Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Harold Fannin Jr.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is not entering a friendly matchup for his fantasy football props this week. Kupp has produced when the Seahawks have needed his services. However, Seattle's defense should be able to handle the Texans' offense, leading to low volume in the Seahawks' passing game. Kupp has only cleared five targets and four receptions twice in six games this season. On both of those occasions, Seattle was playing significantly from behind at one point in the game, and the passing game was necessary to even the score. Otherwise, the Seahawks have attempted to heavily rely on the running game in 2025. Kupp is likely going to be a flex option in the right matchups this year. However, this does not project to be one of them.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a big performance in his team's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching seven of his 10 targets for 81 yards. He has a chance to build on that performance in Week 7's home game against the Miami Dolphins. Fannin is lined up to see an increased role against Miami as the Browns have already ruled David Njoku (knee) out for Sunday. He should see plenty of work from Dillon Gabriel, who has targeted Fannin and Njoku a combined 29 times over his two starts. Fannin sets up as a top-10 fantasy tight end against a Miami defense that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to his position this year.
