Who Should I Start? DeVante Parker or Cooper Kupp

Monday, May 20, 8:11 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVante Parker announced his retirement on Monday evening. The 31-year-old, who signed with the Eagles in March, was once one of the NFL's most promising wideouts. He spent most of his career in Miami, where he had the best season of his career in 2019 by amassing 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns off 72 receptions. Parker spent a few more years in Miami before suiting up for the Patriots over the last two seasons. However, he was nowhere near as productive as he was in 2019, so New England released him. The 31-year-old will finish his NFL career by totaling 690 catches for 5,660 yards and 27 touchdowns.

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.
