Hopkins owners - how are you guys feeling about him now?

I find it funny that this dude killed it with the likes of Brian Hoyer, Brandon Weeden and so on, but Brock Osweilier is the one that kills his stock.

I cant find a trade for him that I like without taking a massive hit or loss on his individual value.

I am holding onto him a bit longer. Benching him this weekend because I have some other pieces that will be able to carry the load for me

However next week on I need him to start and play like a starter.

if you take out that 1 catch for 4 yard game, he hasnt been that bad. That would put him at a 70ypg average, which is about an 1100 pace for a season. 83 catches, 8 TDs. I mean it could be worse

Yea I'm not getting the hate for gordon, he's been pretty solid... I can take losing Hopkins because I have baldwin, maclin, marshall, and curley

He hasn't been that bad but that's mainly been due to volume. Granted the chargers have nothing behind him (sorry Dex) and not much out wide with Allen gone.

Do you honestly believe he'll catch 83 passes this year? You know he'll continue averaging under 4 per carry and fumble every other game.

Edit: Hell, he had 14 games last year and couldn't manage a TD. Overall his numbers are actually worse this year then last outside of the TD's.

Exactly. Outside of that game, I thought he has been pretty good with a garbage QB. Granted, those aren't Hopkins numbers, but he has been fine and will only get better IMO.

This is pretty much my thought process. I'm rolling with him.

Prob bc you replied to him like you're talking about Melvin Gordon

Yea, you can't just throw out one game.

I'd take the odds he gets benched over fumbling and ineffectiveness over him catching 83 passes.
