Draft note

by John Paulsen

Kupp was the No. 27 receiver last year (half-PPR) while playing 15 games. He was the No. 4 receiver in 2019 on roughly the same usage (134 targets in 2019 vs. 124 targets in 2020). He only caught three touchdowns and his yards per game dropped by 11%, which contributed to the severe drop in overall production. Kupp’s knee caused him to miss the playoff game against the Packers, but in early June he said that his knee was “doing really well.” If healthy, he should have a productive 2020. Matthew Stafford brings a stronger arm and a significantly higher average depth of target (aDOT), which will probably help Robert Woods and the other L.A. receivers more than it will Kupp, though in the case of Stafford-to-the-Rams, a rising tide may lift all boats. He’s being drafted as a middle-of-the-road WR2 and that’s fair value.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

The arrival of Matthew Stafford benefits every receiving option on the Rams including Cooper Kupp. Although Kupp’s Average Depth of Target (aDOT) may not increase because of his role as a slot receiver, he does stand to be Stafford’s best slot weapon since Golden Tate. In four seasons with Stafford, Tate topped 1,000 receiving yards three times. Kupp has reached the 1,000-yard mark once in four seasons. Kupp led the Rams in team target market share in 2020 despite playing one fewer game than Robert Woods. While touchdowns are not predictable, Kupp’s three last season were the fewest of his career and even one more is a boost to his fantasy upside.

Fantasy Downside

Kupp’s upside may be attached to former Rams QB Jared Goff. According to PFF’s Scott Barrett, Jared Goff targeted slot wide receivers 25.8% of the time, the third-most in the NFL (2009-18, min. 800 career pass attempts). Stafford was 18th at 18.9%. The Rams receiving corps added DeSean Jackson and TuTu Atwell, but the majority of the outside work appears to be set with Woods and Van Jefferson. Jefferson led the Rams in aDOT (in a smaller sample) and Woods is set for an increase in aDOT. Darrell Henderson is also a trustworthy running back in the passing game, a position that Stafford targeted the fourth-most in Barrett’s same study. At 28-years old, Kupp is at the beginning of his decline window that goes until age 33-34.

Kupp is an established receiver that has 1,000-yard upside, but it does not guarantee the same success Tate had with Stafford.

2021 Bottom Line

Kupp is firmly entrenched as a WR2 with potential upside to reach top 10-15 status. The arrival of Stafford does not increase his target share based on historical data on Stafford, but the upgrade to him benefits the offense, including Kupp.
