Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Chris Olave

Friday, October 17, 9:04 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is not entering a friendly matchup for his fantasy football props this week. Kupp has produced when the Seahawks have needed his services. However, Seattle's defense should be able to handle the Texans' offense, leading to low volume in the Seahawks' passing game. Kupp has only cleared five targets and four receptions twice in six games this season. On both of those occasions, Seattle was playing significantly from behind at one point in the game, and the passing game was necessary to even the score. Otherwise, the Seahawks have attempted to heavily rely on the running game in 2025. Kupp is likely going to be a flex option in the right matchups this year. However, this does not project to be one of them.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave caught five of his seven targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears. Olave briefly exited the contest in the first half and was evaluated in the medical tent, but he returned to the game and proceeded to score a pair of touchdowns. This was the first two-touchdown game of Olave's career, and he also set a new career-high in fantasy points (26.8 in PPR leagues). The 25-year-old has sneakily been one of the most consistent fantasy receivers this year, scoring double-digit points in all seven of his games so far. As long as he can continue to avoid the injury bug, he'll remain a strong WR2 option in most leagues. He faces off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week.
