Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or DK Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp should not be on your fantasy radar in a Week 12 face-off with the Tennessee Titans. Kupp continues to be important to what the Seahawks do on offense. He is a great veteran option who has been solid on important downs. However, Kupp's role does not translate to fantasy success. Kupp has only topped 59 receiving yards twice this season. He is not receiving consistent or high-quality volume. Even in a great matchup with the Titans, Kupp should not be in lineups. He is likely to be a background piece for Seattle in a game they should win with ease. At this point, Kupp may not even be worth rostering. He will have a fantasy-relevant game here and there, but they will be difficult to predict.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) has returned to his team's Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears after briefly exiting the game due to an ankle injury. Metcalf limped off the field and was checked out in the medical tent, but was ultimately cleared to return to the field. Metcalf may not be at 100% for the remainder of Week 12, but Steelers fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that he avoided a major injury. Now that he's back in the lineup, the 27-year-old should continue to be the top target for Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph in Week 12 against Chicago. Metcalf scored a touchdown in the first half before tweaking his ankle.
