News: 5 hours agoHopkins was held without a catch on one target Thursday against the Dolphins.

Spin: Though Lamar Jackson returned and the Ravens scored 28 points, Hopkins' impact was minimal. His snap count dipped back below 20 as the Ravens went with a heavy tight end rotation with Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar each playing over 25 snaps. Though Hopkins has been extremely efficient when targeted, he's not seeing steady enough opportunities to be a viable fantasy asset.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hopkins signed with the Ravens, which will be his fifth NFL team in 13 seasons. The future Hall of Famer was a featured target as recently as 2023 in Tennessee, but his usage dropped off drastically early last season (3.5 targets per game in six games with the Titans) and wasn't much better following a trade to Kansas City. He had one huge game (28.6 points in Week 9), but otherwise was a situational player, averaging 5.1 targets and 9.4 fantasy points per game in 13 outings with the team, including a very limited playoff role. Hopkins' days as a lineup lock are over and that's especially the case at 33-years-old in a run-friendly Baltimore offense that spreads the ball around quite a bit. Expect Hopkins to battle for No. 3 WR duties behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. He's no more than a bench option.
