Out for Week 18
Hopkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 30-year-old wideout missed the first six games of the season due to a suspension and will wind up sitting out the final two with a knee injury. In between, he averaged 7.1 catches for 79.7 yards on 10.7 targets with three touchdowns in nine games, essentially providing his usual level of fantasy production until things fell apart Week 16, when third-string quarterback Trace McSorley completed only one of his 10 throws to Hopkins in what ended up being the wideout's final appearance of the…read more

Not playing Sunday
Hopkins (knee) has been downgraded and will not play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Considering Hopkins left Friday's practice early, it certainly appeared as if the knee injury was relatively serious and Saturday's designation confirms the notion. It's entirely possible Hopkins could be shut down for the rest of the season considering Week 18 means nothing in terms of the Cardinals' playoff hopes, but the team has yet to make anything official in that regard. Marquise Brown and Greg Dortch figure to get more opportunities with Hopkins out, although the prospect of…read more

Questionable with knee injury
Hopkins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Potential shadow coverage from Falcons CB A.J. Terrell is the least of Hopkins' problems with David Blough set to start at QB for the Cardinals and their star wideout now considered questionable. Hopkins left Friday's practice early -- early enough to be considered a non-participant rather than limited -- and thus appears truly in danger of landing on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. A Hopkins absence would boost the volume projections for WRs Marquise Brown, Greg…read more

Leaves practice with knee injury
Hopkins left Friday's practice early with a knee injury, and the Cardinals will see how he feels Saturday before making a decision for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Bad news seems to come in bunches for the Cardinals this year, and a potential absence for their No. 1 receiver was announced at the same time Colt McCoy was ruled out due to a recurrence of concussion symptoms. David Blough will be the fourth QB to start for the Cardinals this year, and he may not have Hopkins at his disposal. Many fantasy managers will be left with tough decisions if Hopkins plays, as he might play fewer snaps than usual and see his targets from someone less accurate than…read more

Leaves practice early
Hopkins left Friday's practice early, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hopkins wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, and this now creates some concern he could be added Friday. The good news is that Colt McCoy is back under center for the Cardinals after Trace McSorley connected with Hopkins just once on 10 targets in last week's overtime loss to Tampa Bay.

Inefficient night with McSorley
Hopkins brought in just one of 10 targets for four yards in the Cardinals' 19-16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Analysis: Hopkins' highly alarming stat line was partly the byproduct of his unfamiliarity with spot starter Trace McSorley, who stepped in for Colt McCoy (concussion) on Sunday. The veteran wideout's meager reception and yardage totals both matched career-low figures he'd set way back in Week 4 of his rookie 2016 campaign with the Texans, and he should therefore have nowhere to go but up in a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons, irrespective of who's under center.

Tallies seven receptions
Hopkins recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Hopkins paced Arizona's pass catchers in every statistical category, and he managed a respectable performance despite playing with the team's second- and third-string quarterbacks. Due to the quality of quarterback play, Hopkins was forced to work primarily in the short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for 18 yards and only two of his catches went for double-digit gains. Hopkins' role in the offense is safe moving forward, though he could continue to struggle to put up exceptional…read more

Paces pass-catching corps in loss
Hopkins brought in seven of 11 targets for 79 yards and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Monday night.
Analysis: Hopkins recorded all his numbers in conjunction with veteran quarterback Colt McCoy, who was called on after Kyler Murray suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury on the Cardinals' third play of the game. Hopkins' lost fumble was returned 23 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter by Raekwon McMillan to snap a 13-13 tie, but his reception, yardage and target totals were all team-high figures on the night. With double-digit looks in five of his first seven games of the season,…read more

Back at practice in full
Hopkins (illness) was a full participant at Friday's walk-through practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins was held out of the Cardinals' first practice session of the week Thursday due to the ailment, but his ability to take every rep one day later clears up any concern about his status heading into Monday's game against the Patriots. Since debuting in Week 7 after serving a six-game suspension to begin the season, Hopkins has stepped into a high-volume role in the Arizona passing game. In six appearances, Hopkins has cobbled together a 49-574-3 receiving line on 64 targets.

Dealing with illness
Hopkins didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: According to Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, Hopkins wasn't seen during the portion of the session open to the media, and now the reason for his absence has come into focus. Hopkins will have a pair of chances to get in some on-field work this week before the Cardinals potentially hand him a designation for Monday's game against the Patriots. Rondale Moore (groin) joined Hopkins as a non-participant Thursday, so Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Greg Dortch (thumb) and Robbie Anderson currently are…read more

Tallies third touchdown
Hopkins recorded four receptions on six targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: For the first time this season, Hopkins shared the field with Marquise Brown and seemingly lost targets as a result. Hopkins still managed a relatively strong performance, highlighted by long gains of 33, 29 and 21 yards -- the first of which went for his third touchdown of the season. One game can't perfectly predict how Hopkins will be used with Brown back in the fold, but the initial returns suggest he'll have to rely upon big plays to remain an elite producer.

