Cooper Kupp News
Monday, March 30, 11:20 AM
In his first season as a member of the Seattle Seahawks in 2025, veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp hauled in 47 receptions for 593 yards and two touchdowns on 70 targets across 16 games. While Kupp was finally able to make it through a full season after missing 18 games due to injury between 2022 and 2024, his production declined sharply from his peak years as a member of the Los Angeles Rams. Fellow Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL in 2025 and should continue to dominate targets in Seattle in 2026. The Seahawks also re-signed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a lucrative three-year contract in free agency, which could push Kupp even further down the target pecking order. While Kupp is still a trustworthy veteran whose role in the Seattle passing game is unlikely to be completely minimized, his fantasy value in dynasty formats is fading rapidly as he enters his age-33 season.

Christian Kirk News
Monday, March 16, 1:16 PM
The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk to a one-year deal worth $6 million on Monday, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Kirk was a disappointment with 28 catches on 52 targets for 239 yards and one touchdown in his 13 regular-season games (three starts) in 2025 in his only season with the Houston Texans. However, he did close out the year on a strong note in two playoff games, catching 10 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns. Kirk is the latest addition to the Niners' WR room after the team signed future Hall of Fame pass-catcher Mike Evans in free agency last week. The additions of Evans and Kirk likely mean that Jauan Jennings won't be back in the Bay Area in 2026. Barring any additional injuries at the position in San Fran, Kirk figures to be the No. 3 behind Evans and Ricky Pearsall going into next season, his ninth in the NFL. After two straight rough seasons for Kirk, his fantasy value is way down, but landing in Kyle Shanahan's offense could make him a deep-league sleeper in PPR formats.
