Scouting report

LAC K Dustin Hopkins - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Dustin Hopkins finished the 2021 season tied with Evan McPherson as the K12 in fantasy points scored with 130. He averaged 7.6 fantasy points per game, the same as Harrison Butker of the Chiefs and more than Mason Crosby of the Packers. Hopkins attempted two or more field goals in eight of his 11 games as a member of the Chargers, converting 30 of his 34 attempts while going 40/44 on extra points.

Hopkins should be viewed as an elite option in Week 1 against the Raiders, who were 20th in aFPA to kickers last season. Opposing kickers converted 27/33 field goals against the Raiders in 2021 while also making 44 of their 46 extra-point attempts.

LAC K Dustin Hopkins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Broncos

Dustin Hopkins nailed all three of his field-goal attempts against the Texans last week, marking his third straight game with 100% accuracy on field goals. Hopkins has converted 23 of his 25 attempts since signing with the Chargers and is the K10 overall this season.

As with the rest of the offensive players on the Chargers, Hopkins faces a tough matchup on paper against the Broncos. They rank 5th in aFPA to kickers this season, with teams converting just 20 of 27 attempts against them in 2021 (74.1%). Still, given his current proficiency, Hopkins is a top 10 option at the kicker spot in Fantasy Championship week.

WAS K Dustin Hopkins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Here are the point totals for the Washington offense over the past four games: 13, 16, 16 and 16. With a home match-up, Vegas is being "generous" this week with an implied team total of 17.75 points. With a fourth-string quarterback at the helm, this is not an offense to rely on for fantasy production in Week 17. This is a team that's just trying to stay competitive via its defense and special teams.

WAS K Dustin Hopkins - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Tennessee Titans (Saturday)

Washington has scored less than 17 points in three consecutive games. This week, the implied team total of this team is absurdly low yet again - 13.5 points. It is the lowest implied total on the slate by a point and a half. With this currently being the worst offense in the NFL on its fourth quarterback of the season, we simply have no confidence in starting any piece of this offense for fantasy in Week 16.

WAS K Dustin Hopkins - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Jacksonville Jaguars

We're going to make this really simple for you. Washington has the lowest implied total in Week 15 at 14.5 points, a full 2.5 points lower than the next worst team. They are on their fourth quarterback. The running game has been extremely inefficient, and the starting tight end is injured now on top of previous injuries to wide receivers. There isn't a single Redskins player we feel comfortable starting in fantasy football for Week 15.

WAS K Dustin Hopkins - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New York Giants

My, how the Redskins have fallen in 2018, potentially going from first to the worst team in the division by the end of the season, due in large part to so many notable injuries. Washington is now on its third quarterback in Mark Sanchez, and have an implied team total of fewer than 20 points this week, bottom five in the league. You just can't start a fantasy kicker under these conditions.

WAS K Dustin Hopkins - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Philadelphia Eagles

Washington has a bottom five implied team total this week of less than 20 points. Dustin Hopkins is a name to stay away from among fantasy kickers in Week 13.
