Texans' DeAndre Hopkins: Tough Week 5 matchup against Rhodes

Hopkins, who had just one catch on six targets for four yards in Week 4, will be facing the Vikings' best shutdown corner in Xavier Rhodes in Week 5, Joshua Reese of CBS Houston reports.

Analysis:

Rhodes put on a show for a national audience Monday night when he limited Odell Beckham Jr. to a career-low three catches for 23 yards and goaded him into a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Hopkins said he's very familiar with Rhodes having played against him when the two were in college and understands the task ahead of him. While we don't advocate sitting Hopkins -- we wouldn't do that any week Hopkins is healthy -- don't be surprised if his slow start to the season continues.
