A longtime bell-cow receiver, he&#8217;s taken a back seat to leading Ravens pass catchers Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Hopkins&#8217; 37 targets are about the same number of passes that have gone to Rashod Bateman (38) and Isaiah Likely (35).<\/p>\n<p>With 22 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns, Hopkins will post career-lows in nearly every major receiving category this season. However, he&#8217;s made many clutch catches this season, and his 15 yards per reception is the highest of his career since his second season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got two receivers and you&#8217;ve got two tight ends that deserve the ball and that are good,&#8221; Hopkins said. &#8220;I never really allowed myself to get upset. I&#8217;m in Year 13, man. I know my role, and I know who I am and I know what I can do. When the ball comes my way, I come down with it more than likely.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been a different kind of year for Hopkins, who will be a free agent this offseason.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[184333,184334,19687,257,2593,17263,349,11178,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-382194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-2025-week-18","9":"tag-2025-week-18-news","10":"tag-deandre-hopkins","11":"tag-general","12":"tag-homepage-latest-headlines","13":"tag-inline-news","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-ryan-mink","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
