Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Saturday, October 11, 9:55 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp has only proven to have fantasy value when Seattle's passing game exhibits high volume. Seattle's defense has a solid chance of shutting down the Jaguars' offense in Week 6, which would render Kupp an unnecessary part of the offense. Kupp has earned five or fewer targets in three of his five games this season. He can clearly still get the job done when called upon, but the Seahawks are frankly not calling upon his services often. There are plenty of other players, either on the waiver wire or potentially on your roster, that would be safer bets for consistent production in Week 6. If you need a break-glass option, Kupp could produce if the Jaguars' offense shows up. However, that is an absolute last resort scenario.

The Carolina Panthers have listed tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) as questionable to play in the Week 6 tilt against the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, according to The Athletic's Joe Person. Sanders was limited in Wednesday's practice, was able to practice in full on Thursday, and was then limited again on Friday. The 22-year-old is attempting to return from a high-ankle sprain that has kept him sidelined for the last two weeks. Sanders will test out his ankle during pre-game warmups on Sunday and is being treated as a game-time decision this weekend. Carolina could get both Sanders and receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) back, but the offense will be without running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) for a second straight week. Tommy Tremble has seen more pass-game looks at tight end with Sanders out the last couple of weeks, but if Sanders returns on Sunday, he should step right back into his TE1 in Carolina.
