Battled through rib injury
Hopkins acknowledged that he played through a painful rib injury Sunday in the Texans' 51-31 loss to the Chiefs in the divisional round, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It's unclear at which point in the contest Hopkins suffered the injury, but after a brief examination in the locker room, he was deemed fit to return to action. Despite finishing the day with nine receptions for 118 yards on 14 targets, Hopkins' efforts weren't enough for the Houston offense to keep pace with a Patrick Mahomes-led attack that caught fire in the second quarter. The first-team All-Pro selection shouldn't be impacted by the injury by the time OTAs kick off in the spring, though he…read more

Nine catches during playoff loss
Hopkins corralled nine of 14 targets for 118 yards and fumbled once during Sunday's 51-31 divisional-round loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: The All-World receiver unsurprisingly dominated the target share with Houston's season on the line, commanding six more looks than any other Texan on Sunday and nearly 30 percent of the passing-game workload over the past two weeks combined. Hopkins' production picked up drastically after a slow start during the first quarter of the regular season. He averaged 85.7 receiving yards per game from Week 5 through Sunday's divisional-round defeat after managing 64.8 yards per contest between Weeks 1…read more

Leading receiver in wild-card win
Hopkins caught six of eight targets for 90 yards in Saturday's 22-19 overtime win over the Bills. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The entire Texans offense was stagnant in the first half as the team faced a 13-0 deficit heading into the third quarter, and things didn't seem much better for Houston coming out of halftime after Hopkins lost a fumble on his first catch of the game. He got rolling after that, however, making two big grabs to help set up a Deshaun Watson TD run that got the team on the board, and Hopkins was huge in the fourth quarter and OT as they completed the comeback. The All-Pro ended up leading all…read more

Doesn't leave bench in finale
Hopkins did not play in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Titans in Week 17.
Analysis: Texans head coach Bill O'Brien sat many regulars, including several that didn't dress. Hopkins developed an illness during the practice week, and the coach felt no need to expose him in what turned out to be a meaningless game for Houston.

In uniform, but not expected to play much
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. With Kenny Stills (knee) and Will Fuller (groin) inactive, look for DeAndre Carter, Keke Coutee and Steven Mitchell to handle the bulk of the team's Week 17 wideout duties.

Likely to rest Week 17
Hopkins (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, is expected to be active for the contest but won't be in line to play much, a source told Dianna Russini of ESPN.
Analysis: The Texans can move up from the AFC's No. 4 seed to the No. 3 spot with a win and a Kansas City loss, but coach Bill O'Brien apparently isn't inclined to expose Hopkins or quarterback Deshaun Watson (back) to injury with the postseason on the horizon. Houston may already be locked into the No. 4 seed by the time the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff arrives, as the Chiefs host the Chargers as part of the 1 p.m. ET slate. With Will Fuller (groin) out, Hopkins in line to see limited work, and Watson expected…read more

Listed as questionable
Hopkins (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after not practicing Friday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
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. Considering Kansas City kicks off at 1 p.m. ET and the Texans don't play until 4:25 p.m. ET, O'Brien could choose to rest or limit key players like Hopkins, even if they aren't included among the team's inactives.

Not practicing
Hopkins (illness) wasn't at practice Friday, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Texans will provide an update on Hopkins with the release of their final regular-season injury report later Friday. Even if Hopkins avoids an injury designation, there's some risk that he might not play or potentially have a reduced role in Week 17. The Chiefs and Chargers kick off at 1 p.m. Sunday, and a win by Kansas City would render the outcome of the Texans' regular-season finale -- which begins at 4:25 p.m. ET -- meaningless, with regards to Houston's playoff seeding.

Limited at practice
Hopkins (illness) logged a limited practice Thursday.
Analysis: Hopkins was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to work Thursday suggests that he'll be available for Sunday's contest versus the Titans. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the Texans' top wideout approaches the weekend listed as questionable or free of a Week 17 injury designation.

Hopkins (illness) was present for practice Thursday, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

Hopkins (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: At this stage, Hopkins' illness is unlikely to impact his status for Sunday's game against the Titans, but coach Bill O'Brien could still choose to rest or limit the workloads of some of the Texans' key players, with an eye toward protecting them for the postseason. For his part, O'Brien told Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle that the Texans plan to play to win Sunday.

Held down to 23 yards
Hopkins caught five of nine targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.
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.

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.

