Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Zay Flowers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp should not be on your fantasy radar in a Week 12 face-off with the Tennessee Titans. Kupp continues to be important to what the Seahawks do on offense. He is a great veteran option who has been solid on important downs. However, Kupp's role does not translate to fantasy success. Kupp has only topped 59 receiving yards twice this season. He is not receiving consistent or high-quality volume. Even in a great matchup with the Titans, Kupp should not be in lineups. He is likely to be a background piece for Seattle in a game they should win with ease. At this point, Kupp may not even be worth rostering. He will have a fantasy-relevant game here and there, but they will be difficult to predict.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.
