Brycen Hopkins News
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Thursday that tight end Brycen Hopkins has been a bright spot at training camp so far. Hopkins, the Rams' fourth-round pick in 2020 out of Purdue, caught just seven of 11 targets for 109 yards and no touchdowns in 14 games (one start) behind Tyler Higbee in his third NFL season in 2022. The 26-year-old is still behind Higbee on the tight end depth chart in Los Angeles, but he's making strides heading into his fourth season and could take on a bigger role in a Rams offense that could use some pass-catchers to step up behind All-Pro wideout Cooper Kupp. However, Hopkins won't be on the fantasy radar unless Higbee misses time with an injury in 2023.
It was Los Angeles Rams tight end Brycen Hopkins, not Kendall Blanton, who stepped up in Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday with Tyler Higbee (knee) inactive. Hopkins secured all four of his targets for 47 yards in the 23-20 win. Blanton appeared to be dealing with an injury shoulder and was wearing a harness on the sidelines. The 24-year-old Hopkins came out of nowhere, as he had just one catch for nine yards in the last two seasons combined for the Rams. After Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) was injured in the first half, LA was desperate for pass-catchers outside of Cooper Kupp, and Hopkins was able to step up. Despite the nice performance on the biggest stage, Hopkins is unlikely to suddenly become fantasy relevant next season.
The Los Angeles Rams have selected Purdue tight end Brycen Hopkins with the No. 136 pick during the fourth round. It's a bit of a questionable decision for the Rams to add another young tight end with Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett on the roster. Nonetheless, Hopkins has quickness with great separation and isn't too bad when it comes to blocking. He hauled in 61 receptions for 830 yards and seven touchdowns during 11 games in 2019. It'll be interesting to see how the Rams split up their playing time between the three tight ends, but it's safe to say that Hopkins won't be fantasy relevant in 2020.