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

Returns to full practice
Hopkins (thumb) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Hopkins was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session puts the Texans' top wideout on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Eight games into the 2019 season, Hopkins is fourth in the NFL with 81 targets, which has yielded a PPR-friendly 60 catches (second in the league) for 617 yards and three TDs.

Limited by thumb issue
Hopkins was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a thumb injury, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Hopkins logged 76 of a possible 79 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Raiders, finishing the day with a season-high 11 catches (on 13 targets) for 109 yards. At this point, there's nothing to suggest that his availability for the Week 9 game against the Jaguars is in any danger.

Makes 11 catches in victory
Hopkins caught 11 of 13 targets for 109 yards during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: In the absence of Will Fuller (hamstring), Hopkins was targeted on 28 percent of his team's passes while exceeding the 100-yard mark for the second straight game. He averaged an underwhelming 9.9 yards per reception, but his season-high 11 grabs helped him to another productive day through sheer volume. Hopkins has come alive of late, with at least nine catches or 88 receiving yards in four straight games. He'll look to continue his recent success next Sunday on the road against the Jaguars.

Best game since opener
Hopkins caught nine of 12 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Hopkins looked like he had a second-quarter touchdown, but the play was called back because Deshaun Watson was in the grasp of a defender before he threw the ball. He indisputably scored from four yards out in the fourth quarter for his first touchdown since Week 1, and this was also the first time Hopkins topped the 100-yard mark since then. The buy-low window on the elite wide receiver may have closed with this effort, and he'll look to build on this performance against the Raiders in Week 8.

Hopkins (ribs) practiced fully Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The same applies to Will Fuller (calf, oblique), which sets the stage for the Texans' top two pass catchers to play Sunday against the Colts.

Analysis: Hopkins was on the field for 98 percent of the Texans' snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs, and with no injury setbacks reported since then, it's likely that his limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. Six weeks into the 2019 season, Hopkins is tied for fifth in the league with 56 targets.

Makes nine catches
Hopkins caught nine of 12 targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Although Hopkins caught 75 percent of the balls thrown his way, he was limited to very short gains outside his long of 18 yards. He also was targeted on a deep ball that could have resulted in a touchdown, only to see Deshaun Watson misfire on the play. Hopkins continues to draw plenty of targets each week, but he's struggled to break through the coverages most teams are rolling his way and has now been held under 75 receiving yards in four of the last five games.

Scoring drought endures
Hopkins caught seven of eight targets for 88 receiving yards during Sunday's 53-32 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: Hopkins has not recorded a touchdown catch or exceeded 70 receiving yards since Week 1, when he racked up 111 yards and two touchdowns against New Orleans. The two-time All-Pro wideout was held under 70 yards just four times in 16 regular-season appearances last year, and never went more than two consecutive games without recording a touchdown. Certainly the early returns on investment have not been there for Hopkins, but the uber-talented wideout has a chance of getting right Week 6 against a…read more

Held in check versus Panthers
Hopkins caught five of eight targets for 41 yards and threw an interception on his lone pass attempt during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Hopkins averaged a mere 8.2 yards per catch as he recorded a long gain of just 14 yards. He also attempted an ill-advised pass which resulted in an interception on a trick play in the red zone during the second quarter. After an electric season opener, Hopkins has struggled to the tune of 49.3 receiving yards per game with no touchdowns over the last three. He'll look to get back on track in a favorable home matchup with the Falcons next Sunday.

Hopkins hauled in six of his seven targets for 67 yards in Week 3 against the Chargers.
Analysis: Hopkins posted a strong catch rate, but couldn't shake loose of the Chargers defense. His longest reception went for 34 yards, with the rest of five receptions accounting for a total of just 33 yards. Since finding the end zone twice and posting 111 yards in Week 1, Hopkins has combined for just 107 yards with no touchdowns in his past two games. He'll look return to his dominant form in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Quiet afternoon against Jaguars
Hopkins corralled five of eight targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 13-12 win against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Sunday's modest offering marked just the second time over his past 27 regular-season appearances that Hopkins has been held to fewer than 50 receiving yards. Many participating in daily fantasy may have been dissuaded by a matchup against Jacksonville's uber-talented secondary, but Hopkins proved capable of producing against these same Jaguars in 2018, logging 15 catches for 197 yards and a touchdown in two outings against them. In Week 3, Hopkins will face a Chargers defense that has allowed a…read more

Hopkins (ribs) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Despite spending nearly all of last season on the injury report, Hopkins played all 16 games for a fifth time in six years. It appears the Texans will limit his practice reps once again, with Hopkins nursing a rib injury after he put up an 8-111-2 receiving line on a 98 percent snap share in Monday's 30-28 loss to the Saints. Hopkins doesn't seem to be in much danger of missing Sunday's matchup with Jalen Ramsey and the Jaguars.

