Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Calvin Ridley

Friday, November 21, 6:48 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp should not be on your fantasy radar in a Week 12 face-off with the Tennessee Titans. Kupp continues to be important to what the Seahawks do on offense. He is a great veteran option who has been solid on important downs. However, Kupp's role does not translate to fantasy success. Kupp has only topped 59 receiving yards twice this season. He is not receiving consistent or high-quality volume. Even in a great matchup with the Titans, Kupp should not be in lineups. He is likely to be a background piece for Seattle in a game they should win with ease. At this point, Kupp may not even be worth rostering. He will have a fantasy-relevant game here and there, but they will be difficult to predict.

The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.
