  • Misses first kick

    Hopkins converted two of three field-goal attempts and was not needed for extra-point kicks in Monday's 26-22 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Hopkins' makes from 43 and 55 yards bookended a 43-yarder that went wide left. He lined up for an extra-point kick, but Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski opted for a two-point conversation after a Pittsburgh penalty. The Browns went for two points following their other touchdown. Hopkins has made five of six FGA and his lone XPA following the team's wild ride with Cade York.

  • Consistent in opener

    Hopkins converted three of three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals in Week 1.

    Analysis: For one week, the Browns and all those interested in the team's fate could breathe a sigh of relief. After Cade York's uneven finish to 2022 and troubling signs exhibited during the preseason, a team with playoff ambitions brought in Hopkins to stabilize its kicking game. He did so opening week.

  • Traded to Cleveland

    The Browns traded a 2025 seventh-round draft pick to the Chargers in exchange for Hopkins on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins had been competing with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' kicking job, but the 32-year-old now is headed to Cleveland, where he's slated to take over for Cade York, who the Browns plan to cut, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hopkins is slated to debut with his new team Sunday, Sept. 10 against the Bengals.

  • Back at practice

    Hopkins (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins, who had been dealing with an unspecified injury, thus kicked for the first time since the second day of camp (July 27). Now that Hopkins is back on the field, the 32-year-old is slated to compete with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' Week 1 placekicking assignment. The two are listed as co-starters on the team's posted unofficial depth chart, but considering that Dicker has made 58 of 64 kicks (90.6 percent) of his attempts during camp thus far, Hopkins will need to look sharp going…read more

  • Dealing with injury

    Hopkins (undisclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins also didn't practice Sunday, and it's unclear if he took the field anytime between then and now. The 32-year-old is currently in competition with Cameron Dicker for the team's kicking duties, so any continued missed time could be detrimental to his chances.

  • Doesn't participate in scrimmage

    Hopkins didn't participate in Sunday's scrimmage due to an undisclosed injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Although it's unclear what health concern Hopkins is dealing with, he's battling a physical issue that has prevented him from kicking over the past week, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. He's competing with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' kicking job, and a timetable for Hopkins' return remains to be seen.

  • In line to compete for kicking job

    Hopkins (hamstring) is expected to compete with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' kicking job in 2023, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A hamstring injury limited Hopkins to five games in 2022, which paved the way for Dicker to close out the season as the team's placekicker. Dicker -- who the Chargers have extended a 2023 contract tender to -- made 19 of his 20 field-goal attempts in a Los Angeles uniform while connecting on all 22 of his extra-point tries. Prior to his injury, Hopkins had hit nine of his 10 field-goal attempts and made all 12 of his extra-point tries. With that in mind, as long as both kickers remain under…read more

  • Suffers setback

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Hopkins (hamstring) suffered a setback in his recovery, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: As a result of the setback, Hopkins was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, prompting the Chargers to sign Cameron Dicker to their active roster to replace him as the team's kicker. Hopkins has missed five of the team's last six contests due to a hamstring strain and will now be sidelined for at least four additional contests while on IR.

  • Hitting IR

    The Chargers placed Hopkins (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Hopkins has missed five of L.A.'s last six games due to a lingering hamstring strain and now will sit out at least four more. While he is sidelined, the team will roll with Cameron Dicker as its placekicker after signing him off the practice squad in a corresponding move.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Hopkins (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: With Hopkins, who last played in Week 6, still sidelined, Cameron Dicker is once again slated to handle the Chargers' kicking duties Sunday. Hopkins' next chance to suit up will arrive in Week 12 when Los Angeles faces Arizona on the road.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Hopkins (hamstring) is considered doubtful to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Hopkins has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for the Chargers' last three games, and he logged back-to-back DNPs over the first two practices of Week 11. While he did manage to participate in a limited capacity during Friday's session, the 32-year-old still appears set to sit out again Sunday. As a result, expect Cameron Dicker to continue filling in as the Bolts' starting kicker against Kansas City.

  • Doesn't practice again Thursday

    Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the Chargers' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Hopkins has now missed each of the Chargers' last three games due to a hamstring injury, and his absence from Thursday's session certainly doesn't help his chances of returning for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Cameron Dicker would likely fill in as Los Angeles' kicker in Week 11 should Hopkins eventually be ruled out.

