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.

Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Monday, April 6, 5:26 AM
Free Agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. played in 16 games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, his seventh time in as many seasons that he was unable to log a full slate of games, and the oft-injured wideout currently remains unsigned. With the NFL Draft less than three weeks away, many receiver-needy teams are likely taking a more patient approach to see if they can fill that need with a younger, cheaper option in what is considered a deep draft class at the position. At his peak, Samuel was one of the most unique playmakers in the league, but that hasn't kept pundits from attaching the "Deebo" comp to a prospect almost annually, and this year is no different. Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. carries the moniker in the 2026 draft class, and to a lesser extent, so does Louisville's Chris Bell, who is expected to fall in the draft following an ACL tear in the Cardinals' final game of the season.
