Kansas City Chiefs fans were shocked when Brett Veach finally brought in a WR1 via the trade block, adding DeAndre Hopkins before the Chiefs’ Week 8 game against the Raiders. Hopkins was limited in his first game as a Chief but man oh man did he have his KC breakout party on Monday night against the Buccaneers.
Hopkins, in just his second game donning the Chiefs red and gold, hauled in 8 catches for 86 yards and found the end zone twice. The first touchdown was set up by a sensational catch by Hopkins where multiple defenders were draped all over him and moments later, Patrick Mahomes had no problem finding his newest weapon in the end zone to help the Chiefs take the lead.