Scores twice to start season
Hopkins caught eight of 13 targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 30-28 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Hopkins would've liked second chances on a couple incomplete passes thrown his way, but the All-Pro wideout still largely dazzled in his season debut. Along with a two-yard touchdown to close the second quarter, Hopkins broke free for a 16-yard score after halftime. He then marvelously pulled down a 38-yard reception on Houston's final offensive drive, setting up what looked to be the team's winning touchdown on the next play.

Makes preseason debut
Hopkins caught two of three targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Houston's preseason Week 2 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Hopkins, who opened training camp on the PUP list, made his preseason debut, playing on the opening series only. Quarterback Deshaun Watson played that series as well and looked sharp. Hopkins was targeted twice on throws inside the 5-yard line, the second resulting in his score.

Returns from PUP list
Hopkins (ankle) was removed from the PUP list to participate in Friday's practice, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: As expected, Hopkins spent just a few days on the PUP list while recovering from an ankle injury. He's been nicked up often the past couple seasons, but it's led to only one absence -- Week 17 of 2017 -- through six years in the NFL.

Dealing with ankle injury
Hopkins was placed on the PUP list due to an ankle injury that's considered minor, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hopkins battled through ankle, foot, thumb and hamstring injuries during the 2018 season, playing all 16 games en route to finishing second in the NFL with 1,572 receiving yards. He then suffered a shoulder sprain in a playoff loss to the Colts, essentially playing with one arm for much of the contest. Hopkins later revealed that the shoulder injury involved ligaments coming off the bone, but he seems to have made a full recovery while sitting out the Texans' offseason program. The new ankle…read more

Lands on PUP list
The Texans placed Hopkins (shoulder) on their Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hopkins revealed in early June that the shoulder injury he suffered in the postseason involved ligaments tearing off the bone and that it was more serious than the strain many originally believed it to be. The 27-year-old was plagued by injuries in 2018, as he dealt with thumb, ankle, foot and hamstring issues throughout the regular season but never missed a game. Hopkins won't be eligible to practice until he's taken off the PUP list.

Reveals severity of shoulder injury
Hopkins revealed over the weekend that the shoulder injury he suffered in the playoffs involved ligaments tearing off the bone, but he nonetheless plans to be in top condition for the start of training camp, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I'm resting my body and healing," Hopkins said. "This is going to be the best I've felt. I feel like I'm going to be better than ever."
Analysis: Hopkins was a constant on the Houston injury report in 2018, listed with thumb, ankle, foot and hamstring issues throughout the regular season yet never missing a game. He then suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during a playoff loss to Indianapolis, though it now sounds like the injury was a bit more serious than a typical sprain. After celebrating his 27th birthday last week, Hopkins doesn't sound even slightly concerned about his availability for training camp. He's missed one game…read more

Not worried about shoulder
Hopkins (shoulder) isn't worried about his health and says he's excited to work with new offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports. "Oh man, I'm good," Hopkins said. "I got a long time until our next game, so I'll be fine."
Analysis: Hopkins was listed on every injury report after Week 1 in 2018, but he never came close to missing any games despite dealing with thumb, ankle, foot and hamstring injuries. He then hurt the AC joint in his right shoulder during a playoff loss to the Colts, referring to the injury as a Grade 3 sprain after the game. It isn't entirely clear the initial diagnosis was accurate, as Hopkins' ability to continue playing might be taken as a hint that he actually suffered a Grade 2 sprain. In any case,…read more

Withdraws from Pro Bowl
Hopkins decided to withdraw from the Pro Bowl on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Pat McManamon of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hopkins was banged up entering Houston's wild-card loss to Indianapolis and went on to sprain the AC joint in his right shoulder before the final whistle. It's no surprise he'll drop out of the Pro Bowl in favor of rest. Cleveland's Jarvis Landry will take Hopkins' spot.

Plays through AC joint sprain
Hopkins said he suffered a Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during Saturday's 21-7 loss to the Colts, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hopkins' ability to play through such an injury indicates a certain level of pain tolerance. While he finished the game with five catches (on 10 targets) for 37 yards, he managed a 2-11-0 line on five looks after picking up the issue late in the first half. Hopkins will have the entire offseason to get healthy, but may be hard-pressed to fulfill his election to the Pro Bowl starting lineup on Jan. 27.

