Is DeAndre Hopkins Playing Tonight? (Latest Update for Saints vs. Cardinals in NFL Week 7)

The Arizona Cardinals get their top receiving weapon back in the lineup in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football.

Three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins makes his season debut after a suspension for performance enhancing drugs knocked him out for the first six games of the 2022 campaign.

Hopkins' return to the lineup comes at a perfect time for Arizona, as receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown suffered a foot injury in the team's Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and will miss at least four-to-six weeks.

That should allow Hopkins to slide right into the No. 1 receiver role for quarterback Kyler Murray. So, should we bet on some Hopkins props tonight?

DeAndre Hopkins Prop Bets for Saints vs. Cardinals in NFL Week 7

DeAndre Hopkins has props for receiving yards, receptions and to score a touchdown in this game, but there may be value in taking his receptions prop (5.5) in this game.

The OVER is at plus-money at FanDuel Sportsbook, and Hopkins has averaged over six receptions per game in four of his last five seasons. With Saints star corner Marshon Lattimore out in this game, Hopkins could have a field day against some of New Orleans' younger corners.

Here are the other numbers for Hopkins' props in Week 7:

It will be interesting to see how DHop looks in his first action of the season, but he's shown that he's a top receiver when healthy in his NFL career.

Hopkins has six 1,000 yard receiving performances in his nine NFL seasons, and he finished last year with eight touchdown catches in just 10 games (due to injury). Hopkins could be a sneaky buy low candidate in his season debut.