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hopkins is expected to miss at least one more game while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, so his lack of participation Wednesday comes as no surprise. Over five games this season, the 32-year-old has made all but one of his 10 field-goal attempts while going a perfect 12-for-12 on point-after attempts. Cameron Dicker should continue to fill in for Hopkins against the Chiefs in Week 11.

  • Still one week from return

    Coach Brandon Staley relayed Monday that Hopkins (hamstring) is likely another week away from a return to action, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins so far has missed four games due to a strained hamstring, last suiting up in Week 6. Cameron Dicker has filled in for Hopkins the last two contests, and assuming Staley's prediction comes to pass, Dicker will do so again Sunday versus Kansas City.

  • Ruled out again

    Hopkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Hopkins -- who last suited up Week 6 -- still sidelined, Cameron Dicker is slated to be elevated from the practice squad to kick for the Chargers for the second straight game. Hopkins will target a potential return to action Week 11 versus Kansas City.

  • Still not practicing

    Hopkins (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins has now missed two consecutive games due to a hamstring issue, and his absence from Thursday's session doesn't help his chances of returning Sunday night in San Francisco. Although the 32-year-old will have one more opportunity to practice in some capacity Friday, fantasy managers should prepare for practice squad kicker Cameron Dicker to receive an elevation to the Chargers' active roster and make his third start (second for Los Angeles) of the season.

  • Ruled out for Week 9

    Hopkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Hopkins will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he suffered during Week 6. The veteran kicker was given a 2-to-4-week return timeline, so it's possible he's back for the Chargers' Week 10 matchup against the 49ers. In his stead, Taylor Bertolet will likely be elevated from the practice squad again.

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Hopkins (hamstring) is making progress but remains week-to-week, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins suffered a hamstring injury during Week 6 and was given a 2-to-4-week return timeline. After sitting out Week 7 and rehabbing during the team's Week 8 bye, the kicker looks like he may be sidelined for an additional contest. If Hopkins remains sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Taylor Bertolet will likely be elevated from the practice squad again.

  • Out 2-to-4 weeks, per HC

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Tuesday that Hopkins (hamstring) will be out 2-to-4 weeks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins remained in Monday's game after initially suffering a hamstring injury on his first kick of the contest and ended up connecting on four field goals, including a game-winning 39-yarder in overtime. It's unclear if staying in the game made the hamstring issue worse, but the Chargers may not have come away with a victory without Hopkins' persevering performance. In Hopkins' absence, Los Angeles is expected to promote Taylor Bertolet from its practice squad to serve as the primary kicker…read more

  • Expected to sit out Week 7

    Hopkins isn't expected to be available for the Chargers' Week 7 game against the Seahawks after injuring his hamstring in Monday's 19-16 overtime win over the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins initially tweaked his hamstring on an extra-point attempt following Austin Ekeler's second-quarter touchdown, but the kicker soldiered on and came up clutch for the Chargers. He went on to deliver a 37-yard field goal in the final minute of the second quarter, then added 31- and 35-yarders in the second half before drilling a game-winning 39-yard kick with 2:38 remaining in overtime. Fortunately for Hopkins, his injury doesn't seem to be a long-term concern, so he appears likely to…read more

  • PIcks up injury in win

    Hopkins (hamstring) said he felt "a pop" in his leg after his first kicking attempt in Monday's 19-16 overtime win against Denver, but he managed to play through the issue for the remainder of the contest, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins came into this game without an injury designation after missing last week's win against the Browns with a quadriceps injury, which also limited him in practice last Thursday and Friday. The 31-year-old temporarily exited Monday with a hamstring issue in the second quarter before returning to convert a 37-yard field goal with less than one minute remaining in the first half, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hopkins also appeared to be in considerable pain on his three…read more

  • Set to kick Monday

    Hopkins (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hopkins finally managed to log a full practice after weeks of limited participation. The veteran will now take over for Taylor Bertolet, who connected on three field goals in his lone stint as the replacement for Hopkins.

  • Remains limited at practice

    Hopkins (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins has yet to upgrade to full practice participation since coming out of the Chargers' Week 4 win over the Texans with the right quad injury. He wasn't able to play in last week's win over the Browns, and Hopkins may need to turn in a full practice Saturday for the Chargers to feel comfortable having him handle kicking duties Monday against the Broncos. If Hopkins ends up missing another game, Taylor Bertolet will likely be elevated from the practice squad to fill in at kicker once again.

