Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Cooper Kupp

Thursday, August 14, 7:10 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was signed in the offseason to add firepower to the team's pass-catching corps. He tore his ACL during the 2024 season while a member of the Houston Texans and has been easing back into action thus far in training camp. Diggs has been fully cleared for participation in camp, but he did not suit up for New England's first preseason game last week. He sat down and talked to Scoop City's Dianna Russini on Wednesday, but would not commit to being ready to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 as he told her "we'll see" when asked. Signs have been positive for Diggs thus far, but fantasy managers drafting him need to at least be aware of the possibility that he is not out there in Week 1.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp has "plenty left in the tank" and has shown the ability to "get open against (star cornerback) Devon Witherspoon" in training camp practices, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Kupp is entering his first year in Seattle after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Rams. The 32-year-old recorded 67 catches for 710 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games for Los Angeles in 2024. Seattle signed Kupp to complement third-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is coming off a breakout season. Kupp has had major struggles staying healthy (18 missed games over the last three years), but he can still be productive in fantasy when he's on the field. He profiles as a WR4 in PPR-scoring and could outperform that rank on a per-game basis.
