Makes lone catch count
Published: 2023-09-11
Hopkins secured one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks.
Hopkins started his fourth year with the Rams very similarly to how his third year went, playing in just over a quarter of the snaps on offense and seeing a scant few targets head his way. His lone catch saw him showcase his elusiveness as he shook off one defender in route to a big gain, but unless starter Tyler Higbee misses any time, Hopkins is unlikely to break through on the stat sheet in a meaningful way.

Bright spot at camp
Published: 2023-08-17
Hopkins has been a bright spot at training camp according to head coach Sean Payton.
After missing three games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy to start the 2022 season, Hopkins played in the remaining 14 games as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Higbee, but only saw meager results. He is projected to be in the same position goinig into 2023, sans the suspension, but it looks like things may be starting to click for the fourth-year tight end. He did notch a career-high 57 receiving yards in Week 16, which indicates he was trending in a positive direction. Still, as long as he is behind Higbee in the pecking order his ceiling remains limited.
Meager production in Year 3
Published: 2023-01-12
Hopkins recorded seven catches for 109 yards during the 2022 season.
Hopkins missed three games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, but he was on the field for all 14 of the Rams' remaining games, operating as the No. 2 tight end behind Tyler Higbee after Kendall Blanton was cut. As injuries piled up for the Rams, Hopkins saw his role increase as the season progressed, and he notched a career-high 57 receiving yards in the Week 16 contest against the Broncos. The 2020 fourth-round pick will enter the final season of his rookie deal looking to continue carving out a role similar to what he saw in the latter half of the 2022 season while firmly entrenched behind the veteran Higbee.
Makes great play on lone catch
Published: 2023-01-02
Hopkins caught his only target for 21 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.
Hopkins did the most with his only opportunity of the game, laying out for a Baker Mayfield pass off play-action and turning it into a big gain. Hopkins was on the field for 19 snaps on offense, and while the stat line may look innocuous, Mayfield only completed 11 passes on the day, and five of those were to his tight ends. The Rams close their season with an away game against the Seahawks in Week 18, and Hopkins should continue to get an extended look in the offense.