Starts hot, fades
Hopkins recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 91 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Hopkins was questionable to play entering Monday's matchup due to a hamstring injury, but he showed few signs of that issue early in the game. He recorded three receptions for 40 yards on the team's first two offensive possessions and ended the first half with seven catches and 77 yards. However, the Cardinals' offense collapsed in the final two quarters, which resulted in Hopkins' production following suit. Despite the disappointing close to the game, he has earned at least 12 targets in four…read more

Suiting up Monday
Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as active Monday versus the 49ers in Mexico City, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: There's been a cloud hanging over Hopkins' head since he didn't practice last Thursday due to a hamstring injury. In the meantime, he managed back-to-back limited sessions, and the Cardinals gave him a questionable tag for Week 11 action. Earlier Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that while the team initially was unsure if Hopkins would be able to play, the tide was turning in his favor to do so. Following a pregame workout, Hopkins was deemed healthy enough to suit up, but he won't…read more

Trending toward playing Monday
Hopkins (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers in Mexico City, appears likely to be available for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hopkins had a hamstring injury pop up during Week 11 prep, rendering him a limited participant in practice sessions Friday and Saturday. While Rapoport notes that the Cardinals initially feared Hopkins would have to miss the Mexico City game, the team came away with "much more optimism" about the wideout's health after getting the chance to evaluate him later in the week. He still may have to check out OK during a pregame workout to get the green light to play, but so long as he avoids the…read more

Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Hopkins was a limited participant in practice both Friday and Saturday, which would seem to indicate the veteran will be available in the important divisional contest. Far more concerning for the Cardinals is the possible absence of quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring), who is also listed as questionable having registered three days of limited participation in practice.

On Friday, coach Kliff Kingsbury clarified the situation, telling Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that Hopkins' DNP was maintenance-related.

Hopkins (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins returns to practice after sitting out Thursday, putting him on track to play in Monday's game against the 49ers. His level of participation remains to be seen, and it's also unclear if QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) has made enough progress to play. Urban notes that Murray ran the length of the field before Friday's session, likely preparing for another day of limited participation.

Tending to hamstring issue
Hopkins didn't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, Hopkins wasn't present at the open portion of the team's first session of Week 11 prep. In his first two seasons with Arizona, Hopkins often was given a day off from practice per week for non-injury reasons, but this time around he's dealing with a health concern. As a result, his status will be one to watch closely in the coming days to ensure he isn't danger of missing Monday's game against the 49ers in Mexico City.

Ten catches from backup QB
Hopkins caught 10 of 14 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Kyler Murray (hamstring) was inactive, but Hopkins didn't miss a beat with Colt McCoy under center for the Cardinals instead. The 30-year-old wideout has seen at least 13 targets in three of four games since making his belated season debut, turning that outstanding volume into 36 catches for 396 yards and two TDs, and Hopkins figures to be productive again in Week 11 against the 49ers regardless of whether McCoy or Murray is holding the reins on the offense.

Scores TD against Seattle
Hopkins caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: The veteran wideout failed to reach triple-digit receiving yards for the first time in three games since making his belated season debut, but Hopkins salvaged his afternoon by getting into the end zone for the second straight contest. He'll look for more target volume in a Week 10 road matchup against the Rams.

Spectacular numbers in loss
Hopkins secured 12 of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 34-26 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Hopkins easily paced the Cardinals in receptions, receiving yards and targets, one-upping his impressive 10-catch, 103-yard Week 7 season debut. The accomplished veteran's final grab of the day was an impressive, contested 24-yard reception that set the Cardinals up at the Vikings' 37-yard line with 27 seconds remaining, but Arizona wasn't able to drive the rest of the way to put itself in position for a tie. However, Hopkins' performance, which also included a picturesque one-handed touchdown…read more

Stellar in season debut
Hopkins brought in 10 of 14 targets for 103 yards in the Cardinals' 42-34 win over the Saints on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Hopkins didn't waste any time making an impact in his return to action, although a significant chunk of his production came in the second half once he got clicking with QB Kyler Murray. The standout wideout naturally makes a big difference for Murray, who now has led the Cardinals to a 9-2 record in games he's played with Hopkins, and he opens up opportunities for the rest of the offense as well. Given his significant target and snap share in his first game back, Hopkins' fantasy outlook looks…read more

Activated to 53-man roster
Arizona activated Hopkins, who served a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy, to the 53-man roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hopkins missed the end of the 2021 campaign due to an MCL sprain, but he moved past that injury during the offseason and is expected to be full go Week 7. There's a little concern that the wideout won't have a full week of practice under his belt before he makes his first appearance of the season, but there hasn't been any reports about Hopkins being limited for Thursday's matchup against the Saints. With Marquise Brown (ankle) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Hopkins should be Arizona's…read more

Getting work in 10 personnel
The Cardinals ran some 10 personnel (one running back, zero tight ends) with Hopkins (suspension) and A.J. Green serving as outside receivers and Marquise Brown (hamstring) and Rondale Moore in the slot at Monday's practice, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Kyler Murray and Brown both practiced Monday for the first time since the start of training camp, and it appears the offense was working on Air Raid concepts, perhaps with the regular season in mind. Hopkins himself won't be able to suit up until Week 7 (Thursday, Oct. 20 against the Saints) due to his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, but he's at least been healthy in camp after an injury-plagued 2021.

