Contributes 10 points in loss
Hopkins converted three of four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Hopkins' lone miss came from 52 yards, a kick made longer after Cedric Tillman lost five yards on a third-and-1 end around. The game was deadlocked at 10-10 at the time, meaning a successful Hopkins kick could have altered the trajectory of the contest. Cleveland's mess of an offense has impacted Hopkins, who averaged 8.2 points per game in 2023 but stands at just 6.2 through six contests this season.

Back on track in loss
Hopkins converted both of his field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders in Week 5.
Analysis: Hopkins, who had misses in each of the last two games, nailed all five his kicks. The field goals were from 51 and 31 yards. Hopkins averaged 8.2 points per game in 2023, but the Browns' sputtering offense in 2024 has impacted his value. The kicker is averaging just 5.4 points per game through five weeks.

Costly XP miss
Hopkins successfully converted his lone field-goal attempt and one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas in Week 4.
Analysis: Hopkins rebounded from his first FGA miss in Week 3 by driving one through the uprights from 56 yards away, but the extra-point fail was costly. He was wide left early in the fourth quarter, a kick that would have left the Browns one score down instead of two had it been successful. That later proved to be critical when when Deshaun Watson was sacked inside the red zone on fourth down on the team's final possession. It's unlikely the miss will impact Hopkins' job, and the 1-3 Browns have many…read more

Misses first FGA in loss
Hopkins missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants in Week 3.
Analysis: Hopkins was wide left on a 53-yard effort early in the third quarter, his first missed field-goal attempt of the season. The Browns opted to go for two points following their second touchdown, which limited Hopkins to one point. It was the second time in three games that Hopkins had five points or fewer in game, a reflection of an offense that's sputtered thus far.

Analysis: Hopkins drilled kicks of 53, 38 and 44 yards in the win. He's made all seven of his kicks and scored 15 points through the first two weeks. While with the Browns, Hopkins has converted 37 of 40 field-goal attempts (92.5 percent), including all 10 from beyond the 50.

Perfect in opener
Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys in Week 1.
Analysis: Hopkins was the only thing perfect in an ugly Cleveland loss. He nailed a 51-yarder to give the Browns a first-quarter lead and drilled a couple of extra points in the second half when the game was out of hand. Hopkins has been successful on 73 of 81 (90.1 percent) field-goal attempts since 2021.

Hopkins (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hopkins is ready to roll for Sunday's season opener against the Cowboys. The veteran kicker dealt with an undisclosed minor injury during the second half of August, but Hopkins never appeared at major risk of missing Week 1.

Should be fine for Sunday
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Hopkins (undisclosed) is "fine," despite the fact that the kicker did not practice Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hopkins is still dealing with the unknown minor injury, but the Browns don't seem to have much doubt about his availability for Sunday's season opener against the Cowboys. The team has no other kicker on the roster or practice squad, so unless that changes, Hopkins should be good to go for Week 1.

Dealing with minor injury
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Saturday that Hopkins is dealing with a minor injury but will be ready for the regular season, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Hopkins expected to be available Week 1, fantasy managers should read nothing into Cade York handling the kicking chores the first two preseason games. Using York could also be a showcase for a potential trade suitor later this summer.

Agrees to three-year extension
Hopkins agreed to terms Monday on a three-year, $15.9 million extension with the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hopkins' extension ties him to Cleveland through the 2027 campaign and makes him the fifth-highest-paid kicker in the NFL, tied with Ka'imi Fairbairn at $5.3 million annually. Across 15 games last season, the veteran kicker converted 33 of 36 field-goal attempts and 24 of 26 extra-point tries. At 92 percent, Hopkins' field-goal conversion rate in 2023 was the highest of his career.

Past hamstring injury
Coach Kevin Stefanski relayed earlier this week that Hopkins has recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained last December, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone.com reports.
Analysis: The injury sidelined Hopkins for the Browns' last two regular-season games, as well as the team's playoff loss to the Texans. Per Petrak, Hopkins wasn't initially present for this week's voluntary OTAs, but once the kicker returns to the mix, he'll be set to lead a kicking corps that also includes Cade York and Lucas Havrisik.

Injury lingers over offseason
Hopkins (hamstring) finished the season with 123 points over 15 games. He was successful on 33 of 36 field-goal attempts and 24 of 26 extra-point kicks.
Analysis: Hopkins was a savior to Cleveland's kicking troubles over the previous two seasons and led the NFL in field-goals made at the time of his injury. The hamstring remains a concern entering the offseason. He has one year left on his contract and should return to the Browns if he's ready to compete by training camp.

Analysis: Hopkins missed the Browns' final two regular-season games while recovering from a left hamstring injury, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday as the team resumes practicing ahead of this weekend's postseason opener, per Trotter.

Hopkins (hamstring) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hopkins missed the Browns' win versus the Jets in Week 17 due to the left hamstring issue, which is now also putting his availability for Week 18 in question. He'll probably need to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bengals.

Analysis: Cleveland signed Riley Patterson to its practice squad Monday and will likely elevate him to the roster for at least this week's game to handle kicking duties.

