How are we feeling about this kicker without Deshaun Watson running the offense?
He did very well in the last absence, here are some numbers to consider:
In 5 games with Deshaun Watson: (Weeks 1-3, 9-10) excluding the Colts game where he barely played, Hopkins averaged 3 field goal attempts a game, 1.8 XP attempts a game, and 10.2 fantasy points per game.
In 3 games with PJ Walker: (Weeks 6-8) Hopkins averaged 3.7 field goal attempts a game, 2 XP attempts a game, and 14.7 fantasy points per game.
In 1 game with Dorian Thompson-Robertson (Week 4) Hopkins attempted 1 field goal and no extra points, for 5 fantasy points.
Dorian Thompson-Robertson is expected to start Sunday and I’m very worried about Hopkins. From the eye test alone, this offense was effective at moving the ball with Watson on the field and I’m worried the QB change will lead to a lot more drives ending on their own side of the field. How are fellow Hopkins owners feeling?
What happened to PJ Walker?
