Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or D.K. Metcalf

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) was unable to avoid the IR with his hamstring issue before the season started. According to Sarah Barshop of ESPN, head coach Sean McVay was reluctant to give a timeline and said that the Rams are "hopeful" that the star receiver can return by Week 5 as they previously planned. They knew that he would have to miss their first four games once they made the decision to move him to the IR, but his return in Week 5 isn't set in stone right now. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates as the tentative return date approaches.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf led the team with six catches and 112 receiving yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. Metcalf's first four receptions came in the first half and all went for 19 yards or longer. After making two more catches on the Seahawks' opening drive of the third quarter, the fifth-year veteran was not thrown to again. In the second half, Seattle's offensive game plan leaned heavily on the run game and relied on the tight ends to make gains through the air. Metcalf's two catches, along with Jake Bobo's fourth-quarter touchdown, represented the only wide receiver targets after halftime, so maybe a change was made to the game plan during the break. Seattle takes on the New York Giants in Week 4, where Metcalf can be trusted to put up WR2 numbers as long as he can keep himself in the game.
