Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Cooper Kupp

Wednesday, July 23, 1:20 PM

Per FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, free-agent wide receiver Keenan Allen has drawn interest from multiple teams in recent weeks. Schultz said it's his understanding that Allen has been waiting for training camps to get underway to better assess the landscape and get a clearer picture of each team's receiver situation. Even though the 33-year-old is past his prime, he's still easily one of the top free agents available with training camps starting this week. In his first and only season in Chicago in 2024 with the Bears, the six-time Pro Bowler struggled like the rest of the offense and caught only 70 of his 121 targets for 744 yards, although he did find the end zone seven times for the second straight season in 15 starts. Allen is by no means washed up and still has the tools to make an impact in fantasy, but it will all depend on where he lands.

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that new Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp still has some juice, and the team thinks he still has enough left in the tank to be a legitimate complementary piece to WR1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Kupp looked the part during offseason workouts and still has enough wiggle, understanding of leverage and quickness to be a pest underneath and in the red zone. The 32-year-old veteran is no longer the same receiver that accomplished the receiving Triple Crown in 2021, but he can still win with deception and his high-level route-running. Kupp's fantasy floor and ceiling are much lower now, and he's missed five or more games in three straight seasons due to injuries, but he can still be in play as a WR4/flex in the Pacific Northwest if he stays on the field. RotoBaller has him ranked just inside the top-50 pass-catchers.
