Cooper Kupp Has "Plenty Left in the Tank," Impressing Teammates in Training Camp

Thursday, August 14, 9:25 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp has "plenty left in the tank" and has shown the ability to "get open against (star cornerback) Devon Witherspoon" in training camp practices, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Kupp is entering his first year in Seattle after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Rams. The 32-year-old recorded 67 catches for 710 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games for Los Angeles in 2024. Seattle signed Kupp to complement third-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is coming off a breakout season. Kupp has had major struggles staying healthy (18 missed games over the last three years), but he can still be productive in fantasy when he's on the field. He profiles as a WR4 in PPR-scoring and could outperform that rank on a per-game basis.

Rashid Shaheed Showing More Physicality in Camp

Wednesday, July 30, 11:10 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is playing through physical coverage in training camp practices so far, according to Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports. Nowak notes that this has been a clear area of improvement for the fourth-year receiver since he entered the league in 2022. Once known exclusively as a downfield deep-ball threat, Shaheed was showing signs of becoming a more complete receiver in 2024 before tearing his meniscus in Week 6 and missing the remainder of the season. In the six games he played, Shaheed caught 20 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns, averaging an impressive 2.25 yards-per-route-run. The Saints' question marks at quarterback hold down his fantasy value, but Shaheed is an intriguing late-round dart throw who could be on the verge of a breakout in his age-27 season.
