Cooper Kupp News
Monday, July 27, 6:49 AM
Seattle Seahawks veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp made a diving, one-handed catch on Sunday that drew a huge reaction from the gathered crowd and will take some serious work to unseat as the reigning play of the summer in the early days of training camp. In his first year with the team, Kupp caught only 47 passes for 593 yards and a career-low two touchdowns, but he told reporters during minicamp that he never considered retirement, and Seahawks beat writer Gregg Bell pointed to his most recent display of athleticism as evidence that he made the right decision. At 33 years old, the two-time Super Bowl champion and former Offensive Player of the Year no longer has the consistency to earn every-week consideration in lineup fantasy leagues. However, his catch on Sunday serves as a reminder that RotoBaller's WR71 could still have a place in best ball leagues.

Rashee Rice News
Saturday, August 8, 7:23 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (undisclosed) headed to the locker room with a trainer on Saturday. Media members surrounding the Chiefs were unclear about when a possible injury occurred or whether it was routine maintenance. Rice walked off laughing with a trainer, so it doesn't appear to be a significant issue. The fourth-year receiver underwent knee surgery in May to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation and is still working his way back. His production over the past two seasons has been elite, averaging 6.4 receptions on 8.9 targets, with over 70 yards per game and eight touchdowns in 12 games. His current price in fantasy football leagues is high, so managers will need to evaluate his injury status heading into Week 1.
