What do you expect from Deandre Hopkins in game 1?

[BritCard]

It's a tough one to call.

No warm up games. Shorter offseason. New team. New scheme. More receiving options.

I'm going to say...

6 catches for 72 yards and 1 TD

 

[juza76]

7 rec 105 yards, no touchdowns

Arnold 2 catches 38 yards 2 touchdowns

Murray 20/32 2 td pass

7 run 56 yards

Drake 16run 65 yards 1 td run


Score Arizona 31 San Francisco 28

 

[RON_IN_OC]

DHop: 9 Catches - 142 Yards - 2 TD's

It's gonna take a quarter to get him and Murray going....I think they will go underneath to Fitz, screens to Kirk, for the 1st couple of drives, to draw the defense in...and then unleash NUK.

 

[legend]

Sherman on him . . I say he goes off for 8 catches a buck ten.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I do not think his stats will be huge but I think he will be productive. Look, the Cards just activated DJ Foster to fill KeeSean Johnson's spot and Fitz said basically he will do whatever it takes to win even if that means running a jumbo package... it's Thesmel's week, the Cardinals are running

 

[cardsfanmd]

4 catches 48 yards and a td. Isabella will have a 40+ yard TD. Kirk will lead the receivers in yards. Fit will lead them in catches and get a score. Murray will throw for 300+ and 3tds. We’ll score between 24 and 34. I really really really want to predict the W though so we are likely gonna get hammered.

 

[wit3card]

I think around 90 yards and a TD

But we will see.

 

[Harry]

I think, like DJ, he’ll be trying to prove something. I expect a big game. That said, the Cards have lots of weapons.

 

[Solar7]

8 catches and a TD. 120 yards or so. Nothing long, as he gets bracketed the whole game, and we exploit things with Fitz and Kirk.

About 65 rushing, 35 receiving for Drake.

Funny.

I read the question and before opening the thread I picked: 6/80/1

 

[PACardsFan]

21 catches for 310 yards & 7 tds. We lose in OT 70-67.

 

[NuttinButTDs]

Zilch - the game will be cancelled

 

[AZCrazy]

He'll be doubled every play. He'll be somewhat productive but it will open our other guys wide.
I don't think the 49ers will be nearly as strong to start this season. Breida gone. Coleman out. Samuel out. Aiyuk likely out. They'll have Mostert and Kittle. Maybe Jszustchuckh the fullback will run a bit. Good players, but we have a lot of guys to throw at them defensively.. Plus we've added Phillips, Campbell, Kennard, Kirkpatrick, and Simmons to our defense in the offseason. I don't think they'll be running up the score on us.

If Nuk is doubled then Kirk should have a big game. Kirk is not your typical WR3, he is going to burn the 3rd and 4th string corners.

Then drop the easy wide open catch

 

[slanidrac16]

Watched the replay of the first half from last years game in Frisco. Our offense was driving them Crazy.

Nuk 6 catches 69 yards ( four for first downs). No td’s. Niners will try their best to take our shiny new toy away. They will be somewhat successful but they will pay for it in other ways.

The key to this game is limiting the Niners run game and pressuring Garrapolo up the middle. We need to get him off his spot. Nuk will be fine but this game hinges on the front 7 of the defense.

 

[CardNots]

No dropped passes

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Great game for Hop. Really impressed with the way he plays the position. Plays his ass off on every down.

 

[ajcardfan]

He impressed the hell out of me. Love how hard and well he runs after the catch!

 

[GatorAZ]

Best player on the field.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Strong game for Hop.

He really is a good runner after catch.

 

[Russ Smith]

When he and Kyler get on the same page more look out.

The scary thing is 2nd half even Fitz was almost a no factor, it was basically Hopkins catching and Murray running.

We HAVE to get something from Kirk and Isabella. The one time Kirk got open Kyler overthrew it

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

I expected a top 5 receiver in the league. I didn’t expect him to literally take the torch from Larry and run with it. Team Captain for years to come. Incredible leadership

 

[mjb21aztd]

He is cards best wr he was massive today

Def glad cards extended him

 

[PACardsFan]

21 catches for 310 yards & 7 tds. We lose in OT 70-67.

I wasn’t that far off his production!
