Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Trevor Lawrence

Saturday, October 11, 9:55 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp has only proven to have fantasy value when Seattle's passing game exhibits high volume. Seattle's defense has a solid chance of shutting down the Jaguars' offense in Week 6, which would render Kupp an unnecessary part of the offense. Kupp has earned five or fewer targets in three of his five games this season. He can clearly still get the job done when called upon, but the Seahawks are frankly not calling upon his services often. There are plenty of other players, either on the waiver wire or potentially on your roster, that would be safer bets for consistent production in Week 6. If you need a break-glass option, Kupp could produce if the Jaguars' offense shows up. However, that is an absolute last resort scenario.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will look to improve to 5-1 against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has had an up and down season so far, but he's done enough to win games. Last week's win translated to fantasy, after he put up 275 total yards and three total touchdowns against the Chiefs. It hasn't been the prettiest, but the offense should be feeling confident enough to have a solid outing this week after a big outing against a good Chiefs defense. That makes Lawrence a solid QB2 with upside due to his potential rushing and passing output against the Seahawks.
