Makes three kicks Sunday Hopkins made two of his three field-goal attempts while converting his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Hopkins was perfect on seven field-goal attempts across the last four weeks and made a pair of field goals in the first half of Sunday's Week 6 matchup. However, he missed a 42-yard try wide left early in the third quarter. The 31-year-old has made 12 of 14 field-goal attempts while converting 10 of 12 extra-point tries in 2021.

Doesn't miss in Week 5 Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra points during Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints.

Impact Hopkins opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter that was setup by a Jameis Winston interception. The 31-year-old was then called upon twice for chip shots under 25 yards and connected on both of them easily. The perfect day for Hopkins was much needed after the seven-year veteran missed two extra points during Week 4. He remains a reliable fantasy option as long as Washington's offense continues to move the ball well.

Misses two extra points Hopkins made one field goal and went 1-for-3 on extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.

Impact Hopkins' only miss of the season before Sunday was a 50-plus yard attempt in Week 1. His extra-point struggles are concerning, but Washington will likely let the seven-year veteran work through his woes. The 31-year-old kicker has never made less than 92 percent of his extra-point attempts, so expect him to bounce back in Week 5.

Impact Washington turned the ball over twice on its first three possessions and fell behind 21-0 early in the second quarter. Hopkins' production was limited due to the large deficit, but he was able to salvage his fantasy output by connecting on his extra-point attempts. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back against the Falcons in Week 4.

Connects on game-winning kick Hopkins made all three of his extra points and all three of his field goals -- including a 43-yard, game-winner as time expired -- during Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.

Impact All three of Hopkins' field goals came in the second half after the Giants took a 20-14 lead. The teams exchanged field goals on four consecutive possessions before Washington claimed the lead with a two-play, 75-yard drive to take a 27-26 lead. After allowing the Giants responded with a field goal, Taylor Heinicke led an 11-play drive that set Hopkins up for 49-yard, game-winning kick as time expired. The 30-year-old is a perfect 6-for-6 from inside 50 yards this season.
