2022 Fantasy Outlook
Hopkins spent the majority of his sophomore campaign on the bench, playing just 56 regular season snaps. A breakout performance in Super Bowl LVI (four receptions for 47 yards) gave fantasy managers a taste of the raw talent that led the Rams to take Hopkins as a fourth-round pick, and his proven route running ability at Purdue could lead to more opportunities for production in his third season in the league, especially if Tyler Higbee goes down with injury again.

January 12, 2023
Hopkins recorded seven catches for 109 yards during the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Viewed as a project after improving each year of his collegiate career at Purdue, Hopkins played just five games and only two offensive snaps last year as a rookie. However, there could be more opportunities in 2021. He's a solid route runner, and there are passing-catching snaps available after Gerald Everett signed with the Seahawks during free agency. It's still probably unlikely Hopkins makes much of a fantasy splash this season, but if fellow tight end Tyler Higbee were to miss time, Hopkins could see an increased role in the passing attack.
An excellent route runner who improved each year during his collegiate career at Purdue, Hopkins bolsters an already impressive Los Angeles tight end corps. Selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the pick suggests head coach Sean McVay's increased use of 12 personnel late last season could continue this year. Additionally, with tight end Gerald Everett in the final campaign of his rookie deal, the Rams could move on from their 2017, second-round selection -- especially if Hopkins impresses as a rookie. It's still important to note that Hopkins doesn't project as a reliable blocker at this stage of the game, so playing time could be scarce this year with Tyler Higbee established, Johnny Mundt a sound blocker and Everett in a make-or-break season.
