Cooper Kupp News
Saturday, October 10, 6:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp continues to trend in the wrong direction rather quickly. Kupp went from being the WR1 in 2021 to fighting for targets and a roster spot over the last couple of years, especially after leaving the Rams for the Seahawks. This year, Kupp has mustered just nine catches for 114 yards and a touchdown, and last week, he was held to a measly one catch for 13 yards. Last Sunday marked the third time this season he has produced six or fewer fantasy points in PPR leagues. He is clearly overshadowed by Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the passing game, but he also found himself behind AJ Barner and Rashid Shaheed in the pecking order more often than not this year. After all, those young players are trending up while he's trending down. Kupp can be benched or left on waivers in all leagues ahead of Week 5 against the 49ers, who have limited opposing receivers to the sixth-fewest fantasy points this year.

DK Metcalf News
Friday, October 9, 2:50 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 4 and is in a great spot to produce again in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis is giving up the eighth-most receiving yards and the fourth-most yards per target to opposing wideouts. The Colts are also allowing explosive plays at a very high rate, with receivers logging six receptions of 40-plus yards against them through four weeks. Given Metcalf's role as both quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite target and a downfield threat, the eighth-year pro offers plenty of upside in this matchup. The biggest concern for Metcalf's outlook is the weather in Pittsburgh, as heavy rain and wind could impact the Steelers' passing attack. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on the forecast before locking him into their lineups, but Metcalf remains in fantasy WR2 or flex consideration on Sunday.
