Hopkins begins his Chiefs tenure against a 2-5 Raiders team that should facilitate a usable fantasy stat line, even on limited snaps. As expected, Kareem Hunt (hip) is active and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is inactive. The Chiefs also declared RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, OL C.J. Hanson, OT Ethan Driskell, DT Marlon Tuipulotu and DE Mike Danna inactive.
The Chiefs will not have defensive end Mike Danna (pectoral) or wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Titans will receive a conditional fourth-round pick The Titans and Chiefs are working to finalize a trade that would send wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Titans would receive a conditional fourth-round pick in a trade that is expected to be completed Wednesday, sources said. (ESPN) FF Today's Take: The Chiefs are in dire need of a receiver after losing Marquise Brown (shoulder), Rashee Rice (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) this season. Hopkins will try and get up to speed quickly and likely be on the field this weekend in a limited role against the Raiders. Once he gets up to speed, he'll likely be a weekly Flex option in most 12-team fantasy leagues.
"They'll know how much is possible by the end of the week," Palmer said of Hopkins' playing time, adding that a source told me Hopkins is "perfect" for Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs on Tuesday acquired Hopkins, 32, from the Titans in exchange of a conditional fourth round draft pick. He'll likely slide into the role once held by Rashee Rice (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring), and should quickly become KC's top wideout. Xavier Worthy could also see more involvement as a deep threat and a gadget player.