    Hopkins (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant on the Chargers' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Hopkins was limited during the Chargers' first practice of Week 6 after sitting out his first game of the season due to a quad injury Sunday. As a result, Taylor Bertolet was activated to Los Angeles' active roster for the contest against Cleveland before reverting back to the practice squad. Hopkins converted five of his six field-goal attempts and all 11 of his PATs over the first four games of the season, and he'll have two more practices to increase his activity before Monday's game against…read more

    Analysis: Even though Hopkins was listed as questionable for Sunday's game, the writing was on the wall for him to sit out Week 5 after the Chargers elevated Taylor Bertolet from the practice squad Saturday. Bertolet will handle the kicking duties for the Chargers on Sunday, while Hopkins is sidelined for the first time this season due to the right quadriceps injury.

    Analysis: Hopkins was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, so he has a chance to suit up for Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If, however, his quad doesn't respond as hoped, the Chargers have the option of elevating Taylor Bertolet from their practice squad ahead of Week 5 action.

While the severity of his injury remains unclear, Hopkins will have one more chance to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his availability for Sunday's contest in Cleveland.

    Analysis: Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during the team's Week 4 win over the Texans, but he appears to have come away from the game with an injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have two more practices to shake off the injury before team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

  • Perfect yet again

    Hopkins converted both of his field goals and all four of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Save for a 49-yarder back in Week 1, Hopkins has been perfect on both field goals and extra points, but it's Los Angeles' success in terms of red-zone efficiency that has limited the veteran kicker to just six attempts to date. Expect Hopkins to once again see some opportunities in a Week 5 matchup against the Browns.

  • Hits short field goal

    Hopkins made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point attempt in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Hopkins has yet to make a field goal beyond 31 yards, but the Chargers have either been incredibly efficient offensively or completely non-existent, which was the case Sunday. Expect more kicking opportunities in what should be a high-scoring Week 4 matchup against the Texans.

  • Perfect in loss

    Hopkins converted his only field-goal attempt and also knocked home all three of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Hopkins drilled a 31-yarder on his only attempt in the contest. The usually aggressive Chargers offense was surprisingly reserved throughout large portions of the game, which might have limited Hopkins' fantasy upside. Expect the kicker to have plenty of opportunities in what figures to be a solid matchup against the Jaguars in Week 3.

    Hopkins made one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Hopkins converted from 43 yards to cap the Chargers' opening drive of the season. He subsequently missed a 49-yarder wide left in the second half, but Los Angeles still held onto its victory. Next up for Hopkins is a quick turnaround, as he'll face the Chiefs on Thursday night in Week 2.

    Hopkins signed a three-year, $9 million extension with the Chargers on Sunday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Hopkins was let go by Washington midway through the 2021 season, but he latched on with the Chargers for the final 11 games of the year. During his time in Los Angeles, he converted 18 of 20 field-goal attempts and 30 of 32 extra-point tries. The 31-year-old will return to the team on a multi-year deal that includes $4.6 million of guaranteed money.

  • Solid campaign with Bolts

    Hopkins connected on 18 of his 20 field-goal attempts with the Chargers and also made 30 of his 32 extra-point attempts. Combined with his six-game stint with Washington, the veteran finished the 2021 season 30 of 34 on field-goal attempts and 40 of 44 on extra points.

    Analysis: Three of Hopkins' four misses came on attempts from 50-plus yards, a continuation of a three-year slump when it comes to long-distance kicks for the 30-year-old. After a seven-year stint with Washington, the franchise cut him halfway through the 2021 season and the Chargers almost immediately scooped him up, stabilizing the kicker position for the most part from that point forward. It seems likely Hopkins will be retained by the Chargers, although don't rule out someone with a bigger leg being…read more

    Analysis: Hopkins returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list to convert from 19 and 23 yards on his field goals.

    Hopkins (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Hopkins needed just four days to be activated off the list, just in time to take part in the Chargers' pivotal contest against the Broncos on Sunday. The veteran kicker has been a consistent option since joining the team back in October, missing just one field goal across 16 attempts.

    Analysis: Hopkins has been on point for most of his current nine-game run in L.A., missing one of 16 field-goal attempts and two of 25 point-after tries. The production amounts to 7.6 points per game, but now he's in danger of logging his first absence as a member of the Chargers.