To be healthy for training camp
Hopkins, who will serve a six-game suspension to begin the 2022 season, is expected to be healthy for training camp, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. "He's been moving around well, and I think he's right on schedule," coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Monday's OTA session.
Analysis: Hopkins had a down year for his standards in 2021, tending to multiple injuries that capped him to 10 appearances and a 42-572-8 line on 64 targets. In particular, he didn't play after Week 14 due to an MCL sprain that required surgery Dec. 17. In early May, Hopkins suffered another setback, albeit not on the health front, when the NFL handed down a suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Won't appeal suspension
Hopkins withdrew the appeal of the six-game suspension he received from the NFL on Monday for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With the news that he won't seek a reduction in the suspension, Hopkins will end up missing 11 straight contests, as he was sidelined for the final four games of the 2021 regular season in addition to the Cardinals' wild-card round loss to the Rams due to a torn MCL in his knee. Per the terms of his suspension, Hopkins remains eligible to participate in all offseason practices and preseason games, so he'll at least be a part of the team environment over the next several months.

Handed six-game suspension
The NFL issued a six-game suspension to Hopkins on Monday for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hopkins could choose to appeal the suspension, but if the six-game ban stands, he would appear in 11 games or fewer for the second season in a row. The Cardinals may have been aware of a possible suspension for Hopkins, given their surprise acquisition of Marquise Brown from the Ravens on Thursday. If Hopkins does in fact miss time early on in the 2022 season, Brown, A.J. Green and Rondale Moore would likely operate as the primary wideouts for quarterback Kyler Murray.

Restructures contract
Hopkins (knee) and the Cardinals agreed to a restructured contract earlier this week, AZ Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Analysis: The restructure gives Arizona an additional $10.7 million in cap space, but WR Christian Kirk (Jaguars) and RB Chase Edmonds (Dolphins) both are headed to Florida nonetheless. The Cardinals did retain two key free agents on offense, TE Zach Ertz and RB James Conner, and they presumably expect WR Rondale Moore to have a bigger role in his second pro season. That still leaves Hopkins as an overwhelming favorite to lead the team in targets, assuming he has better luck staying on the field this…read more

Hopkins (knee) is expected to be 100 percent within the next month, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: For the first time in his nine-year career, Hopkins missed significant time due to injury in 2021. First, he sat out Weeks 9-11 due to a hamstring strain, and after suiting up in Weeks 13 and 14, Hopkins suffered what was eventually revealed to be a sprained MCL that required surgery and a likely 2-4 month recovery.

Still eyeing late-postseason return
Hopkins (knee) could be ready to come off injured reserve if the Cardinals advance to the NFC Championship Game, but a return any earlier than that is considered "unrealistic," a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Hopkins underwent surgery Friday to address a torn MCL, an injury that Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reported was expected to require a 2-to-4-month recovery timeline. The NFC Championship Game will be held Jan. 30 -- approximately seven weeks after Hopkins underwent surgery -- so the Cardinals may have some hope that the star wideout can narrowly beat the short end of that timeline. Ultimately, how Hopkins progresses in his recovery over the next month or so will dictate whether he's on track…read more

He has a wide range of recovery timelines, from six weeks on the low end to as much as 2-to-4 months on the other, per Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

Analysis: Anderson adds that at least for the time being, the Cardinals aren't expecting Hopkins to play again in the regular season or postseason. The report differs slightly from one provided earlier Thursday by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, who relayed that Hopkins will likely be in store for a six-week recovery period, a timeline that would give him a shot to play if the Cardinals make a deep postseason run.

Analysis: After he was diagnosed with a sprained knee following an MRI on Tuesday, Hopkins sought a second opinion on his injury Wednesday, at which time surgery was recommended for the star wideout. He'll heed the advice of doctors and have the procedure, which will knock him out for the remainder of the regular season, and quite likely, the at least the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins is slated to get a second opinion on his leg injury Wednesday after previously getting an MRI, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: With that in mind, Hopkins' status for Sunday's game against the Lions has yet to determined. If Hopkins is out or limited this weekend or beyond, added looks would be available for fellow wideouts A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore.

Analysis: Hopkins missed time earlier in the season for a hamstring injury, but Kingsbury was unwilling to disclose any more information about why this latest scan was done. Hopkins missing additional time would be a huge hit to the Cardinals receiving corps as they continue their pursuit of the top seed in the NFC. A.J.

The wideout then dropped a critical fourth-and-two pass in the third, adding to his frustrations.

Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday in Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Coming off Arizona's Week 12 bye, Hopkins logged a pair of limited practices while sitting out Thursday's session as he attempted to put a hamstring issue in the rearview mirror. While the activity was enough to put an end to a three-game absence -- which surpassed the total absences (two) in the first eight campaigns of his career -- he may operate under a snap count to avoid a setback and also due to the rainy conditions in Chicago, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Still, the Cardinals offense will…read more

Coach confirms Week 13 return
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Stacey Dales of NFL Network that Hopkins (hamstring) will play Sunday against the Bears, despite being listed as questionable for the contest after missing the Cardinals' previous three games.
Analysis: Kingsbury confirmed that both of Arizona's top two skill-position players will put an end to their three-game, four-week absences Week 13, as starting quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) also received the green light to return to the lineup. Hopkins' injury designation won't officially be lifted until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wideout should step back in as Murray's top target in the passing game. However, with Adam Schefter of ESPN…read more

Could have limited role, if active
Hopkins (hamstring) remains listed as questionable Sunday against the Bears, but he's expected to play and may handle a lighter role than usual, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hopkins has been out since Week 8 while dealing with a hamstring injury. Though the injury has healed to the point that he's expected to be able to play in some capacity, poor weather conditions in Chicago add increased risk of him experiencing a setback, which could cause the Cardinals to limit his snaps.

