Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Deebo Samuel Sr.

Thursday, October 30, 8:53 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) was listed with just a heel injury on Wednesday and was a full practice participant before being downgraded to limited on Thursday, with the Seahawks adding a hamstring injury, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Kupp's availability for Sunday night's contest against the Washington Commanders is now in question, and he might need to return to a full practice on Friday to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend. If the 32-year-old veteran is out or limited at all on Sunday Night Football, rookie Tory Horton would see an uptick in playing time as Seattle's WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Although Kupp did score on Oct. 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars -- it was his first score of the year -- he's gone over 50 receiving yards twice in his seven games in his first year in Seattle.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel missed only one game due to the heel injury that he's been managing for a few weeks, and will be joined by fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence because of a quadriceps injury. Samuel has enjoyed an outstanding bounce-back season with Washington through six games, catching 34 of his 43 targets for 315 yards and three touchdowns, and has added eight rushes for 45 yards and another score on the ground. McLaurin's return could take away a few targets, but Samuel has operated as the focal point of the passing attack in his absence. He's shown more downfield ability this year and continues to be one of the best YAC threats in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as WR25 in PPR leagues for Week 8 against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.