  • Another perfect week

    Hopkins made all four extra-point attempts during Thursday's 34-28 overtime loss against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Thursday marked Hopkins' second game of the season without a field-goal attempt. The 31-year-old kicker made all four of his extra-point opportunities, but Los Angeles elected to attempt multiple fourth-down conversions despite being well within field-goal range. Although Hopkins didn't receive any field-goal opportunities this week, the Chargers will face a struggling Texans defense in Week 16, which could make for a high-scoring outing for Hopkins.

  • Perfect day in win

    Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts along with all four of his extra points in Sunday's 37-21 win over New York.

    Analysis: After two Chargers offensive drives stalled in the red zone, Hopkins was able to drill a pair of chip-shot field goals. In addition, the veteran kicker was able to convert on a 39-yard field goal which extended the Chargers lead to 30-7. Since joining Los Angeles, Hopkins has converted on 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and 19 of 21 extra points, making him a valuable kicker in most fantasy leagues.

  • Misses extra point

    Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts but missed one of his four extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Hopkins converted from 43 yards on both his field goals, but his failed PAT gives him a missed kick in back-to-back weeks. On the bright side, Hopkins still notched nine points, bringing his season total up to 88 through 12 appearances.

  • Misses lone field goal

    Hopkins missed his lone field-goal attempt but did make his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Hopkins isn't known to have a big leg so it wasn't exactly surprising to see the veteran miss a 52-yard field goal Sunday, his first miss since joining the Chargers. In fact, the 30-year-old is just 5-of-10 from 50-plus yards since 2019. The Chargers struggled mightily to move the ball against the Broncos, but with a number of high-octane matchups on tap, it's possible Hopkins could have some fantasy value in the weeks to come.

  • Perfect in big win

    Hopkins made both field-goal attempts along with all five of his extra points in the 41-37 victory over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hopkins was able to convert on a 30-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 41-yard field goal in the third quarter, although the latter was initially missed before an offsides penalty allowed for a re-kick. The veteran kicker has now made all seven of his field-goal attempts since joining the Chargers.

    Hopkins converted on both his field-goal attempts along with both extra points in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Hopkins was able to drill a 46-yard field goal early in the second quarter while also making a chip-shot 24-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Unlike last week in which the veteran kicker missed an extra point, Hopkins made both of his extra-point attempts this go around, moving him to 16-of-19 on the year for extra points. The 31-year-old continues to benefit from his change of scenery to a more high-powered offense where he's had many more kicking opportunities.

  • Kicks game-winning field goal

    Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts while converting only one of his two extra points in Sunday's 27-24 win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Along with Hopkins' clutch game-winning field goal with only two seconds left on the clock, he executed a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter after the Chargers stalled in the red zone. The former Washington kicker has been perfect on field goals since joining Los Angeles, going 3-for-3 in just two games. However, the veteran kicker's inconsistencies on extra points continued as his Week 9 miss dropped him to 14 of 17 on the season. With five teams on bye in Week 10, Hopkins could be a…read more

    Hopkins made all three extra-point attempts and one field goal for 48 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Hopkins was released two weeks ago by Washington and promptly made his debut with the Chargers after the team cut struggling kicker Tristan Vizcaino. The 31-year-old placekicker has made 13 of 15 field-goal attempts along with 13 of 15 extra-point tries on the season. Hopkins remains a viable fantasy option in a high-powered Chargers offense.

    Analysis: Hopkins was let go by Washington last week but it didn't take him long to latch on with a new team. He went 12-for-14 on field goals and 10-for-12 on PATs before being released, and he should now benefit from Los Angeles' more explosive offense. Tristan Vizcaino, who missed one field goal and five extra points in six games, was cut by the Chargers in a corresponding move.

    Hopkins made two of his three field-goal attempts while converting his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Hopkins was perfect on seven field-goal attempts across the last four weeks and made a pair of field goals in the first half of Sunday's Week 6 matchup. However, he missed a 42-yard try wide left early in the third quarter. The 31-year-old has made 12 of 14 field-goal attempts while converting 10 of 12 extra-point tries in 2021.

    Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Hopkins opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter that was set up by a Jameis Winston interception. The 31-year-old was then called upon twice for chip shots under 25 yards and connected on both of them easily. The perfect day for Hopkins was much needed after the seven-year veteran missed two extra-point attempts Week 4. He remains a reliable fantasy option as long as Washington's offense continues to move the ball well.