Officially questionable
Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins and coach Kliff Kingsbury downplayed the wideout's absence from Friday's practice, following limited participation Wednesday and Thursday. It might be nothing, but fantasy managers should stay tuned even after mid-week reports suggested both Hopkins and QB Kyler Murray (ankle) were on track to return this Sunday. Kingsbury, while mostly optimistic, did refer to both Hopkins and Murray as game-time decisions for Sunday. To that end, a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff could prove helpful, with the…read more

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with Chicago, Dana Scott of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Kingsbury seemed to downplay Hopkins' absence from the media-access portion of Friday's practice, saying the Cardinals wanted to be "smart" with their handling of the injury. Kingsbury also acknowledged some element of not wanting the opponent to know, especially when dealing with crucial players like Hopkins and QB Kyler Murray, who also is being treated as a game-time decision (with an ankle injury).

Hopkins (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Along with Hopkins, quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) was also a limited participant coming out of the Cardinals' Week 12 bye. Both players have sat out the Cardinals' last three games with their respective injuries, but both should have decent odds of returning to action Sunday in Chicago. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury noted Wednesday that the statuses of Hopkins and Murray for this weekend will hinge on how things go for them in the next two days of practice.

Hopkins (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Dana Scott of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Coming out of a Week 12 bye, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that he's hopeful Hopkins can return for Sunday's game in Chicago. The wideout's presence on the field for his first practice since Oct. 22 is a big step in the right direction, even if he's listed as a limited participant.

Analysis: Kingsbury said the same of quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle), but the coach added that he won't confirm anything until he's evaluated both offensive stars at practice.

With back-to-back games missed, he's matched his total DNPs from the first eight seasons of his career combined as he attempts to get past a nagging hamstring issue.

Analysis: Per Rapoport, unless Hopkins shows unexpected improvement as the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, Hopkins is trending toward sitting out for a second straight week.

Analysis: It doesn't exactly look promising for Hopkins, who missed another practice Friday while starting QB Kyler Murray (ankle) rejoined his teammates. Still, the Cardinals likely will list Hopkins as 'questionable' and give him another 48 hours to make progress with the hamstring before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

He didn't practice at all this week before receiving a questionable designation for Sunday, and that trended more towards 'out' as the Cardinals became less hopeful for active status, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Arizona not optimistic on status
The Cardinals aren't optimistic that Hopkins (hamstring) -- who is listed as questionable -- will be able to play Sunday against San Francisco, but he will test his injured hamstring in pregame warmups before a decision on his status is made, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hopkins appears to have made little progress in his recovery from the injury, which kept him from practicing Wednesday through Friday. Even if his condition takes a turn for the better following his warmup and he gains clearance to suit up, Hopkins may have to make due with backup quarterback Colt McCoy, as Kyler Murray is also being viewed as a game-time decision.

Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in San Francisco and is being viewed as a game-day decision by head coach Kliff Kingsbury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Since the Cardinals and 49ers won't kick off until 4:25 p.m. ET, fantasy managers planning on using Hopkins may have few alternatives at their disposal if the wideout ends up being sitting out or is limited in the contest.

Analysis: Hopkins, who headed into last Thursday's loss to the Packers as a game-time decision, was able to suit up for the contest, but he was limited to 15 snaps after apparently aggravating his hamstring issue.

Finishes with two receptions
Hopkins (hamstring) secured both targets for 66 yards in the Cardinals' 24-21 loss to the Packers on Thursday night. He spent large portions of the game sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports the receiver ran back onto the field on his own "a couple times" without the coaching staff's consent as the game went on.
Analysis: Weinfuss adds that coach Kliff Kingsbury clearly didn't seem pleased with his star receiver risking a potential longer-term injury, and even with Hopkins' attempts to help out his team, the Cardinals still ended up suffering their first loss of the season. Hopkins will now look to get back to health in time for a Week 9 road showdown with the Chiefs a week from Sunday.

Hopkins caught seven of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-5 win over the Texans.
Analysis: While he led the Cards in catches, setting a new season high in that category in the process, Hopkins was only third on the team in yardage. He still hauled in his seventh TD of the season in the second quarter, however -- more than he scored all of last year. Hopkins will look to keep rolling in a Week 8 clash with the Packers.

Finds end zone twice against Browns
Hopkins caught three of four targets for 55 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Browns.
Analysis: The veteran receiver still has yet to see double-digit targets in a game this year, with Sunday's paltry four tying his season low, but Hopkins still had little trouble putting together a huge fantasy performance. He has six TDs through six games, already matching his total from 2020, but the Cardinals' passing game might not need to do much in Week 7 at home against the struggling Texans, which would limit Hopkins' volume again.

Hopkins (illness) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins didn't get on the practice field prior to Friday as he dealt with an illness, which almost certainly was unrelated to COVID-19 considering his standing heading into the weekend. He'll face off Week 6 against a Browns defense that has conceded 181.6 total yards per game (15th most in the NFL) and five touchdowns to wide receivers in five contests this season.

