Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Bryce Young

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is expected to be released at the start of the league year on Wednesday. There is still a few more days for the Rams to work out a trade for Kupp, but it doesn't sound like anything is too close. The Rams really have no leverage here, so it's hard to imagine anyone giving up much of anything for Kupp at this point. The Rams already signed his replacement in Davante Adams, so it appears Kupp's days in Los Angeles are numbered. The superstar wideout is owed $29.7 million this year, but the Rams can save $7.5 million by cutting him. The 31-year-old wideout should hit the open market later this week.

After a disastrous rookie season in 2023, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young got off to a terrible start in 2024 and was benched after just two games in favor of veteran Andy Dalton. The Athletic's Joseph Person writes that the second-year signal-caller made arguably the most important 180-degree turnaround in franchise history. Young was among Pro Football Focus' highest-graded QBs in the final 11 weeks of the season, and his turnaround was sparked by improved body language and fire and much better footwork. Young's footwork ended the year "light years ahead" of where it was at in 2023 and to begin this season, according to a team source. The former No. 1 overall pick had a 61.8 completion percentage, 2,104 yards, 15 TDs and six interceptions in his last 10 starts. He won't be a QB1 in fantasy in 2025, but his turnaround gives fantasy managers hope he could eventually get there.
