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.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Suffers Tweaked Hamstring

Sunday, October 4, 4:35 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) was unable to return during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice reportedly suffered a tweaked hamstring while trying to make a play during the first quarter, per Sam McDowell. He was originally listed as questionable, but was downgraded to doubtful and never returned to the game. The Chiefs also lost Tyquan Thornton (ankle) during this game. Fantasy managers should get an update on Rice during the week, but the team is on bye this upcoming week. That means Rice will get a whole week to rest and recover before the Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.
