Sterling Shepard News
Tuesday, September 15, 11:36 AM
The New York Jets are signing veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard to their practice squad, according to Mike Garafolo. Shepard had a brief stint with Houston late in the preseason before being released at final cuts, and now he's heading back to New Jersey after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Giants. The timing makes sense for a Jets team dealing with some receiver injuries. Omar Cooper Jr. is week-to-week with an ankle sprain, while Tim Patrick was placed on injured reserve over the weekend. Shepard caught 39 passes for 371 yards and one touchdown in 13 games with Tampa Bay last season, so there is still some experience here if New York needs it. For now, though, this is only a practice-squad move. Shepard would need to be elevated before he can help on game day, and there is no reason for fantasy managers to add him in standard leagues yet.

Cooper Kupp News
Saturday, November 7, 6:11 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp has seen generally low volume in the passing game throughout the 2026 season, recording 19 receptions on 30 targets for 206 yards (10.8 yards per reception) and two touchdowns. He currently ranks third on the team in targets and receptions, and second in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Most recently, Kupp played 58 out of 63 offensive snaps (92%) in a Week 8 loss to the Chicago Bears. He drew three targets against the Bears, but recorded just one reception for seven yards that went for a touchdown. For good reason, Jaxon Smith-Njigba dominates targets in the passing game, but Kupp could see a slight uptick in his production in a Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Fellow wide receiver Rashid Shaheed remains out for a second consecutive week, which should open up opportunities for Kupp and wide receiver Tory Horton, with Smith-Njigba drawing the attention of an Arizona defense that allows 220.5 passing yards per game (15th in the NFL). With Sam Darnold (quadricep/ribs) out, the Seahawks will start Drew Lock at quarterback. Kupp is RotoBaller's No.54 wideout for Week 9 (half-PPR) and is a touchdown-dependent fantasy play that is better left on the bench or waiver wire.
