Cooper Kupp Remains an Unreliable Fantasy Option

Saturday, October 10, 6:05 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp continues to trend in the wrong direction rather quickly. Kupp went from being the WR1 in 2021 to fighting for targets and a roster spot over the last couple of years, especially after leaving the Rams for the Seahawks. This year, Kupp has mustered just nine catches for 114 yards and a touchdown, and last week, he was held to a measly one catch for 13 yards. Last Sunday marked the third time this season he has produced six or fewer fantasy points in PPR leagues. He is clearly overshadowed by Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the passing game, but he also found himself behind AJ Barner and Rashid Shaheed in the pecking order more often than not this year. After all, those young players are trending up while he's trending down. Kupp can be benched or left on waivers in all leagues ahead of Week 5 against the 49ers, who have limited opposing receivers to the sixth-fewest fantasy points this year.

Kalif Raymond Still a Deep-League Option

Tuesday, October 13, 5:28 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond has cooled off after a red-hot start to the season, but he could still be a valuable deep-league option, especially with Caleb Williams (hamstring) potentially nearing a return. Raymond went off in Week 1 with Williams at QB, catching eight of nine targets for 84 yards against the Panthers. He also had a long touchdown against the Eagles with Case Keenum at quarterback, finishing with six catches for 90 yards and the score. He has cooled off since Tyson Bagent came in to start against the Jets and Packers, totaling just five catches for 12 yards in those two games. When Williams comes back, he could still have deep-league value from the waiver wire, though, based on the upside he showed in Ben Johnson's offense when Williams is at the helm.