    Analysis: Hopkins' only miss of the season before Sunday was a 50-plus yard attempt in Week 1. His extra-point struggles are concerning, but Washington will likely let the seven-year veteran work through his woes. The 31-year-old kicker has never made less than 92 percent of his extra-point attempts, so expect him to bounce back in Week 5.

    Analysis: Washington turned the ball over twice on its first three possessions and fell behind 21-0 early in the second quarter. Hopkins' production was limited due to the large deficit, but he was able to salvage his fantasy output by connecting on his extra-point attempts. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back against the Falcons in Week 4.

    Hopkins made all three of his extra points and all three of his field goals -- including a 43-yard game-winner as time expired -- during Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: All three of Hopkins' field goals came in the second half after the Giants took a 20-14 lead. The teams exchanged field goals on four consecutive possessions before Washington claimed the lead with a two-play, 75-yard drive to take a 27-26 lead. After the Giants responded with a field goal, Taylor Heinicke led an 11-play drive that set Hopkins up for the 43-yard game-winning kick as time expired. The 30-year-old is a perfect 6-for-6 from inside 50 yards this season.

    Hopkins made three of his four field-goal attempts and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Hopkins accounted for Washington's first nine points of the season, converting field goals from 30, 43 and 48 yards. His only miss come on a 51-yard attempt, which he pushed wide left. It was a solid start to the season for Hopkins, as he managed to make only 15 of his 21 field-goal attempts from 40 yards or more in 2020.

  • Staying with Washington

    Hopkins is signing a one-year, $2.5 million contract with Washington, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With nearly $1.9 million guaranteed, anything short of a complete meltdown in training camp should send Hopkins into Week 1 as Washington's kicker. He hasn't gained much traction in fantasy football since the Kirk Cousins era, but Hopkins could re-emerge on the radar if his team continues to improve. Hopkins will turn 31 in October, and he has career conversion rates of 83.9 percent (FGs) and 94.9 percent (PAT), i.e. close to league-average.

    Analysis: Ben Standig of The Athletic adds that Hopkins' deal, which is expected to be signed after free agency officially begins March 17, will be for one year. The veteran kicker boasts an 84 percent field-goal conversion rate over six seasons in Washington, though in 2020 he converted just 27 of 34 field-goal tries (79 percent) over 16 regular-season games.

  • Mostly mediocre

    Hopkins played all 16 games in the 2020 regular season, converting 27 of 34 field-goal attempts (79.4 percent) and 30 of 32 (93.8 percent) point-after tries.

    Analysis: The FG percentage was a career low, but that's partially due to half his attempts (17) coming in the 40-49 yard range. Hopkins made 13 of those kicks and two of four from 50-plus, while he went 12 of 13 inside of 40 yards. The 30-year-old can become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and his career 83.9 percent conversion rate on field goals should ensure he finds work.

The veteran kicker has now made 23 of 30 field-goal tries and 27 of 29 extra-point attempts this season. While Hopkins has been a bit inconsistent this season, this was the first time since Week 7 that he failed to connect on two or more field-goal tries.

His performance is a larger concern than his health, as he's connected on just 14 of 20 field-goal attempts (70 percent) this season.

It was another uninspiring effort by the 30-year-old kicker, however, as he's now made just 14 of 20 field-goal tries this year, so questions about his job security continue to loom large.

It's been a rough year for him overall, with five missed field goals and one shanked extra point through nine games.

    Analysis: Hopkins has been playing through the groin injury in recent weeks, though it may be affecting his accuracy, as he had a costly miss in last week's three-point loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Washington's lethargic offense hasn't provided many opportunities for Hopkins this season. He's made five of seven field goals and eight of nine extra points, and his 48-yarder Sunday ties his season long. Washington has faced some tough competition lately, but it will get an appealing matchup against the Giants next week. The Giants have allowed 26.6 points per game -- the 14th most in the league -- so Hopkins could be a decent stream in deeper fantasy formats.

    Analysis: Hopkins drilled the left upright on a 54-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he connected on a 43-yarder as time expired in the first half. He's been a bit iffy from range this year, making just two of four attempts from beyond 40 yards. Hopkins doesn't get many opportunities because Washington often trails late in games and goes for it on fourth downs in the second half, so he's tough to depend on unless the team's offense turns a corner.

