2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hopkins was outperformed by his injury replacement, Cameron Dicker, last year with the Chargers, and then found himself unable to unseat the newcomer this summer. The Chargers eventually traded Hopkins to Cleveland, where he'll replace disappointing 2022 fourth-round pick Cade York. While he doesn't offer the range of many other modern kickers, Hopkins has always been at least average converting shorter kicks and PATs. Read Past Outlooks
Injury lingers over offseason
Hopkins (hamstring) finished the season with 123 points over 15 games. He was successful on 33 of 36 field-goal attempts and 24 of 26 extra-point kicks.
ANALYSIS
Hopkins was a savior to Cleveland's kicking troubles over the previous two seasons and led the NFL in field-goals made at the time of his injury. The hamstring remains a concern entering the offseason. He has one year left on his contract and should return to the Browns if he's ready to compete by training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Underdog in kicking battle
Daniel Popper of The Athletic expects Hopkins to be cut when the Chargers trim their roster to 53 players for the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Hopkins has been battling Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' kicking job in camp. Popper believes Hopkins' recent injury history will ultimately lead Los Angeles to retain Dicker. Hopkins missed most of last season due to a hamstring injury and has also missed a chunk of training camp due to an injury. Dicker made 21 of 22 field-goal attempts as a rookie last season, though his longest make came from only 48 yards out, so Hopkins has the stronger leg.

Hopkins was released by Washington midseason last year, but he landed in Los Angeles and
brought a temporary end to the Chargers' kicking woes. While he made just one of three
attempts from 50-plus yards with LAC, Hopkins was otherwise automatic and generally has
been consistent from 30-49 yards in his career, which should be good enough for fantasy
relevance given the talent his new team has on offense.