Boots clutch field goal
Hopkins converted two of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears in Week 15.
Analysis: Hopkins calmly drilled a 34-yard field goal with 32 seconds left to complete a comeback victory. The kicker made two field goals as part of Cleveland's 13-point fourth quarter, while the Browns' defense contributed key stops.

Sets franchise record in win
Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point kicks in Sunday's 31-27 win over Jacksonville in Week 14.
Analysis: Hopkins nailed a 55-yarder with 3:10 left in the game, giving the Browns a two-score lead. The make -- his eighth in eight attempts from beyond 50 yards -- was his 31st of the season, which leads the NFL and set a new franchise record. This was the first game since Week 4 that Hopkins had fewer than two field-goal attempts, which indicates quarterback Joe Flacco is changing an offense that slumbered with PJ Walker and Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.

Hopkins converted both of his field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.
Analysis: The missed extra point, which left Cleveland trailing 20-19 early in the fourth quarter, had the potential to loom large, but Los Angeles ripped off 16 straight points against what has been an elite NFL defense in 2023. The Browns' offense totaled minus-5 yards over its final three drives while the Rams blew the game open. Other than his second missed extra-point kick, Hopkins was his usual reliable self.

Makes both FGA
Hopkins converted both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos in Week 12.
Analysis: Hopkins was perfect for a third consecutive week, calmly finishing off drives with kicks from 36 and 24 yards. Sunday's game was his seventh straight with multiple field goals made. The Browns offense has been spotty all season, particularly when backup quarterbacks are on the field, resulting in a league-leading 31 attempts in 2023. As such, Hopkins remains a legit fantasy kicker and is tied for the lead in placekicker points with 99.

Overcomes missed XP
Hopkins successfully converted four of four field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point kicks in Sundays' 33-31 win over the Ravens in Week 10.
Analysis: As the Browns rallied in the second half, Hopkins missed extra-point loomed large, as the Ravens clung to a one-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. However, the placekicker made up for the miss with a 40-yard field goal as time expired to complete the comeback win. The missed extra point, his first of the season, could have hurt, but Hopkins has been vital to the team's success in 2023.

Hopkins successfully converted two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 27-0 win over the Cardinals in Week 9.
Analysis: Hopkins missed his third FGA of the season -- all three have been wide left and in the 40-to-49-yard range -- but it had no impact on the final result, as Cleveland's defense made sure Arizona didn't get a whiff of the end zone. The steady Hopkins is 20-for-23 on field goals and has made all 13 extra-point kicks.

Perfect in loss
Hopkins converted two of two field-goal attempts and both extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-20 loss to Seattle in Week 8.
Analysis: Hopkins wasn't tested too hard, drilling two second-half attempts from 25 and 27 yards. Those kicks looked to be the difference, but quarterback PJ Walker's late interception gave the Seahawks possession near midfield, and the Browns' stout defense couldn't prevent the game-winning touchdown. Hopkins has converted 18 of 20 field-goal attempts (10 of 11 the last three games) and is tied for sixth in kicker scoring with 64 points.

His 13 points were a season high and necessary on a day when the offense was led by former practice squad quarterback PJ Walker.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 31-year-old was then called upon twice for chip shots under 25 yards and connected on both of them easily.

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.

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.

Rings up seven points
Hopkins made both field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Washington's offense struggled mightily with Dwayne Haskins under center, but Hopkins still managed to hit field goals from 48 and 26 yards before Haskins was benched. Hopkins underwent a rough spell through the middle part of the season, but he's now hit 11 of 12 field-goal tries over the last five games, including six kicks from beyond 40 yards.

Misses extra point
Hopkins made a 48-yard field goal but missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Hopkins made his 12th field goal from beyond 40 yards this season, and he's now 12 for 18 from that range. 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. He'll look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Panthers.

Rings up 11 points
Hopkins made three of four field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Hopkins hit a 51-yard field goal, tying his season long, and he added two more kicks from within 40 yards. While he did miss a 53-yarder, that was his first miss in three games. Hopkins has now made eight of nine field-goal attempts and all nine extra-point tries over the last three games. He'll look to keep it rolling against the Seahawks in Week 15.

Automatic Monday
Hopkins went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both extra-point tries in Monday's win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Hopkins nailed all three field-goal attempts from the 40-49 yard range Monday. Since Washington's Week 8 bye, Hopkins has gone 11-for-13 on field-goal attempts -- with all but one attempt coming from at least 30 yards out.

Nails seven kicks
Hopkins connected on both field-goals attempts and all five extra-point tries in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: This was arguably Hopkins' best performance of 2020, as he avoided missing a kick for just the fourth time this season. Washington's offense rolled the Cowboys, too, providing him ample opportunities to come through for fantasy managers. However, a Week 13 matchup against the Steelers could prove tough for the Football Team to get rolling against.

Available Thursday
Hopkins (groin) is listed as active Thursday at Dallas.
Analysis: Hopkins didn't practice at all this week, but Washington opted not to add a kicker to the active roster in advance of this game, signaling he was slated to play Week 12. Indeed, he'll be available against the Cowboys' bottom-ranked scoring defense (31.8 points per game).

