Makes three field goals

Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and an extra point in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

Analysis: Hopkins scored 10 points for the second week in a row, hitting on three field goals in a game for the fifth time this season. He's drilling an impressive 90 percent of his field goals this season (26-for-29). He'll look to maintain the quality play in Washington's season finale against the Eagles in Week 17.

Tallies 10 points

Hopkins made three field goals and an extra point during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: After putting up a goose egg in Week 14, Hopkins nailed three field goals for the fourth time this season. It still remains hard to rely on Hopkins for the rest of year, however, as the absence of Alex Smith under center has stalled Washington's offense.

Ghost-like outing in blowout

Hopkins finished Sunday's game against the Giants without any kicking attempts.

Analysis: It was a rough day for Hopkins' owners, as he went without a stat line for the first time all season. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a career season highlighted by a career-best field-goal conversion rate (87 percent). Without Alex Smith, Washington's offense has endured a noticeable drop-off, which apparently has trickled down to Hopkins.

Perfect Monday

Hopkins made both of his field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Monday's loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: Hopkins performed better than expected in a game that saw backup quarterback Colt McCoy leave with a lower leg injury. McCoy was replaced by third-string QB Mark Sanchez, and the offense seemed to stall. Washington is already without quarterback Alex Smith (lower leg) for the season, so Hopkins will be difficult to trust for the remainder of the season.

Misses one extra point

Hopkins made his only field-goal attempt and converted two of three extra-point tries during Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Analysis: Hopkins missed his first extra point of the season Thanksgiving Day. The 28-year-old's fantasy stock took a significant hit after quarterback Alex Smith (lower leg) was lost for the season Week 11, and he'll be difficult to trust down the stretch. Hopkins has made only one field-goal attempt in each of his last two games.

Misses 63-yarder in waning seconds

Hopkins made each of his three PATs and missed a 63-yard field-goal attempt in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

Analysis: Bothered by a groin injury during the week, Hopkins was cleared to play but didn't get any realistic chances besides the trio of extra points. His lone field-goal attempt fell short in the closing seconds of the game, with the Redskins dropping to 6-4 after losing their starting quarterback to a severe leg injury. Hopkins is attached to the most injury-riddled offense in the league, with Smith now the fourth starter to be lost for the season. A Week 12 matchup with the slow-paced Cowboys on…read more

Playing Sunday

Hopkins (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Analysis: Hopkins managed one limited practice this week -- Friday -- after which he told John Keim of ESPN.com that he planned to "give it a go. ... It [the groin] was pain-free." The Redskins clearly agreed, signing no replacement kicker in the meantime. Hopkins thus will face a Houston team that has allowed 7.0 real-life points per contest to kickers during its current six-game winning streak.

Expects to play

Hopkins (groin) said he's pain-free and expects to play in Sunday's game against the Texans, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Despite his stated confidence, Hopkins is listed as questionable on the Redskins' final injury report for Week 11. The possibility of an absence will need to be seriously considered if the Redskins sign another kicker Friday or Saturday. With the banged-up Washington offense facing a tough Houston defense, Hopkins doesn't profile as a top-12 fantasy option at his position this week.

Withheld from practice again

Hopkins (groin) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis: Hopkins' absence was expected after coach Jay Gruden said the kicker would be held out until Friday before testing out the health of his groin. If the injury is still affecting Hopkins at that point, the team could sign another kicker to the roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Given his shaky health and the fact that he's supported by a rather low-powered Washington offense, Hopkins doesn't profile as a strong fantasy option in Week 11.

Misses practice with groin injury

Hopkins was held out of Wednesday's practice with a groin injury, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis: Coach Jay Gruden said Hopkins will return to practice Friday to test out his groin. The team hasn't yet signed another kicker, but it may need to do so before Sunday's game against the Texans if Hopkins fails to progress as anticipated. Hopkins has been solid yet unspectacular this season, scoring at least six points in eight of nine games.

Perfect in Week 10

Hopkins converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 16-3 win over the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Hopkins accounted for 10 of Washington's 16 total points, including two field goals of over 40 yards. The six-year pro has missed only two field goals this season and remains perfect on extra-point attempts. Hopkins will see a favorable matchup against the Texans in Week 11.

