Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Jayden Reed

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is not a great fantasy option in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. He is not receiving enough volume to provide consistent fantasy production. Kupp has been ok in games in which the Seahawks have been forced to put up a lot of points. With the Vikings struggling offensively, the Seahawks should be able to roll to victory in Week 13. Kupp's services are unlikely to be needed. The Vikings are also No. 2 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. While slot receivers such as Kupp are often immune to those types of statistics, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is so indexed on wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba that it does not matter. Kupp should remain out of lineups in Week 13.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that even though wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) is back at practice, he has to be given medical clearance to play, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "The plan is to see where he's at by the end of the week," LaFleur said. Reed has been back at practice for over a week now, but he's still up in the air to be officially activated from Injured Reserve to play in a big Week 14 divisional game against the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old is recovering from a broken foot that required surgery and a broken collarbone that he suffered back in Week 2. Reed should have a key role eventually in Green Bay's offense, and his nose for the end zone (18 total touchdowns through two-plus seasons) makes him a stash candidate in fantasy football leagues. However, expect Reed to be eased back into the Packers' offense when he's finally activated.