Should be available Thursday
With Washington not adding another kicker to the team's active roster, it appears as though Hopkins (groin) is in line to play Thursday against Dallas, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hopkins' Week 12 status will be confirmed when Washington's inactives are posted prior to Thursday's 4:30 ET kickoff. Through 10 games this season, Hopkins has averaged six points, a tally that limits the kicker's fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Draws questionable tag
Hopkins (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Hopkins wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week due to a lingering groin issue, but the same injury hasn't stopped him from suiting up for Washington's last two games. The veteran kicker thus appears on track to suit up Thursday, but Kaare Vedvik lies in wait on the practice squad in case of emergency.

Hopkins (groin) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: Hopkins' practice reps have been managed carefully since Week 10 while he's dealing with a right groin injury, but the kicker has proceeded to play in each of Washington's past two games, converting four of six field-goal attempts and nailing all five extra-point tries between those contests.

Back on injury report
Hopkins (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hopkins missed the first two practices of the week prior to suiting up for this past Sunday's win over the Bengals. He should be fine again this week. 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. If Hopkins disappoints in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Washington could look to make a change with 10 days until its next game.

Inconsistencies continue
Hopkins made two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Hopkins shook off a groin injury and was able to play in Week 11. 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. Perhaps this will be the last straw, but Washington escaping with a win may cover up Hopkins' blemishes.

Officially in for Week 11
Hopkins (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Washington withheld Hopkins from its first two Week 11 practices while he managed the groin injury, but he was able to take every rep during Friday's session. While Hopkins' full activity wasn't enough for him to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend, Washington never added another kicker to the 53-man roster, which suggests there was never any real concern about his availability. The 30-year-old has been one of the least-productive fantasy options at kicker this season,…read more

Hopkins (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, is expected to play, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington didn't add another kicker prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 11 roster moves, signaling that the club anticipated having Hopkins available. With 52 points through Washington's first nine games, Hopkins is a low-end fantasy option at kicker.

Listed as questionable
Hopkins (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Hopkins played through the same injury last week but missed a 43-yard field goal in a three-point loss to the Lions. It's been a rough year for him overall, with five missed field goals and one shanked extra point through nine games. Hopkins is a bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy option as far as kickers are concerned, but he at least seems to have a better than 50-50 chance to play Week 11. The team has Kaare Vedvik on the practice squad as a replacement option.

Misses practice with groin injury
Hopkins (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
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. The kicker had previously been limited throughout the week, so a downgrade to a missed practice is concerning, though Hopkins would likely put himself on track to suit up Sunday against the Bengals if he's able to return to practice over the next couple days.

Misfires again Sunday
Hopkins made two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra points in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Hopkins has missed five field goals this year, and his misfire was costly in Sunday's three-point loss. This was the second time in four games Hopkins missed a field goal in a matchup where Washington lost by three or fewer points. Coach Ron Rivera was predictably asked about Hopkins' job security, and he said it was "something we're discussing."

Analysis: While tending to the right groin injury, Hopkins followed a regimen of limited practices Wednesday through Friday before taking a questionable designation into the weekend. Considering Washington didn't elect to add another kicker to its roster before Saturday's deadline for Week 10 transactions, Hopkins never seemed at any real risk of sitting out Sunday.

Expected starter Sunday
Hopkins (groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Lions, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hopkins is officially still questionable, but Washington didn't elevate Kaare Vedvik from the practice squad, so Hopkins is the only kicker on the active roster. That essentially locks him in as the starting kicker against Detroit. It's been an up-and-down campaign for Hopkins, but he was perfect last week, connecting on two field goals and two extra points.

Hopkins was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Hopkins was perfect during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants, converting both field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt. However, he appears to have picked up a groin issue in the contest. If Washington determines Hopkins' status for a Week 10 matchup with Detroit to be in jeopardy, the team will likely promote Kaare Vedvik from the practice squad.

Accounts for eight points
Hopkins made two field-goal and extra-point attempts apiece in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: This was Hopkins' first perfect outing since Week 5 and a well-earned one at that, as he connected from 48 and 44 yards. Washington's offense continues to be inconsistent and will be starting Alex Smith under center for the time being, but it could have an intriguing matchup in Week 10 because the Lions have let up at least 22 points in seven of eight games this season.

Analysis: Hopkins has connected on just eight of 12 field goals and 11 of 12 extra points this season. His misfire during Sunday's win wasn't as damaging because Washington had a substantial lead at that point, but it's simply another knock on Hopkins, whose job security was up for debate already.

Analysis: Washington opened Sunday's game with a long 12-play drive, but it wasn't rewarded, as Hopkins pushed a 47-field goal wide right. He made up for it by being perfect for the rest of the afternoon, hitting kicks from 28 and 35 yards, but in a game that was decided by one point, there are questions about Hopkins' job security, especially since he's connected on just seven of 10 field goals this season.

Connects on 48-yarder
Hopkins made a 48-yard field goal and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Rams.
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.

Misses deep kick Sunday
Hopkins made one of two field goals and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Ravens.
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.

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.

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.

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.

He'll remain difficult to trust for fantasy production as long as the Redskins' inability to consistently move the offense lingers.
