Larry Fitzgerald is a shoo-in for enshrinement into Canton when he decides to hang the cleats up for good, but he’s also settled into the slot role in the twilight of his career. It will be Nickell Robey-Coleman’s job to cover him when the Eagles and Cards meet in Week 15.

Hopkins’ regular-season statistical line for 2019: 15 games, 15 starts, 150 targets, 104 receptions, 1,165 receiving yards, 68 first downs, seven touchdowns
