Cooper Kupp News
Tuesday, March 10, 12:38 PM
The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed's new deal "suggests a demotion" for Cooper Kupp, who turns 33 years old in June. Last year, Kupp was second on the team in targets (70) and receiving yards (593), and third in catches (47). His 2026 salary cap hit sits at $17.4 million, fourth-highest on the team behind Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams, and Uchenna Nwosu. One of either Shaheed or Kupp will end up being a pricey WR3, and the team still has second-year wideout Tory Horton. If the Seahawks were to trade Kupp, they'd save around $9.4 million in 2026. Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), targets (191), receiving yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16) in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams, but he's steadily declined since then. He caught only two touchdown passes in 16 regular-season games in 2025 and might have an even smaller role in his 10th year in the NFL if he stays in Seattle.

Chris Godwin Jr. News
Saturday, February 14, 10:05 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. missed eight games in 2025 while working his way back from the devastating lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season. While he never found the trademark consistency that made him one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts at his peak, he did show flashes down the stretch, even while quarterback Baker Mayfield and Tampa's offense faltered. After making his second return of the season in Week 12, Godwin averaged 66.5 yards across Weeks 13 and 14, scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 15, and added a season-high 108 yards and another score in Week 17. After the firing of offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, the Buccaneers will welcome their fifth OC in as many years in Zac Robinson. While they can't seem to find consistency at the front of the room, the wide receiver corps is shaping up to look very similar in 2026, and while Godwin's 100-reception, 1,000-yard seasons may be behind him, he still profiles as a safe-floor, value buy for depth-seeking dynasty contenders.
