Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Joshua Palmer

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer continues to be a non-factor in the team's offense, seeing just two targets in Week 5 despite playing 51% of offensive snaps against New England. Since his nine-target outing in Week 1, Palmer has failed to see more than three looks in any game, making it clear he's fallen down Buffalo's receiving hierarchy. With Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman commanding more consistent opportunities and the Bills leaning on their ground game, Palmer's path to fantasy relevance remains nonexistent. He can safely be left on waivers in all formats, as his current role offers little to no upside heading into Week 6.
