Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Cooper Kupp

Thursday, January 9, 2:18 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been in the headlines after hinting toward wanting to be traded following the team's Week 18 loss to the New York Jets. Hill fell under 1,000 receiving yards in 2024 for the first time since 2019, and this year is the first time he has missed the playoffs since entering the NFL. However, the team has since said Hill has not requested a trade. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill played through a severe wrist injury all year and is committed to Miami after an "excellent" meeting with general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. It surely sounds like Hill will play for the Dolphins in 2025, and he could have a bounce-back campaign if he and Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp said on Monday that there is "no doubt" that he wants to continue playing in 2025. Kupp also said he "would love to be in L.A.," but acknowledged that he has no control over that. He has two years left on a contract extension that he signed in 2022 and will make $5 million guaranteed in 2025. Kupp was involved in trade rumors at the deadline in 2024. If the Rams were to cut him, they'd save $15 million in cash and $7.52 million against the salary cap. If they release him with a post-June 1 designation, they'll absorb $22.2 million in dead money. The 31-year-old veteran had the receiving Triple Crown in 2021 and was also named the Super Bowl MVP, but he had only 67 catches for 710 yards and six TDs in 12 regular-season games in 2024 -- he missed four games with an ankle injury. If he stays in LA, the presence of Puka Nacua will continue to limit his fantasy appeal, while he'll remain an injury risk.
