It's not known when Hopkins suffered the ankle injury -- he played all 72 offensive snaps last week in Houston's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with five catches for 77 yards. He filled in as the No. 1 receiver with Andre Johnson concussed. Hopkins is enjoying a successful sophomore season with 69 catches for 1,167 yards and six touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: Hopkins has been a solid WR3 most of the year, but his Week 16 status is not shaping up well despite an appealing matchup with the Ravens secondary. The Texans are down to either Case Keenum or Thad Lewis as starting QBs for Sunday, and Johnson will be back on top of that. Hopkins isn't a realistic starting option for the final week of the fantasy season.
