"Hate that you went to the Ravens": NFL fans react to DeAndre Hopkins' first look in new No. 10 uniform

DeAndre Hopkins remains on his quest for a first Super Bowl ring in his career, and his next stop will be alongside a two-time MVP. The wide receiver signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens and will catch passes from Lamar Jackson.

Hopkins last played for the Kansas City Chiefs, featuring in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite catching a touchdown, he wasn't impactful, as the Chiefs were no match for the Eagles, losing 40-22.

Pictures of the wide receiver wearing the No. 10 jersey emerged on social media on Monday, and many fans shared their wishes online for Hopkins to ball out on the final years of his career:

"Hate that you went to the Ravens," wrote one fan.

"I’m sad we only got half a year in KC, but I hope you ball out. Best of luck," a fan said.

Even with his midseason addition, the Chiefs finished the 2024 season as the 15th-best offense in the league, with an average of 22.6 points per game. They won the previous two championships but failed to become the first-ever team to win three straight Super Bowls.

Is DeAndre Hopkins a good fantasy option in 2025?

Not really, as the wide receiver joins a group led by Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and Rashod Bateman. They're all important pass catchers for the Ravens and have helped Jackson evolve as a passer in 2024.

In previous years, adding Hopkins would be a mega move. But in 2025, he does not have the same stock after a difficult season with the Chiefs. He had just 41 receptions, 437 yards and four touchdowns over 10 games.

Furthermore. he did not stand out as Patrick Mahomes' primary target in a year where Kansas City needed more help from their receivers, especially as Rashee Rice suffered a major injury and Xavier Worthy was still just a rookie.

Even with his likely status as a starter for the Ravens, don't expect him to become a difference-maker in the offense, which could hurt his fantasy possibilities.
