Despite being banged up, he still led the team with a 25% first-read share. Hopkins ranks second on the team behind Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in red zone targets. Hopkins will run about 62% of his routes against Denzel Ward (53.3% catch rate and 107.6 passer rating) and Martin Emerson (12.5% catch rate and 39.6 passer rating).Hopkins' practice participation declined throughout the week, but he's expected to play. He started with a full practice on Wednesday before a limited session on Thursday, and he missed Friday's practice. Week 3 Positional Value: low-end WR3/Must-Sit if you have comparable options
