Dustin Hopkins Fantasy

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made all three of his field goals Thursday night against the New York Giants, one of which was the game-winner. Hopkins made them from 49 yards, 37 yards, and 43 yards while converting all three extra-point attempts. The 30-year-old proved that he can be a viable streaming option for fantasy managers, as the Washington offense will have to settle for some field goals with Taylor Heinicke under center.

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins could be a strong streaming option in Week 2 against the New York Giants. Hopkins made three out of four field goals in Week 1, one of which was a 48-yarder. With Taylor Heinicke at quarterback, the Washington offense should be held to more field goal attempts than they would with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. The 30-year-old should be started in deeper leagues as he figures to get a few field opportunities in this game.

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made a 48-yard field goal in Saturday's preseason finale. The Washington offense struggled in the 37-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, so the 30-year old was only able to attempt two field goals. He was unable to convert a 55-yarder, however, head coach Ron Rivera said he had no concerns with the miss. Through his six NFL seasons, Hopkins has made 83.9% of his field goals and 94.9% of his extra points, which is right around the league average. Washington should have an improved offense from last season, but there still figures to be some better options at the kicker position for fantasy manager. Having said that, Hopkins can still be a viable streaming option to fill in for bye weeks.
