Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Dallas Goedert

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught seven of nine targets for 90 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. After a quiet Week 1, Kupp looked like the player we know and love, and quarterback Sam Darnold repeatedly looked his way on third down. This feels like a performance that we can get used to as fantasy managers. Kupp did not display significant signs of slowing down in 2024. There is no reason to believe that he is completely toast as a player. As the Seahawks become more comfortable with their new offense, the wealth should spread to each of the team's top two wide receivers. Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Kupp is firmly on the flex radar moving forward. He could creep even higher as the offense continues to improve.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), who was inactive for the Week 2 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl rematch due to a knee sprain he suffered in the season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys, returned to the practice field on Wednesday, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. While it's not guaranteed that Goedert will play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams just yet, this is certainly a positive sign for his availability this weekend. The 30-year-old caught all seven of his targets for 44 yards in Week 1 and should be considered a must-start TE1 in fantasy if he returns for Week 3 action. With Goedert out against Kansas City, backup Grant Calcaterra finished with only one catch on two targets for six yards.
