Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Tee Higgins

Cooper Kupp (hamstring/wrist) looks like he will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp was a question mark entering this week, but he did enough during practice to receive the go-ahead.. Unfortunately, Kupp should be overlooked as a fantasy option. The volume simply is not there for the veteran. To make matters worse, the Rams are one of the better defenses in the NFL. This does not project to necessarily be a high-volume passing game between two teams with stellar defenses. Kupp has exceeded three targets on just three occasions this season. With the addition of wide receiver Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline, Kupp figures to cede more volume in this offense. Seattle may give Kupp chances to prove to his old team that he still has what it takes in this league, but do not bank on that narrative. You are better off with Kupp on your bench this week.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was relatively quiet to begin the 2025 campaign. Although he found the end zone in Week 2 against the Jaguars, he had only seven catches through the first three weeks. Since then, it's been a different story, with Higgins scoring at least once in four of his last five appearances. He's also seen an uptick in volume, combining for 14 receptions (21 targets) for 323 yards in the Bengals' previous three contests. It appears Joe Flacco (shoulder) will continue looking in his direction, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats for the potential high-scoring encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