Strong Week 5 effort
Hopkins caught six of nine targets for 87 yards and one touchdown against San Francisco on Sunday.
Analysis: The nine targets occurred on just 28 targeted pass attempts by Kyler Murray, meaning Hopkins drew more than 32 percent of Arizona's targets in the game. Murray threw for a modest 239 yards, and as a result Hopkins' box score was contained somewhat despite him playing at a dominant level.

With his return to a full practice, Hopkins is past his rib injury and in line to serve as the Cardinals' No. 1 WR, not only in name, but in terms of production. While playing through the pain Week 3 at Jacksonville, he logged a team-high 92-percent share of the snaps on offense…read more

Sitting out practice again
Hopkins missed Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins sat out every session last week with the same health concern, only to lead Arizona wide receivers in offensive snap share (88 percent), per usual, in Sunday's win over Jacksonville. The fact he was active may have been a ruse to free up fellow wideouts A.J. Green and Christian Kirk, who both surpassed 100 yards receiving while Hopkins settled for 21 yards on three catches and six targets. Hopkins has rarely missed games during his nine-year career, combining for two absences overall.…read more

Lackluster numbers in Week 3 win
Hopkins (rib) brought in three of six targets for 21 yards in the Cardinals' 31-19 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Hopkins' status was in doubt until inactives were announced 90 minutes before kickoff, and given his final numbers Sunday, he may have been best served sitting out the contest. The star wideout did tie A.J. Green for the second-most targets on the Cardinals, but he still limped to his lowest yardage tally since Week 6 of the 2017 season. Hopkins will aim to get healthier and back to his usual numbers in a tough Week 4 road divisional showdown against the Rams.

Suiting up Week 3
Hopkins (rib) is listed as active Sunday at Jacksonville, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins managed a rib injury this week and didn't practice at all, entering the weekend with a question hanging over his availability. There was an expectation he'd be a game-time call, and while he'll be available to the Cardinals it'll be interesting to see if he can handle his typical workload of 90-plus percent of the offensive snaps. Hopkins has yet to draw a massive target share this season, with just 12 looks through two games, but three of those have resulted in touchdowns.

Hopkins appears to be in line to attempt to play through his rib injury Sunday against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that his sources indicate that the wideout is "pretty confident" he'll play, "but not 100 (percent he will)." Fortunately for those considering Hopkins in Week 3 fantasy lineups, the Cardinals kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Listed as questionable, GTD
Hopkins (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As expected, after coach Kliff Kingsbury revealed earlier Friday that Hopkins would come down to a game-time decision ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The wideout didn't practice at all this week, but it might not mean as much for Hopkins as other players, given his long history of playing through nagging injuries without many practice reps. However, he typically logs at least one limited practice, so there is real cause for concern this week. If Hopkins ends up sitting, the Cardinals…read more

Will be a game-time call
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins (ribs) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: At this point, the Cardinals might as well make it a game-time call for strategic reasons even if they have a strong idea one way or the other. Hopkins reportedly missed a third straight practice Friday, but only after playing 59 snaps (97 percent) in the Week 2 win over Minnesota. If he ends up missing Week 3, the Cardinals could use each of A.J. Green, Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk in full-time roles, with Andy Isabella and Antoine Wesley then providing depth.

Not seen at practice
Hopkins (ribs) didn't participate in the open portion of Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins is a regular on the injury report and often misses practice, but three consecutive DNPs would nonetheless create some level of concern about his availability for Sunday's game in Jacksonville. Neither player nor team has said much about the rib injury, making it difficult to decipher if the Cardinals are genuinely concerned.

Remains sidelined at practice
Hopkins (ribs) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins has kicked off Week 3 prep with back-to-back DNPs, the result of a rib injury. Whether it's in Arizona or his previous employer in Houston, he's regularly received days off to tend to health concerns and also for maintenance. Hopkins will have one more chance to prove his health ahead of Sunday's visit to Jacksonville.

Missing from practice again
Hopkins (ribs) wasn't present for the open portion of Thursday's practice and is expected to go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' official report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The severity of Hopkins' rib injury isn't yet clear, but he's now opened the week with back-to-back absences at practice. In recent years, Hopkins has routinely sat out practices or handled light loads while managing minor injuries or even getting routine maintenance, so his lack of reps thus far in Week 3 doesn't necessarily put his availability for Sunday's game in Jacksonville in danger. The Cardinals will release their final practice report of the week Friday, which will provide more…read more

Dealing with rib injury
Hopkins didn't practice Wednesday due to a rib injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins has yet to hit the 100-yard mark through two contests, but he nonetheless has been productive, recording 10 catches (on 12 targets) for 137 yards and three touchdowns. He may be poised to reach triple digits in receiving yardage Sunday against a Jaguars defense that has allowed 11.2 yards per target to wideouts this season, the third-worst mark in the NFL. Having said that, Hopkins first will have to work his way through a health concern to be cleared for game action.

Reaches end zone again Week 2
Hopkins hauled in all four targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-33 win versus the Vikings.
Analysis: It was a reasonable enough follow-up to Hopkins' Week 1 receiving line of 6-83-2 on eight targets. However, in a game in which quarterback Kyler Murray piled up 400 yards and three TDs through the air, one would have hoped for more when looking at the box score. That's until the Vikings' defensive game plan is taken into account: Hopkins was on the receiving end of double coverage after recording four catches through the Cardinals' first two possessions of the game, and he didn't see a target…read more

Dominant Week 1 effort
Hopkins caught six receptions for 83 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets at Tennessee on Sunday.
Analysis: The Titans posed no resistance against Hopkins, who might have done more damage yet if not for the strong play of fellow wideouts Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore. Hopkins looks as locked in as ever, and given his high-volume role, he's a top option each week. That will remain the case in Week 2 as Hopkins takes on the Vikings.

