It has been a tough season for Baltimore Ravens veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Thanks to his lackluster production this season, it comes as no surprise he's off to a slow start in the Week 13 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is DeAndre Hopkins playing tonight?
UPDATE: Hopkins saw his first target on the Ravens' third drive but couldn't bring it in.
Yes, Hopkins is active and healthy, he just hasn't gotten involved in the offense yet.
On the Ravens' first drive, quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with tight ends Charlie Kolar and Isaiah Likely.

We'd like to say Hopkins will start producing soon, but there's no guarantee that will be the case.
