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

Trending toward playing Monday Hopkins (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers in Mexico City, appears likely to be available for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network r...
Impact Hopkins had a hamstring injury pop up during Week 11 prep, rendering him a limited participant in practice sessions Friday and Saturday. While Rapoport notes that the Cardinals initially feared Hopkins would have to miss the Mexico City game, the team came away with "much more optimism" about the wideout's health after getting the chance to evaluate him later in the week. He still may have to check out OK during a pregame workout to get the green light to play, but so long as he avoids the inactive list ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, he shouldn't face any major restrictions on his snap count. He likely will be working with Colt McCoy at quarterback for the second week in a row, as Kyler Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable and appears to be trending toward another absence, but Hopkins caught 10 of 14 targets for 98 yards from McCoy last week, so the QB switch shouldn't impact his fantasy value.

Questionable for primetime Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Hopkins was a limited participant in practice both Friday and Saturday, which would seem to indicate the veteran will be available in the important divisional contest. Far more concerning for the Cardinals is the possible absence of quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring), who is also listed as questionable having registered three days of limited participation in practice. Murray's status, along with the possible return of Marquise Brown (foot) off injured reserve, appear to be the far more complicating factors toward Hopkins' fantasy value than his availability Monday, though Hopkins did put up a 10-98-0 line with Colt McCoy under center last week.

Logs limited practice Friday Hopkins (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Hopkins made a sudden appearance on Thursday's injury report as a non-participant due to a hamstring issue, explaining his absence from the media-access portion of that session. On Friday, coach Kliff Kingsbury clarified the situation, telling Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that Hopkins' DNP was maintenance-related. With a capped practice under his belt, Hopkins has one more chance to get back to all activity Saturday before Arizona potentially gives him a designation for Monday's game against the 49ers in Mexico City.

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

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

Cardinals get much-needed "Vitamin W" after beating Rams
Backup quarterback Colt McCoy’s steady influence helped the Arizona Cardinals to a badly needed winNOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ten catches from backup QB Hopkins caught 10 of 14 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams.
Impact Kyler Murray (hamstring) was inactive, but Hopkins didn't miss a beat with Colt McCoy under center for the Cardinals instead. The 30-year-old wideout has seen at least 13 targets in three of four games since making his belated season debut, turning that outstanding volume into 36 catches for 396 yards and two TDs, and Hopkins figures to be productive again in Week 11 against the 49ers regardless of whether McCoy or Murray is holding the reins on the offense.
