DeAndre Hopkins Status
rotoWire
Hopkins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
The 30-year-old wideout missed the first six games of the season due to a suspension and the final two with a knee injury. In between, he averaged 7.1 catches for 79.7 yards on 10.7 targets with three TDs in nine games, essentially providing his usual level of fantasy production until things fell apart Week 16 when third-string QB Trace McSorley completed only one of his 10 throws to Hopkins in what ended up being the wideout's final appearance of the season. Hopkins is signed through 2024, but he could be the subject of trade rumors this offseason with a non-guaranteed $19.45 million salary looming in 2023. Even if he stays in Arizona, there's a lot of uncertainty with coach Kliff Kingsbury a candidate to be fired and QB Kyler Murray recovering from an ACL tear.

DeAndre Hopkins (knee) ruled out for Cardinals Week 18
What it means:
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) has been ruled out for Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Hopkins will not return for the Cardinals' final game of the season due to a knee injury he suffered in practice last Friday. Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch, and Trey McBride will be the top targets for David Blough in Week 18. Hopkins will turn 31 this summer.
Hopkins had 64 catches on 96 targets for 717 yards and 3 touchdowns in nine games this season. He drew 10-plus targets seven times and tied for the second-most targets per game (10.9) among wide receivers.

Arizona's DeAndre Hopkins (knee) ruled out for Week 17's matchup versus Atlanta
What it means:
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) will not play in Week 17's game versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Hopkins will not be available on Sunday after Arizona's veteran was ruled out with a knee ailment. Expect Marquise Brown to see more targets versus a Falcons' defense allowing 29.1 FanDuel points per game to wideouts.
Brown's current projection includes 4.8 receptions for 52.5 yards on 8.5 targets.

Hopkins (knee) has been downgraded and will not play in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
What it means:
Considering Hopkins left Friday's practice early, it certainly appeared as if the knee injury was relatively serious and Saturday's designation confirms the notion. It's entirely possible Hopkins could be shut down for the rest of the season considering Week 18 means nothing in terms of the Cardinals' playoff hopes, but the team has yet to make anything official in that regard. Marquise Brown and Greg Dortch figure to get more opportunities with Hopkins out, although the prospect of third-stringer David Blough throwing the duo the ball might be an unenviably situation for fantasy managers.

DeAndre Hopkins (knee) questionable for Arizona in Week 17
What it means:
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is questionable for Week 17's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Hopkins is a late addition to the injury report after being downgraded to a missed practice on Friday with a knee injury. He is officially questionable to face the Falcons.
Hopkins' Week 17 projection includes 3.0 receptions, 40.0 yards, 0.16 touchdowns, and 6.4 FanDuel points. His salary is $8,400.
rotoWire
Hopkins (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
What it means:
Potential shadow coverage from Falcons CB A.J. Terrell is the least of Hopkins' problems with David Blough set to start at QB for the Cardinals and their star wideout now considered questionable. Hopkins left Friday's practice early -- early enough to be considered a non-participant rather than limited -- and thus appears truly in danger of landing on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. A Hopkins absence would boost the volume projections for WRs Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green, plus TE Trey McBride.
