Misses extra point Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts but missed one of his four extra-point tries in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

Impact Hopkins converted from 43 yards on both his field goals, but his failed PAT gives him a missed kick in back-to-back weeks. On the bright side, Hopkins still notched nine points, bringing his season total up to 88 through 12 appearances.

Misses lone field goal Hopkins missed his lone field-goal attempt but did make his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Hopkins isn't known to have a big leg so it wasn't exactly surprising to see the veteran miss a 52-yard field goal Sunday, his first miss since joining the Chargers. In fact, the 30-year-old is just 5-of-10 from 50-plus yards since 2019. The Chargers struggled mightily to move the ball against the Broncos, but with a number of high-octane matchups to come, it's possible Hopkins could have some fantasy value in the weeks to come.

Perfect in loss Hopkins converted on both his field-goal attempts along with both extra points in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Hopkins was able to drill a 46-yard field goal early in the second quarter while also making a chip-shot 24-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Unlike last week in which the veteran kicker missed an extra point, Hopkins made both of his extra-point attempts this go around, moving him to 16-of-19 on the year for extra points. The 31-year-old continues to benefit from his change of scenery to a more high-powered offense where he's had many more kicking opportunities.

Kicks game-winning field goal Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts while converting only one of his two extra points in Sunday's 27-24 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Along with Hopkins' clutch game-winning field goal with only two seconds left on the clock, he executed a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter after the Chargers stalled in the red zone. The former Washington kicker has been perfect on field goals since joining Los Angeles, going 3-for-3 in just two games. However, the veteran kicker's inconsistencies on extra points continued as his Week 9 miss dropped him to 14 of 17 on the season. With five teams on bye in Week 10, Hopkins could be a solid fantasy option in an explosive Chargers offense.