Good to go for wild-card game
Despite being a limited participant again Thursday, Hopkins (ankle) does not carry an injury tag into Saturday's wild-card game against the Colts.
Analysis: Hopkins has made a habit of being limited in practice throughout the season for various reasons, but it hasn't prevented him from missing a game yet this season. He should be all systems go for the Texans' wild-card game and will look to continue a stretch of three straight games with at least nine catches and 100 receiving yards. He has faced the Colts twice already this season, notching a touchdown in each game while combining for 14 grabs and 200 receiving yards.

Hopkins (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Hopkins was a limited participant in the vast majority of practices during the regular season, typically listed with either a foot, ankle or thumb injury or some combination of those issues. He should be fine for Saturday's playoff game against a Colts team that allowed him to rack up 14 catches for 205 and two scores over 22 targets in teams' previous two matchups.

Starts week limited
Hopkins (ankle) is listed as a limited participant on the Tuesday injury report.
Analysis: Consistently listed on the injury report, Hopkins never actually came close to missing a game this season. He caught 14 of 22 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns in two matchups with the Colts during the regular season, doing most of that damage in the first meeting back in Week 4. He figures to stay busy during Saturday's playoff game.

Reels in 12 catches
Hopkins caught 12 of 16 passes for 147 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Hopkins saved the best for last this year -- ending the regular season with season highs in catches and targets all while topping 100 yards for the third consecutive week. Hopkins made multiple highlight-reel catches Sunday, including a 43-yarder over Jalen Ramsey that set up a fourth-quarter field goal. Next up is likely a matchup against the winner of Sunday night's game between Indianapolis and Tennessee. Hopkins has played well against both this season.

Cleared for Week 17
Hopkins (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: After maintaining a limited standing on Texans injury reports all week, Hopkins was cleared to suit up as he normally does on gameday. In his first matchup of the season with the Jags in Week 7, he compiled three catches (on eight targets) for 50 yards and one touchdown. However, Jacksonville's defense will be without No. 2 cornerback A.J. Bouye (toe), which could open up more opportunities for Hopkins.

Hopkins (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Hopkins might not be cleared for full participation Friday in the Texans' final practice of the week, but there doesn't seem to be any real concern for his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. After first tweaking his ankle in the Week 15 win over the Jets, Hopkins took a questionable designation into the Week 16 loss to the Eagles, but ultimately played every snap of the contest and finished with nine receptions for 104 yards.

Analysis: There was some intrigue regarding Hopkins' Week 16 status, but the wideout was on the field for all 65 of the Texans' offensive snaps in the team's 32-30 loss to the Eagles, finishing with nine catches for 104 yards on 12 targets. With no setbacks in that contest, it seems safe to assume that Hopkins' limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Tops century mark in loss
Hopkins caught nine of 12 targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: Hopkins battled an ankle issue during the week, but he was able to turn in his second straight 100-yard effort. However, it marked just the second time this season that the 26-year-old had back-to-back 100-yard games. Unfortunately, he was held out of the end zone for the first time in three weeks. The Clemson product has a tough test Week 17 at home against Jacksonville, against whom he caught just three passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in Week 7.

Analysis: Hopkins has been regularly limited in practices this season primarily for maintenance purposes, but his restrictions in the Texans' Week 16 sessions looked to have been legitimately injury related after he tweaked his ankle in last weekend's win over the Jets.

Hopkins (ankle) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Seeing Hopkins on the injury report heading into the weekend raises an eyebrow, but the standout wide receiver has played through several nicks all season. His presence on the field becomes more important this weekend, when the Texans' sixth-ranked rushing offense could be without starting running back Lamar Miller, who is questionable due to an ankle injury.

Listed as questionable
Hopkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday.
Analysis: The designation implies that Hopkins, who has been a regular on the injury report all season but has yet to miss a game, is a bit more banged up than usual. Still, it would be quite surprising if he didn't suit up this weekend, with his active status a likely outcome that will be confirmed in advance of the first wave of kickoffs Sunday. Assuming he plays, Hopkins -- who has been targeted 33 times over his last three outings -- will be in line to handle a high-volume role in the Houston offense.

Analysis: Hopkins redeemed his season-worst yardage total by reeling in a seven-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to bring the Texans within three. The 26-year-old had not failed to reach 50 yards in any prior game this year, but he was happy to score for the first time in three contests.
