Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Jauan Jennings

Wednesday, September 24, 9:02 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is a flex play at best in Week 4. Kupp has been difficult to project in 2025. He delivered a WR2 outing in Week 2, but has otherwise been unplayable. For context, the Seahawks' offense struggled as a whole in Week 1, found its footing in Week 2, and the defense and special teams dominated in Week 3 so much that the offense was hardly needed. If Week 4 proves to be a more competitive game in Arizona, there will be room for Kupp to provide fantasy value. The good news is that Kupp does not seem to have lost his talent. He is still very adept at getting open, and he is a great safety valve for quarterback Sam Darnold. However, with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba entrenched as the clear No. 1 and rookie wideout Tory Horton blossoming, it may be prudent to only start Kupp in games where he will likely be essential to Seattle's success. You likely did not draft Kupp to be a starter anyway, so a wait-and-see approach is advised in Week 4.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder) is officially active for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jennings missed Week 3 and was only able to log one limited practice this week. The 28-year-old has recorded seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets across two games so far in 2025. Jennings may be working on a limited snap count in Week 4, so fantasy managers may be wise to temper their expectations. He profiles as a WR3/flex option against Jacksonville in Week 4.
