre Hopkins . . . I know I'd make DHop my WR1, no question.
But Doug Pederson is the HC/OC over there, and I don't see any reason he couldn't install the both of them, which would make them a lot more dangerous than they were last season.
Simply start DH, Ridley and Kirk from the slot, let Flowers work in at his own pace this season. Done deal. [Reply]
I'm sitting here thinking about this tweet and it's making me pessimistic
As exciting as Dhop is - i'm going to remain cautiously optimistic that he actually lands in KC. Would be awesome to see, but shoot Odell got a 1 year 15M deal worth up to 18M.
Dhop is the better receiver at this point imo and may sign for even more somewhere.
