Team Success > Individual Feelings
Hopkins had 50 yards yesterday. Isn't he supposed to be a veteran, All-Pro, #1 WR? Where as the SECOND YEAR kid is still quietly second in tuds on the team at week 11.
See that dude in your sig? Can you see him? He had nearly 300 yards receiving last week. Not a lot of balls and yards to go around when you have a WR on the team that is nearly unstoppable. He's gonna get the most targets and chances; rightfully so. He's Hopkins at his peak and then some. Hopkins is 32!
You can blame this team's lack of success on a lot of different areas. What you can't do, and it's laughable , is blame a 2nd year 6th round draft choice for quietly exceeding his 6th rd draft status.
Meanwhile in KC, the "All-Pro" had like 4 catches for 50 yards and his team barely broke the 15 point mark. After Travis Kelce, Hopkins has zero competition for targets on that team, zero!
4 catches for 50 yards.
