Impact Hopkins' field goals both came from 42 yards, helping him notch eight points to end the regular season. In 16 games, the veteran accumulated 111 points, finishing 16th in the category among kickers league-wide.

Rings up seven points Hopkins made both field-goal attempts and a lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Washington's offense struggled mightily with Dwayne Haskins under center, but Hopkins still managed to hit field goals from 48 and 26 yards before Haskins was benched. Hopkins underwent a touch spell through the middle part of the season, but he's now hit 11 of 12 field-goal tries over the last five games, including six kicks from beyond 40 yards.

Misses extra point Hopkins made a 48-yard field goal but missed his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Hopkins made his 12th field goal from beyond 40 yards this season, and he's now 12 for 18 from that range. The veteran kicker has now made 23 of 30 field-goal tries and 27 of 29 extra-point attempts this season. While Hopkins has been a bit inconsistent this season, this was the first time since Week 7 that he failed to connect on two or more field-goal tries. He'll look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Panthers.

Nails seven kicks Hopkins connected on both field-goals attempts and all five extra-point tries in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.
Impact This was arguably Hopkins' best performance of 2020, as he avoided missing a kick for just the fourth time this season. Washington's offense rolled the Cowboys, too, providing him ample opportunities to come through for fantasy managers. However, a Week 13 matchup against the Steelers could prove tough for the Football Team to get rolling against.

Available Thursday Hopkins (groin) is listed as active Thursday at Dallas.
Impact Hopkins didn't practice at all this week, but Washington opted not to add a kicker to the active roster in advance of this game, signaling he was slated to play Week 12. Indeed, he'll be available against the Cowboys' bottom-ranked scoring defense (31.8 points per game).

Impact Hopkins' Week 12 status will be confirmed when Washington's inactives are posted prior to Thursday's 4:30 ET kickoff. Through 10 games this season, Hopkins has averaged six points, a tally that limits the kicker's fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Draws questionable tag Hopkins (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Hopkins wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week due to a lingering groin injury, but the issue hasn't stopped him from suiting up for Washington's last two games. The veteran kicker thus appears on track to suit up Thursday, but Kaare Vedvik lies in wait on the practice squad in case of emergency.

No work in practice Hopkins (groin) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Impact Hopkins' practice reps have been managed carefully since Week 10 while he's managed a right groin injury, but the kicker has proceeded to play in both of Washington's past two games, converting four of six field-goal attempts and nailing all five extra-point tries between those contests. He may end up being listed as questionable for this week's Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Cowboys, but unless Washington adds another kicker to the roster, Hopkins shouldn't be in any real danger of missing the contest.

Back on injury report Hopkins (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Impact Hopkins missed the first two practices of the week prior to suiting up for this past Sunday's win over the Bengals. He should be fine again this week. His performance is a larger concern than his health, as he's connected on just 14 of 20 field-goal attempts (70 percent) this season. If Hopkins disappoints in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Washington could look to make a change with 10 days until its next game.
NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Inconsistencies continue Hopkins made two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Bengals.
Impact Hopkins shook off a groin injury and was able to play in Week 11. It was another uninspiring effort by the 30-year-old kicker, however, as he's now made just 14 of 20 field-goal tries this year, so questions about his job security continue to loom large. Perhaps this will be the last straw, but Washington escaping with a win may cover up Hopkins' blemishes.

Officially in for Week 11 Hopkins (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Washington withheld Hopkins from its first two Week 11 practices while he managed the groin injury, but he was able to take every rep during Friday's session. While Hopkins' full activity wasn't enough for him to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend, Washington never added another kicker to the 53-man roster, which suggests there was never any real concern about his availability. The 30-year-old has been one of the least-productive fantasy options at kicker this season, converting 12 of 17 field-goal attempts and 16 of 17 extra-point tries through nine games.

Set to kick Week 11 Hopkins (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, is expected to play, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Washington didn't add another kicker prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 11 roster moves, signaling that the club anticipated having Hopkins available. With 52 points through Washington's first nine games, Hopkins is a low-end fantasy option at kicker.

Listed as questionable Hopkins (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Hopkins played through the same injury last week but missed a 43-yard field goal in a three-point loss to the Lions. It's been a rough year for him overall, with five missed field goals and one shanked extra point through nine games. Hopkins is a bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy option as far as kickers are concerned, but he at least seems to have a better than 50-50 chance to play Week 11. The team has Kaare Vedvik on the practice squad as a replacement option.

Misses practice with groin injury Hopkins (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Impact Hopkins has been playing through the groin injury in recent weeks, though it may be affecting his accuracy, as he had a costly miss in last week's three-point loss to Detroit. The kicker had previously been limited throughout the week, so a downgrade to a missed practice is concerning, though Hopkins would likely put himself on track to suit up Sunday against the Bengals if he's able to return to practice over the next couple days.
