Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Garrett Wilson

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught seven of nine targets for 90 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. After a quiet Week 1, Kupp looked like the player we know and love, and quarterback Sam Darnold repeatedly looked his way on third down. This feels like a performance that we can get used to as fantasy managers. Kupp did not display significant signs of slowing down in 2024. There is no reason to believe that he is completely toast as a player. As the Seahawks become more comfortable with their new offense, the wealth should spread to each of the team's top two wide receivers. Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Kupp is firmly on the flex radar moving forward. He could creep even higher as the offense continues to improve.

After an encouraging Week 1 performance, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the remainder of the offense came crashing back to Earth in their 30-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills. Justin Fields looked like a completely different player in Week 2, completing just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards. In turn, the rest of New York's skill players struggled. If not for backup QB Tyrod Taylor somewhat salvaging Wilson's line (4/50), it'd have been an even worse outing. It's been a mixed bag for the Jets thus far. While Wilson's talent is of the upper echelon, consistent WR1 production will be challenging to come by in his current situation. Volume should keep him afloat to some degree for fantasy, but the Ohio State alum is more of a volatile, WR2/3 until the offense shows some stability. He'll get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.