Analysis: Hopkins hasn't been on the practice field much during training camp and even missed all the sessions leading up to Friday's exhibition, his second DNP this month. However, he doesn't need many reps to be ready for Week 1, when he'll still have Kyler Murray under center and a refurbished receiving corps around him, namely A.J.

Analysis: Hopkins missed practice last Wednesday and now has missed three consecutive sessions since Friday's preseason win over the Cowboys. Nagging injuries have been part of the package for a few years now, but we'll start to take notice if he still isn't back at practice by next week.

Hopkins doesn't necessarily require many practice reps to be in top form, and so far in training camp he's followed a similar regimen to his first campaign with the Cards last season, getting one vet day off and otherwise missing a few other practices.

Analysis: Per usual, Hopkins has received a veteran day off in training camp while also missing the occasional practice with an unspecified injury. Assuming he sits, he likely will be joined by Kyler Murray and A.J. Green (undisclosed), who also are in street clothes ahead of Friday's kickoff.

Analysis: Hopkins missed a practice or two in late July with a minor injury, and he received a veteran's day off last Thursday. The Cardinals haven't been able to keep any of their wide receivers on the practice field consistently, with A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore battling various unspecified injuries and Andy Isabella now landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list for a second time.

Analysis: Hopkins missed a practice last week with a minor undisclosed injury, but his latest absence has been chalked up to rest/maintenance. He's been in and out of practice for a few years now, typically playing through one lower-body injury or another without showing any ill effects.

Hopkins caught four of his 10 targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 18-7 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Hopkins still attracted a robust number of offensive looks in what turned out to be the Cardinals' 2020 finale, but a first-quarter injury to Kyler Murray (ankle) put a dent in the star receiver's output. With Murray unavailable for more than 40 minutes of game action before his fourth-quarter return, Hopkins produced his second-lowest yardage total of the 2020 campaign.

He continued to play through what was believed to be an upper-body injury, logging 91 percent of the offensive snaps while finishing with 48 yards on eight catches and 12 targets.

Analysis: Hopkins left the game near the end of the second quarter after hurting his upper body while going for a ball in the end zone, but he later returned to the game. Although he caught 75 percent of the passes thrown his way, he didn't record a single reception of 10 yards or longer as he finished with an average of 6.0 yards per catch.

Winning TD caps season-best effort
Hopkins caught nine of 11 targets for 169 yards and a touchdown while gaining one yard on his lone carry during Sunday's 33-26 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Hopkins averaged 18.8 yards per catch as he notched a new season high in yardage, thanks in large part to a 45-yard gain, which tied his second-longest of the campaign. He capped off his huge performance with the decisive 20-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Hopkins, who was coming off a big game against the Giants, now has 1,324 yards to go along with six touchdowns in his initial season with the Cardinals. He will look to add to his numbers next Saturday against the 49ers.

Analysis: Hopkins missed Wednesday's practice for non-injury reasons, rather than his typical absence or limited session due to a minor injury.

Analysis: Hopkins hauled in every pass thrown his way but struggled to break free against a talented Miami secondary.

Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he's "hopeful" that Hopkins (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks -- will be able to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The tone of Rapoport's report seemingly aligns with one issued late Saturday by Adam Schefter of ESPN, who relayed that the wideout is expected to play against Seattle despite turning in only one limited practice this week. A schedule change earlier in the week pushed the Seahawks-Cardinals game back from 4:25 p.m. ET to 8:20 p.m. ET, so Hopkins' fantasy managers will be forced to sweat out his status a little bit longer than initially anticipated. In the past, Hopkins has shown the ability to…read more

On track to play Sunday
Hopkins (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old's only practice participation of the week came in a limited session Friday, but it appears he'll be available to play Sunday despite receiving the questionable tag. Hopkins has been battling the ankle issue throughout October and has 15 receptions for 245 yards and one touchdown over three games during that stretch.

Questionable for NFC West battle
Hopkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Given his history of playing through nagging injuries, Hopkins' return to the practice field Friday -- albeit as a limited participant -- would seem to put him on track for the Sunday night battle between NFC West playoff contenders. An 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff is suboptimal for fantasy purposes, as there's some chance Hopkins' status could remain up in the air until the Cardinals release their inactive list around 6:50 p.m. ET. In the event of a Hopkins absence, KeeSean Johnson and Andy Isabella…read more

Returns to practice
Hopkins (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but there hasn't been any other indication his ankle injury is significant. He handled a full workload in Monday's 38-10 win over Dallas, catching two of eight targets for 73 yards. The Cardinals should have Hopkins available Sunday night against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Hopkins has yet to participate in practice this week, the result of an ankle injury. He's been relatively healthy in seven-plus seasons as a pro, missing just two of a possible 114 games, so his status bears watching on Friday's injury report.

