Cooper Kupp News
Wednesday, July 15, 10:11 AM
Across 16 games in 2025, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp recorded 47 catches for 593 yards and two touchdowns on 70 targets. While Kupp was able to play in his most games since 2021, his numbers fell across the board while playing the WR2 role in Seattle behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Entering 2026, Kupp is now 33 years old and may face more pressure for targets and playing time from Seahawks wideouts Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton. However, Seattle may also be forced to throw the ball more this season following the loss of former running back Kenneth Walker III in free agency. The Seahawks ranked 30th in the NFL in pass rate last season. Fantasy managers should not expect Kupp to provide the same production he did at his peak with the Los Angeles Rams. Still, Kupp's current average draft position of WR83 in redraft leagues means his price has dipped low enough to where he could be worth a late-round dart throw.

Marvin Mims Jr. News
Thursday, July 16, 1:00 PM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is still only 24, but another major addition has made his 2026 role harder to trust. He finished last season with 37 catches for 322 yards and one touchdown, down from 503 yards and six scores in 2024. Denver then traded a first-round pick, among other selections, for Jaylen Waddle. Courtland Sutton remains, and Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant are also fighting for snaps. Mims will still matter to the Broncos because he is one of the NFL's better returners, but that does not help fantasy managers much. He played only 33% of Denver's offensive snaps last year, even before Waddle arrived. There is still a patience case in dynasty. Mims is 24, can create with the ball in his hands, and is entering the final season of his rookie contract. He has also acknowledged this could be his last year in Denver. Contenders should not count on him for 2026. Rebuilders with room should hold rather than sell for scraps, since a new team in 2027 may offer the receiving opportunity he has yet to find.
