Who Should I Start? Tyler Boyd or Cooper Kupp

Tuesday, July 1, 12:16 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan that the team has had talks with free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd. It comes a day after Boyd said he's "absolutely" be interested in playing for the Steelers. It's unclear if a formal offer was made to Boyd, but the money that he's been offered around the league this offseason hasn't been in the neighborhood of what he's looking for. The Steelers acquired tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade on Monday with the Miami Dolphins, but they could still use additional receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. As things currently stand, Calvin Austin III is set for WR2 duties with Roman Wilson, Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek also on the roster. After eight seasons with the Bengals, Boyd caught 39 passes for 390 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (eight starts) for Tennessee in 2024.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) is expected to be active for Sunday's home tilt with the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Despite being listed as questionable while dealing with multiple injuries, the veteran should make his return from a one-game absence in Week 10. However, he'll be faced with more target competition, as the team added former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed at Tuesday's trade deadline. Kupp has played a clear second fiddle to running mate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2025, and the acquisition of Shaheed stands to dent his impact further. Look for him to stay involved while his new teammate is worked into the offense, but the 32-year-old is trending down.
