Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Isiah Pacheco

Sunday, December 22, 8:44 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp only had three catches on three targets Sunday for 24 yards in the Rams' win over the Jets on Sunday afternoon. The Rams relied heavily on Kyren Williams and the ground game, leaving Kupp with limited work while Matthew Stafford totaled just 110 passing yards. In his 11 games this season, Kupp has caught 66 passes for 681 yards and six touchdowns. It was a step forward from his performance last week without a catch, but he's gone quiet at the worst time for fantasy owners while Puka Nacua has taken over as the focus of the passing attack.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco handled six carries for 18 yards in the 29-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Pacheco was forced out of the game in the fourth quarter with a rib injury and did not return. The severity of Pacheco's rib injury is not yet known. The 25-year-old once again played second fiddle to veteran Kareem Hunt, but both backs were inefficient on the ground. Pacheco also did not receive any work in the passing game this week. With Hunt receiving more work every week and Pacheco picking up a rib injury, the Chiefs likely lean in Hunt's direction the next time both backs are active. The Chiefs have nothing left to play for in the regular season since they clinched the top seed in the AFC with this win. Pacheco should be expected to rest in Week 18 against the Denver Broncos.
