Reaches end zone again Week 2 Hopkins hauled in all four targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-33 win versus the Vikings.
Impact It was a reasonable enough follow-up to Hopkins' Week 1 receiving line of 6-83-2 on eight targets. However, in a game in which quarterback Kyler Murray piled up 400 yards and three TDs through the air, one would have hoped for more when looking at the box score. That's until the Vikings' defensive game plan is taken into account: Hopkins was on the receiving end of double coverage after recording four catches through the Cardinals' first two possessions of the game, and he didn't see a target after the 5:49 mark of the first quarter. He'll look for his first 100-yard performance of the campaign next Sunday in a road outing against the Jaguars.

Dominant Week 1 effort Hopkins caught six receptions for 83 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets at Tennessee on Sunday.
Impact The Titans posed no resistance against Hopkins, who might have done more damage yet if not for the strong play of fellow wideouts Christian Kirk and Rondale Moore. Hopkins looks as locked in as ever, and given his high-volume role, he's a top option each week. That will remain the case in Week 2 as Hopkins takes on the Vikings.