Idle for second straight practice
Hopkins (ankle) wasn't on the field for the open portion of Thursday's team workout and is destined to go down as a non-participant on Arizona's practice report, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Coming off Monday's win over Dallas, Hopkins has now been sidelined for the first two of the Cardinals' three practices in Week 7. The Cardinals could just be giving the wideout some extra maintenance on a short week, but he'll still likely need to fit in some on-field activity during Friday's session in order for fantasy managers to feel better about his chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks. Hopkins was limited to a season-low two receptions against the Cowboys, but he salvaged his…read more

Tending to ankle injury
Hopkins didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Hopkins had varying levels of efficiency during Monday's blowout win at Dallas. Aside from a 60-yard catch-and-run, he otherwise hauled in just one of seven targets for 13 yards. On the season, he leads the NFL with 47 catches for 601 receiving yards, but he's tied for 34th with two touchdowns. Assuming he can get past his ankle injury and suit up Sunday, Hopkins will seek to add to his scoring total against a Seahawks defense that has given up seven touchdowns to wide receivers this season.

Breaks off 60-yard gain
Hopkins caught two of his eight targets for 73 receiving yards during Monday's 38-10 win against the Cowboys.
Analysis: The three-time All-Pro managed only one reception for 13 yards through the first three quarters, but he tore off a 60-yard catch-and-run on Kyler Murray's first completion of the second half -- which didn't arrive until the 10:44 mark of the fourth quarter. Arizona attempted just 24 passes throughout the entire contest, instead choosing to lean upon a ground attack that averaged an astronomical 7.5 yards per carry against the Cowboys' porous defense.

Breaks out late in win
Hopkins caught six of seven targets for 131 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: For most of the game, Hopkins was once again limited to short grabs, but that script got thrown out on one drive in the fourth quarter when he hauled in a 45-yard grab down the sideline, then capped the scoring on the afternoon with a 37-yard TD. Hopkins has now topped 130 receiving yards in three of his first five games as a Cardinal, and he'll be in a strong position to do it again in Week 6 against a reeling Cowboys defense.

Inefficient Week 4 performance
Hopkins recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 41 yards in a Week 4 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Hopkins continued to command plenty of targets, as he drew 29 percent of Kyler Murray's attempts. Despite hauling in a high percentage of those looks, Hopkins was unable to work deep down the field, with his longest reception going for only 13 yards. While he was able to suit up, Hopkins was held out of practice all week leading up to this contest, which may have hindered his ability to play at his usual explosive level. He'll look to return to form in Week 5 in a matchup against the Jets.

Hopkins (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, is "pushing to play," but he'll work out prior to the game before the Cardinals decide on his status for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport's report echoes an earlier dispatch from Adam Schefter of ESPN, which relayed that the star wideout is expected to play in the absence of any pregame setbacks. Confirmation of Hopkins' Week 4 status one way or the other will arrive upon the release of the Cardinals' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: The 28-year-old was considered a game-time decision by coach Kliff Kingsbury on Friday, but he's apparently likely to play Sunday if he can avoid a pregame setback.

Hopkins (ankle), a game-time decision, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The official designation was a foregone conclusion once coach Kliff Kingsbury referred to his star wideout as a game-time call. Kingsbury's statement didn't exactly provide clarity, as he first said "if [Hopkins] can go, he'll go", but he then mentioned that it was still early in the season and the team wouldn't want to put Hopkins on the field "if he isn't feeling his best," per Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site.

Analysis: The Cardinals kept Hopkins off the practice field throughout the week, but they haven't given up hope he can play in Sunday's game. A 'questionable' designation is all but assured at this point, with the final decision potentially being made just a few hours before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: Hopkins often played in games without logging much time on the practice field back in Houston, but it's nonetheless concerning to see him absent for a third straight day. This suggests he'll be listed as questionable, at best, when the Cardinals release their final injury report Friday afternoon. They have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Carolina on Sunday.

Hopkins (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Officially, Hopkins has yet to practice this week, but one session remains for him to make his presence felt. Even if he doesn't, he proved capable of logging little to no practice reps and still suiting up on game day in his previous stop in Houston, so there's a decent chance he can log another DNP and be available Sunday at Carolina. Friday's injury will give the final word on Hopkins' status going into the weekend.

Tending to ankle injury
Hopkins didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: During the Cardinals' Week 3 loss to the Lions, Hopkins handled his typical offensive snap share and target count, finishing with 10 catches for 137 yards on 12 targets. There was no indication that he was hindered, so his sudden appearance on the injury report is surprising, to say the least. No matter, he's been something of an ironman throughout his eight-year career, missing only two games during that span. Hopkins' status will be one to monitor closely as the week goes on.

Hopkins caught 10 of 12 targets for 137 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

He topped 130 receiving yards for the second time in three games with the Cardinals and has now managed to snare 22 of 25 targets in that same span.

Hopkins caught eight of nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-15 win over Washington.
Analysis: While he wasn't able to replicate the massive target volume he saw in his Cards debut, Hopkins was still Kyler Murray's favorite option on the day and grabbed his first TD in an Arizona uniform in the first quarter to open the scoring. Hopkins will look to keep rolling in Week 3 at home against a Lions defense that's surrendered 69 points through its first two games.

He was limited mostly to shorter catches but did a large chunk of damage on a 33-yard gain in the fourth quarter that came within a whisker of a touchdown, setting up Kenyan Drake's decisive one-yard plunge.

