Dustin Hopkins
K - LAC - IR
50°The Chargers placed Dustin Hopkins on injured reserve on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Hopkins has missed the previous four games with a hamstring strain and will now miss at least four more, effectively ending his fantasy season. Cameron Dicker should continue to fill in for Hopkins going forward and he is a passable option at the kicker position.
Dustin Hopkins is officially listed as doubtful to face the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact
No real surprise here, as Cameron Dicker will continue to kick for the Chargers in Week 11. There is no guarantee that Hopkins will win back the starting kicker job when his health returns, as Dicker has filled in admirably in his absence.
Dustin Hopkins did not participate in Los Angeles's Thursday practice prior to the Week 11 game against Kansas City.
Fantasy Impact
The DNP means it is unlikely Hopkins will be available Sunday. Cameron Dicker has been a Top 10 kicker for the last two weeks and is a viable replacement worth stashing for as long as this injury continues.
Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) missed his third consecutive practice on Friday. He has officially been ruled out for Week 10 against the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
With Hopkins sidelined, Week 9 hero Cameron Dicker will handle kicking duties for the Chargers once again. Given Los Angeles' strong offense, Dicker is a solid streamer this weekend.
Dustin Hopkins did not participate in the Chargers' practice on Thursday due to a hamstring issue.
Fantasy Impact
Hopkins has been sidelined since Week 6, leaving the door open for Cameron Dicker to take over kicking duties for the third time in 2022. Fantasy managers should assume they will be without Hopkins again in Week 10.
