The Detroit Lions are favored by more than 10 points against the Tennessee Titans this week, and their path to victory may have gotten even easier. As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Titans are completing a trade to send All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs. The trading conditions are not yet known.

UPDATE: It apparently costs the Chiefs a conditional fifth-round pick that could turn into a fourth-round pick, according to Ian Rapoport.

It’s a nice break for the Lions, even if Hopkins (32) isn’t at the top of his game. The Titans’ passing attack has struggled thanks to poor quarterback play from both Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. However, removing their best option probably won’t help improve the unit. So far this season, Hopkins has just 15 catches for 173 yards and a single touchdown. His average of 28.8 receiving yards per game this season is by far the worst production of his 12-year career and well below his previous low (50.1).

That said, take advantage of every advantage you can get in the NFL. While the Titans still have decent receivers like Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, this remains one of the most ineffective passing attacks in football through seven weeks. The Titans rank 32nd in yards per attempt (4.2), last in passer rating (71.2), t-28th in interceptions (eight) and t-24th in touchdowns.

The Lions pass defense has had an up and down start to the season. While they have been aggressive with the ball, ranking third in pass deflections (36) and fifth in interceptions, they have also allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game (245.8).
