I mean, I obviously have no idea what they're thinking. I do know that Hopkins never looks gassed the way Mike Evans has a lot of the time when I've watched him this season. And he's clearly wanted to be on the field on 3rd downs, but they always shake their heads at him.

I guess we'll see what they have planned eventually.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why he's not getting snaps now. They're saving him for the playoffs.

They need to do the same with Kelce.

I was surprised that Kelce played 66 of 74 snaps yesterday.

You think it might have anything to do with the conditional draft pick we used in the trade?

Same. Especially with a short week this week. We can thank the defense for forcing Reid's hand yesterday.

Honestly, no. Because that would be just about the dumbest fucking reason imaginable for keeping DHop off the field. If that were the reason, I’d say that was a fireable offense.

Would it tho? The risk of injury goes up along with the possibility of the higher draft pick the more he plays.

Yes. Because the difference between a late 4th and 5th round pick isn't insanely material and it only becomes a 4th if he plays 60% of snaps AND we make the Super Bowl.

We very possibly have 2 more losses already if Hopkins didn't exist on the team. Anyone here would do a 4th/5th pick swaps in a heartbeat for a Super Bowl appearance.
