Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Cooper Kupp

Saturday, November 1, 12:17 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown at least two touchdown passes in three straight games, but may need to do even more to keep pace with the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. The 7-1 Colts boast the league's top-ranked offense, averaging over 33 points per contest. While their defense has been solid overall, it has been more effective against the run than the pass, surrendering the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers. If Pittsburgh falls behind early, Rodgers should have enough passing volume at home to deliver for fantasy purposes. He comes in as the QB18 in RotoBaller's Week 9 rankings and can be viewed as a streaming option or high-end QB2 on Sunday.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) is not expected to suit up for Sunday night's contest with the hosting Washington Commanders. Coming out of the team's bye, the 32-year-old was a full practice participant, though listed with a heel injury. That changed later in the week as Kupp's practice status was downgraded each of the ensuing two days. If he is eventually deemed inactive, it would further diminish Seattle's passing attack, as they'll already be without teammates Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quad). In that case, Tory Horton, Cody White, and Ricky White III are the only other receivers without a designation behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
