Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Jalen Coker

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp returned from his four-game absence at the same time Puka Nacua came back, and they brought the offensive firepower along with them. Kupp registered eight targets, five receptions, 51 yards, and one touchdown to help push the team to a 3-4 record with the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The only other pass-catcher with more targets was Nacua, and Kupp finished with the second-most receiving yards and longest catch of the game. He'll look to keep this momentum going in a Week 9 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

Undrafted Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker recorded the best outing of his young career in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Coker, a Holy Cross product, hauled in four receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown a 15-yard back shoulder catch in the game's waning seconds. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) out, Coker took full advantage of his opportunity, becoming a fan favorite and beacon of hope for crestfallen Panthers supporters. The status of Thielen and Johnson is unclear heading into Week 9, and their designation will determine the outlook on Coker's expectations. However, Carolina's diamond in the rough prospect could garner more exposure in next Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.
