Fantasy Football storylines to watch in Week 10: DeAndre Hopkins — yes, the new WR1 of the Chiefs

I’ve realized the value of taking breaks.

Mind you, they’re unintentional. I’ll be working in my office, and my attention must turn to a riveting breakdown of the varying strategies within Dragon City. I don’t know what Cuphead is, but I’m learning. Anyway, like any parent, “working” from home comes with its challenges. Kids are (and should be!) a constant diversion from football. But that’s not a bad thing.

De’Von Achane’s 19.3% in his seven full games is the fourth-highest at the position over the last five years. He’s Miami’s WR3.

At 30 years old, Henry is on pace to eclipse 2,000 yards for the second time in his career. Achane has more targets (42) than teammate Jaylen Waddle (38). Along with Barkley giving Giants’ owner John Mara more reasons not to sleep well, we didn’t expect this. However, what they’re doing puts them…
