This news is every fantasy manager’s worst nightmare. It seems there is a real possibility that the Cardinals just put Hopkins on ice for the remainder of the season to avoid risking further injury. Between the potential absence of Hopkins and David Blough being named the starter, there may not be a worse offensive situation heading into Week 17 than Arizona.
In 2022, Hopkins has 64 receptions on 96 targets for 717 yards and three touchdowns in nine starts. If he misses any action, Marquise Brown and Greg Dortch will be the main assets within the passing game on Sunday.
