DeAndre Hopkins Injury Update Threatens Week 15 Fantasy Outlook DeAndre Hopkins injury update threatens his Week 15 fantasy outlook.
DeAndre Hopkins to Get Second Opinion After Initial MRI His status for this Sunday is unknown.

Getting second opinion Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Hopkins is slated to get a second opinion on his leg injury Wednesday after previously getting an MRI, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' offici...
Impact With that in mind, Hopkins' status for Sunday's game against the Lions has yet to determined. If Hopkins is out or limited this weekend or beyond, added looks would be available for fellow wideouts A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Hopkins, who is thought to be dealing with a knee issue, won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

After MNF loss, Cardinals disappointed but not discouraged
The Arizona Cardinals had their chances to beat the Los Angeles Rams on Monday nightDECEMBER 14, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Undergoing MRI on Tuesday Coach Kliff Kingbury disclosed Tuesday that Hopkins is undergoing an MRI for a leg injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Hopkins missed time earlier in the season for a hamstring injury, but Kingsbury was unwilling to disclose any more information about why this latest scan was done. Hopkins missing additional time would be a huge hit to the Cardinals receiving corps as they continue their pursuit of the top seed in the NFC. A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and rookie Rondale Moore would all figure to see added looks should Hopkins wind up missing any more time.

Frustrating performance Monday Hopkins caught 5 of 12 targets for 54 yards in Monday night's 30-23 loss to the Rams.
Impact Hopkins got going with a pair of first-down gains early, but he narrowly missed out on a couple consecutive end-zone targets from close range in the second quarter. The wideout then dropped a critical fourth-and-two pass during the third, adding to his frustrations. With some failed contested targets to end the game -- which were followed by Hopkins seen limping on the sideline, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports -- it overall was a performance to forget from Hopkins, who will hope to rebound in what could be a great fantasy matchup versus the Lions in Week 15.

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins return to strengthen the Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins returned Sunday to lift the Cardinals to a win and perhaps give a glimpse into the future.DECEMBER 6, 2021
Pair of grabs in return Hopkins (hamstring) brought in both targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 33-22 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Impact The veteran wideout wasted no time proving his return to health when he found the end zone in the first quarter on a 20-yard connection with Kyler Murray (ankle), who was also making his return from a three-game absence. Coach Kliff Kingsbury deployed the passing game sparingly most of the afternoon, however, and Hopkins was handled with care with an eye on the stretch run and subsequent postseason. However, the air attack, and by extension, Hopkins, figures to play a much more prominent role during a key Week 14 Monday night home battle against the Rams.

Returning to action Sunday Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday in Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact Coming off Arizona's Week 12 bye, Hopkins logged a pair of limited practices while sitting out Thursday's session as he attempted to put a hamstring issue in the rearview mirror. While the activity was enough to put an end to a three-game absence -- which surpassed the total absences (two) in the first eight campaigns of his career -- he may operate under a snap count to avoid a setback and also due to the rainy conditions in Chicago, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Still, the Cardinals offense will welcome back the Hopkins-Kyler Murray combination, which has amounted to 78.9 yards per game and 13 touchdowns in 24 contests together.

Coach confirms Week 13 return Head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Stacey Dales of NFL Network that Hopkins (hamstring) will play Sunday against the Bears, despite being listed as questionable for the contest after...
Impact Kingsbury confirmed that both of Arizona's top two skill-position players will put an end to their three-game, four-week absences Week 13, as starting quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) also received the green light to return to the lineup. Hopkins' injury designation won't officially be lifted until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wideout should step back in as Murray's top target in the passing game. However, with Adam Schefter of ESPN relaying earlier Sunday that Hopkins could be used "more sparingly than usual" in his return to the lineup because of poor weather conditions in Chicago in addition to the long layoff due to injury, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations to some degree.

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