Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Zay Jones

Friday, December 5, 11:03 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp remains a lower-tier option in fantasy in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons are a middle-tier defense against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. They have been very inconsistent, shutting down some teams while allowing others to have huge days. Whichever version of the Falcons' defense shows up on Sunday will not matter for Kupp. He is not a large enough part of the Seahawks' offense to merit fantasy consideration. Kupp has not caught more than three passes in a game since Week 5. That simply will not cut it for fantasy. The Seahawks value Kupp for his leadership and ability to make a big catch at the right moment. However, with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba running wild on the outside, the Seahawks do not need Kupp to be anything close to an alpha. If you are looking for a flex play in Week 14, you should look elsewhere.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones (Achilles) tore his Achilles in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Additionally, the Cardinals will be without top wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. "this week and possibly longer" after he underwent surgery for appendicitis. Arizona's receiving corps will be very thin for quarterback Jacoby Brissett on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Tight end Trey McBride should be a target hog, with Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch stepping up as the top two receiving options in the passing attack. Jones, 30, wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in 2025 in a struggling Cardinals offense. He will finish with just 12 catches for 183 yards and no touchdowns in his eight games played.