Analysis: Hopkins has been on and off the practice field since mid-August with what was termed early on as hamstring tightness. The Cardinals aren't required to file their first injury report of the season until Wednesday, so it's unclear if the offseason addition has received clearance for all on-field activities.

Though Hopkins (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle indicates that the wideout is "expected to play sparingly" in the contest.
Analysis: The Texans still have a chance move up from the AFC's No. 4 seed to the No. 3 spot with a win Sunday and a Kansas City loss, but it sounds like the team is inclined to proceed cautiously with Hopkins, especially if the Chiefs hold on to their third-quarter lead over the Chargers.

Analysis: Though coach Bill O'Brien has indicated that the Texans plan to play to win Sunday's contest, Houston would be unable to change its playoff seed if the Chiefs beat the Chargers.

Analysis: Hopkins' 23 yards were his smallest output since Week 6 of the 2017 season as Tampa Bay's defenders did well in keeping him in front of them, his longest gain of the day mustering just seven yards. Saturday was an overall sloppy performance by the Texans offense and it'd be foolish to overthink Hopkins' output, especially considering he entered Saturday with at least 90 yards in three of his prior four games. The regular season ends next Sunday against a Titans defense that surrendered 119…read more

Good to go
Hopkins (illness) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers after returning to a full practice Thursday.
Analysis: Hopkins sat out Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session Thursday paves the way for the Texans' top wideout to suit up this weekend. 14 games into his 2019 campaign, Hopkins -- who has topped 100 receiving yards in back-to-back outings -- has logged a fantasy-friendly 99/1,142/7 stat line.

Returns to practice
Hopkins (illness) was back at practice Thursday, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hopkins sat out practice Wednesday due to an illness, but the wideout's return to the field Thursday puts him on track to suit up Saturday against the Buccaneers. We'll circle back on Hopkins' status once the Texans' final Week 16 injury report is submitted to confirm, either way, whether he heads into the weekend minus an injury designation.

Under the weather
Hopkins didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.
Analysis: Hopkins should have ample time to recover before Saturday's game against the Buccaneers. A return to practice Thursday in any capacity would be the first step toward clearing up any doubt about the wideout's Week 16 status.

Eclipses century mark in win
Hopkins brought in six of eight targets for 119 yards in the Texans' 24-21 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Hopkins paced the Texans in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, consistently beating the Titans' porous coverage. The multi-time Pro Bowler now has back-to-back 100-yard games for only the second time this season, and he's just one reception away from a second consecutive 100-catch campaign. Hopkins will be primed for another fruitful fantasy day on fantasy championship weekend for many leagues when he sees the Buccaneers' lackluster secondary in a Week 16 matchup…read more

Season-high receiving total in loss
Hopkins caught seven of 13 targets for 120 yards and a touchdown while adding a 12-yard carry in Sunday's 38-24 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Hopkins scored a 43-yard touchdown in the third quarter with his team trailing 38-3. He also made a 19-yard catch on fourth-and-18 in the fourth quarter, leaving his imprint on the game even in a blowout loss. Hopkins' 120 receiving yards were a season high, and fantasy owners won't care that most of his production came in garbage time. He'll remain a must-start WR1 against the Titans in Week 15.

Leads team with 64 yards
Hopkins recorded five catches (eight targets) for 64 yards in Sunday's 28-22 win over New England. He also threw for a six-yard touchdown pass on a trick play.
Analysis: Hopkins drew a tough matchup against Stephon Gilmore -- widely considered the best man-to-man corner in the game -- so the pedestrian stat line (by his standards) shouldn't come as a huge surprise. The 27-year-old still led all Houston receivers with 64 yards in a contest where Deshaun Watson spread the ball out to eight different targets. The star wideout did contribute a score in an unconventional way, throwing his first career touchdown pass to quarterback Deshaun Watson on a gadget play.…read more

Finds end zone twice in Week 12 win
Hopkins secured six of eight targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' 20-17 win over the Colts on Thursday.
Analysis: Hopkins was likely due for some touchdowns after recording only four over his first 10 games, but it was the way he got in the end zone Thursday that was particularly eye-catching. Hopkins crossed the goal line from 35 and 30 yards in the second and fourth quarter, respectively, the latter score proving to be the difference in the contest. The multi-time Pro Bowler clearly seemed to benefit from the return of speedy teammate Will Fuller (hamstring) to the lineup, as Hopkins was able to exploit…read more

Seven catches in Week 11 loss
Hopkins secured seven of 12 targets for 80 yards in the Texans' 41-7 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Hopkins' line paced the Texans' pass-catching corps across the board, but it was a mostly empty line in the grand scheme of things. The Pro Bowler does have at least 80 receiving yards in three of the past four games, and he's logged no less than seven catches in six consecutive contests, giving him one of the most solid fantasy floors of any receiver. Hopkins will look to continue producing versus the Colts in a Week 12 Thursday night divisional matchup.

Eight catches, TD in London
Hopkins caught eight of 11 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars in London. He also rushed once for six yards.
Analysis: Hopkins' one-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter completed the scoring and erased any doubt about this one. The star wide receiver has caught at least eight balls in each of his past four games, totaling 37 receptions over that span. His yardage output wasn't impressive in this one, but Hopkins made up for that by scoring his fourth touchdown of the season. The buy-low window on Hopkins was open during his five-game touchdown drought, but it has long since slammed shut heading into Houston's…read more