  • Misses extra point

    Hopkins made two of three extra points but didn't attempt a field goal in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Washington's offense was a rollercoaster in Week 3, turning the ball over five times but converting on all three red-zone trips. That didn't bode well for Hopkins, and the kicker also missed an extra point. The team could struggle to move the ball against the Ravens in Week 4, so Hopkins will be a risky fantasy play.

  • Drills lone kick

    Hopkins connected on a 24-yard field goal -- his lone kick -- in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The Football Team never got into field-goal range in the first half, and they entered halftime down 20-0. As a result, Hopkins was only afforded one field-goal try, as Washington attempted two-point conversions following both touchdowns in the fourth quarter. These sorts of game scripts won't be unusual for Washington this season, but considering the Browns have let up at least 30 points in both games this year, Hopkins could have a decent opportunity in Week 3.

  • Makes five kicks

    Hopkins converted both extra-point attempts and went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old missed his first kick of the day as he pulled a 48-yard field goal wide left during the second quarter, but he rebounded to make field goals from 38 and 40 yards. Hopkins went 25-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-22 on extra-points in 16 games last season.

  • Puts forth another solid season

    Hopkins converted 25 of 30 field-goal attempts (83.3 percent) and 21 of 22 PATs (95.5 percent) in 2019.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old kicker played all 16 games for a second year in a row, and he's now gone five consecutive seasons converting at least 81 percent of his FGAs. Hopkins isn't among the league's elite at his position, but he's probably good enough to preclude serious competition for 2020, the final season of his three-year, $7.45 million contract. It remains to be seen if the new front office in Washington is interested in discussing an extension.

  • Attempts zero field goals

    Hopkins converted all five extra-points and did not attempt a field goal during Sunday's 41-35 overtime loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old didn't attempt a field goal for the third time this season, despite the Redskins posting their highest point total of the year. The 29-year-old is 22-for-27 on field goals and 20-for-21 on extra-point tries through 15 games this season.

  • Connects on five kicks

    Hopkins made two field goals and three extra points in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Hopkins set a season high when he connected from 53 yards in the fourth quarter, and he drilled a 43-yarder on the next drive. The 29-year-old kicker is enjoying a decent season, as he's made 22 of 27 kicks (81 percent). The Redskins host the Giants in Week 16.

  • Misses extra point

    Hopkins made his lone field-goal attempt but missed an extra-point attempt during Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The extra-point ended up costing Hopkins two points, since it forced the Redskins into a failed two-point conversion on their second touchdown. The 29-year-old was able to salvage some value with a 52-yard field goal, which is his first make from 50-plus yards this season. Hopkins had multiple field-goal attempts in each of the previous five games, but the inconsistent Washington offense makes him a risky fantasy option.

  • Makes three field goals

    Hopkins converted three of four field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Hopkins had a 49-yard field goal blocked heading into halftime, but he still made attempts from 25, 36 and 42 yards. The 29-year-old has three-plus field-goal attempts in four of the last five games, as the Redskins continue to struggle finishing drives. Hopkins is 19-for-24 on field goals and has yet to miss an extra point on 12 tries.

  • Perfect on five kicks

    Hopkins made all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Washington's inability to finish drives provided Hopkins with a bevy of opportunities, as he converted field goals from 28, 37, 39 and 42 yards, including the game-winning shot with 16 seconds remaining. The Redskins' inconsistent offense makes the 29-year-old a risky fantasy option, but he's nonetheless 11-for-12 on field goals over the last four games. Astoundingly, Sunday's PAT was Hopkins' first since Week 6.

  • Converts one of two FGs

    Hopkins made one of two field-goal attempts during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Hopkins had both attempts come during the second quarter, but he hit the right upright on the second attempt and didn't have another chance the rest of the game. The Redskins attempted two-point conversions on both their fourth-quarter touchdowns. Hopkins is 12-for-16 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points this season and is a risky fantasy option due to the struggling offense.

  • Another perfect day

    Hopkins converted all three field-goal tries during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Hopkins accounted for the entirety of Washington's points for a second straight week. In the last two games, Hopkins has exceeded his field-goal count from the first seven weeks of the season. He'll remain difficult to trust for fantasy production as long as the Redskins' inability to consistently move the offense lingers.
