Who Should I Start? Nelson Agholor or Cooper Kupp

Thursday, January 9, 10:26 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor finds himself in a bit bigger of a role heading into the Wild Card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The veteran saw career lows in targets, receptions, and yards this season, but he'll move up the depth chart with Zay Flowers (knee) getting ruled out. Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely will also play bigger parts in the passing game, so Agholor will still have competition for targets. He could be a sneaky option with a lower price in DFS lineups, but he's still a risky play.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp hauled in five of his seven targets for 46 yards in the Week 15 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It marked Kupp's most receptions in a game since Week 5, and his most receiving yards since Week 10. The former Los Angeles Rams wideout hadn't recorded more than three receptions in a game since Week 5 versus Tampa Bay, with Seattle's passing game flowing almost entirely through Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With newcomer Rashid Shaheed's role growing in Seattle's offense, Kupp feels like the clear third option in a low-volume passing game, which caps his upside in fantasy. The 32-year-old is still a tough player to trust in 12-team formats, but he'll be a decent flex option in deeper leagues on Thursday night against his former team.
