Brycen Hopkins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The New England Patriots quietly brought in free-agent tight ends Brycen Hopkins, Sean McKeon and Mitchell Wilcox in for workouts late last week, which could reflect on their desire to add another layer to the tight end depth chart of Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper and La'Michael Pettway. Hopkins has only 13 receptions on 19 targets for 196 yards and no touchdowns in his four NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. McKeon ended the 2023 season on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury and has only six catches on 11 targets for 38 yards and one touchdown in his four NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Wilcox has 29 catches on 35 targets for 211 yards and one touchdowns in his three years with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Brycen Hopkins led the team in receiving during their 21-20 Week 18 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Hopkins caught two of his three targets for 47 yards through the air. He and Davis Allen both saw some action with starting tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) out. The fourth-year player caught just three passes through the first 17 weeks but was allowed to showcase what he can do with starters resting. While Higbee may be on the injury report once again this week, Hopkins should not be considered in lineups against the Detroit Lions.
