OCTOBER 18, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Finds end zone twice against Browns Hopkins caught three of four targets for 55 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Browns.

Impact The veteran receiver still has yet to see double-digit targets in a game this year, with Sunday's paltry four tying his season low, but Hopkins still had little trouble putting together a huge fantasy performance. He has six TDs through six games, already matching his total from 2020, but the Cardinals' passing game might not need to do much in Week 7 at home against the struggling Texans, which would limit Hopkins' volume again.

Past illness, good for Sunday Hopkins (illness) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Hopkins didn't get on the practice field prior to Friday as he dealt with an illness, which almost certainly was unrelated to COVID-19 considering his standing heading into the weekend. He'll face off Week 6 against a Browns defense that has conceded 181.6 total yards per game (15th most in the NFL) and five touchdowns to wide receivers in five contests this season.

Absent for another practice Hopkins (illness) wasn't in attendance for Thursday's practice and is expected to go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' report, Darren Urban of the team's official site re...

Impact Hopkins has previously received maintenance days in practice earlier this season while tending to a rib injury, but it's an ailment that will keep him off the field for the second day in a row to begin Week 6. The Cardinals haven't suggested that Hopkins' illness is related to COVID-19, so at this stage, there's still reason for fantasy managers to expect the standout wideout to be ready to suit up Sunday in Cleveland. Ideally though, Hopkins would return to practice in some fashion Friday to clear up any concern about his status.

Misses practice with illness Hopkins (illness) missed practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The Cardinals haven't indicated that Hopkins' illness is related to COVID-19, but if not, he shouldn't be at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Browns. Through five weeks, Hopkins has produced a 23-312-4 receiving line on 34 targets.

NFL Today, Week 5

Strong Week 5 effort Hopkins caught six of nine targets for 87 yards and one touchdown against San Francisco on Sunday.

Impact The nine targets occurred on just 28 targeted pass attempts by Kyler Murray, meaning Hopkins drew more than 32 percent of Arizona's targets in the game. Murray threw for a modest 239 yards, and as a result Hopkins' box score was contained somewhat despite him playing at a dominant level. Hopkins will look to keep producing in a high-stakes Week 6 road game against the Browns.

Gets seven targets Week 4 Hopkins hauled in four of seven targets for 67 yards during Sunday's 37-20 road win against the Rams.

Impact The Cardinals are closing in on the quarter mark of the season, and Hopkins has yet to reach 100 receiving yards in any of the team's four games. And after salvaging Weeks 1 and 2 with three touchdowns combined in those contests, he hasn't visited the end zone since then. While Hopkins leads Arizona in targets with 25, quarterback Kyle Murray is keeping the key members of the skill positions regularly involved, with A.J. Green, Chase Edmonds, Rondale Moore, Christian Kirk and Maxx Williams also seeing at least 16 looks to date. The result has been four different players with at least 200 yards and one TD (Hopkins, Green, Kirk and Moore). Hopkins will look to tally another score when the Cardinals host the 49ers on Sunday.