Notches two extra points Week 9

Hopkins did not attempt a field-goal and converted both extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Falcons.

Analysis: Hopkins did not see much use in Week 9, mostly due to the fact that Washington fell behind early against the Falcons and spent the entire contest reaching for touchdowns. Following a down week, Hopkins will look to bounce back against a league-worst Buccaneers' defense Sunday.

Scores eight points in win

Hopkins converted two of his three field goal attempts and made both extra point tries during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Hopkins' lone missed field goal came on a 41-yard attempt. The sixth-year pro has converted 14 of 16 field goals on the year, including three attempts of over 50 yards. Hopkins' accuracy makes him a solid weekly fantasy option.

Perfect in Week 7

Hopkins converted both field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Hopkins has now been perfect in four consecutive games. The 28-year-old will attempt to continue his streak against the Giants in a Week 8 matchup.

Notches 11 points

Hopkins made all three of his field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Panthers.

Analysis: Hopkins drilled kicks from 49, 56 and 29 yards in Sunday's perfect effort. His 11 points inflated his season tally to 40 through five games.

Scores seven points

Hopkins made both his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Monday night's 43-19 loss to the Saints.

Analysis: Hopkins was one of few Redskins players who can't be blamed for Monday's blowout defeat. He converted from 37 and 53 yards on his two field goals, helping bring his tally to 29 points through four appearances.

Hits 35-yarder Sunday

Hopkins converted his only field-goal attempt during Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers. He also made all four of his extra points.

Analysis: Sunday marked the second time in just three games that Hopkins has been held to just one field-goal attempt, as opportunities have thus far evaded him in 2018. The Redskins are on a bye in Week 4, and though he's a reliable kicker, he's not worth holding on to while he's idle.

Misses one field goal Sunday

Hopkins went 3-for-4 on field goals in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Analysis: It was a busy day for Hopkins, whose only miss came when he was wide left on a 49-yard attempt. Still, he connected on two other tries from 49 yards out, as well as one from 27 yards away.

Perfect in Week 1

Hopkins converted his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals.

Analysis: Hopkins made a 31-yard field goal, accounting for six total points in the season opener. The veteran should serve as a reliable fantasy option attached to a solid Washington offense.

Hopkins re-signed with the Redskins on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: A hip injury limited Hopkins to eight games in 2017, but he remained effective when healthy for a third straight year, connecting on 14 of 17 field-goal attempts (82.4 percent) and 18 of 19 extra-point tries (94.7 percent). Boasting a career 91.9-percent conversion rate from inside of 50 yards, the 27-year-old Hopkins is one of the more reliable kickers in the league. It's fair to wonder if he'll lose out on some opportunities as the Redskins transition from Kirk Cousins to Alex Smith at…read more

Hopkins was 1-for-2 on field goal-attempts Sunday against the Giants and ended the season going 14-for-17 on field-goal attempts and 18-for-19 extra-point tries.

Analysis: Hopkins season was headlined by the fact that he missed nine games due to a strained rotator muscle in his right hip. It was about par for the course for the third-year pro, as his 82.4 field goal percentage was a slight tick up from his 2016 campaign (81.0%). It's worth mentioning his replacement, now-Charger Nick Rose, went 10-for-11 on field-goal attempts, which, were he to have qualified, would have placed him at fifth-best percentage in the league (the league minimum to qualify is 16…read more

Hopkins made both his field-goal attempts (26 and 29 yards) as well as all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-11 win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Hopkins has scored at least eight points in every game besides Week 1 this season. That makes him a reliable fantasy commodity heading into Sunday's season finale at the Giants.

Hopkins was 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Analysis: Hopkins returned to the field Sunday after spending the previous eight weeks on injured reserve due to a strained rotator muscle in his right hip. The third-year pro didn't skip a beat in his return, knocking down a pair of field goals from 24 yards and 32 yards away.

The Redskins activated Hopkins (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, Stephen Czarda of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Hopkins landed on IR on Oct. 18 due to a strained rotator muscle in his right hip, which he sustained Week 4. After returning to practice Wednesday, he stated his hope that he'd play at some point before the end of the season. Clearly, he did enough in practice this week to do so right away, so he should be ready to maintain career marks of 84 percent on field goals and 94.6 percent on extra points.
