LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Chicago

Kupp has his worst game of the season last week against the 49ers as he only caught three passes for 11 yards. Even though those stats are season-low, he tied his season-high in targets with nine, but it was a difficult matchup, nonetheless. We have seen from both Kupp and Robert Woods this season, where if they do not score a touchdown, their receptions and yards are only sustainable to make them WR3s.

Week 7 will be a tough spot for Kupp to rebound as Chicago boasts the 3rd aFPA defense against WRs this season. Kupp and the Rams offense will be in for a difficult matchup against the Bears, so owners so should temper expectations for Kupp as he is looking as WR3 in this one.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at San Francisco

Kupp saw eight targets last week against Washington which he turned into five receptions for 66 yards. After consecutive games with a touchdown, Kupp failed to reach the endzone in this one, yet he remained the target in leader amongst the rest of the receiving group. The latter has been true all season, however, because how much the ball is being spread out both through the air and on the ground, Kupp’s ceiling is capped. His matchup this week against San Francisco and the 17th ranked defense in aFPA to WRs should see be another one for Kupp. However, without the target volume, Kupp will remain a touchdown-dependent WR2.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Washington

Kupp finished as the Rams leading receiver last week against the Giants as he turned his seven targets into five receptions for 69 yards and one touchdown. In what was already shaping up to be a dud for Kupp, he broke loose for a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown late in the fourth quarter, salvaging what would have been his worst game of the season. Kupp had the same number of targets as Robert Woods, but he saw fewer snaps, which has been the norm all season.

With Jared Goff spreading the ball around, Kupp has consistently remained the most productive Rams receiver this season, making his Week 5 matchup against Washington one that should keep in the high-end WR2 conversation.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Buffalo

Kupp had a better showing in Week 2 than in the season opener as he finished with five catches for 81 yards to go along with 19 rushing yards. There wasn’t much in the passing attack for Rams in this one as Tyler Higbee was the focal point for the offense, but the good thing is that Kupp was more involved throughout than the previous week. Still working out of the slot, Kupp is going to draw easier matchups in against an elite Buffalo defense, which will make him the more desirable option in the is Rams passing game. We like Kupp as an upside WR3 in this Week 3 contest.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Philadelphia

Fresh off signing a lucrative contract extension, Kupp turned in an uninspired performance Week 1 as he finished with four catches for 40 yards on five targets. The good thing is he was only behind Robert Woods in targets (8) and was on the field for almost 85% of the snaps. Continuing to work out of the slot, Kupp is in a prime position for a rebound game against the Philadelphia Eagles who gave up 50 yards on just three catches to Washington slot receiver Steven Sims Jr. If Kupp continues to see heavy work out of the slot, expect to have his first big game of the new season, making him a solid WR2 with plenty of upside.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Dallas

2019’s WR4 has an interesting road ahead of him. Kupp was on an absolute tear the first half of last season and it appeared he would be running away with the overall WR1 title. However, an offensive scheme change midway through the season had him as the team’s third option behind Robert Woods and Tyler Higbee. However, that did not mean Kupp was not productive as he had one touchdown in each of the last five games of the season, including a Week 15 matchup against Dallas. Kupp should work out of the slot a lot in this game, a position Dallas has struggled with recently, making Kupp a solid WR2 in the season opener.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Last season was by far Cooper Kupp’s best season as his 94 receptions for 1161 yards and 10 touchdowns were all career-bests. Kupp was one of the best WRs to own in fantasy before his Week 9 bye as he had five games in that eight-game span with over 100 yards including one for a season-best 220 yards right before the bye. However, immediately after that, his usage took a steep decline as the offense moved away from their signature three-WR sets to heavier two-TE set to help quell their offensive line woes. Even though Kupp’s usage was not the same, he scored a touchdown in each of the last five games, still proving his ability to be productive in any version of this Ram’s offense.

Fantasy Downside

Despite Kupp's WR4 finish in half-PPR leagues last year, there were plenty of red flags that should be concerning for 2020. Kupp seemingly took a back seat to Tyler Higbee towards the end of the season as their two-TE set proved to beneficial to the entire offense—often being benched throughout the game by Sean McVay. The team’s willingness to trade away Brandin Cooks further solidifies their stance on moving away from the 3-wide receiver set that brought Kupp so much success.
2020 Bottom Line

It will be interesting to see how this LA Rams offensive breaks down, as pending which way they decide to structure their offense is the deciding factor if Kupp is in store for another high-end WR1 season or a low-end WR3. We have Kupp ranked 12th amongst WRs and his current ADP in 12-team leagues has him going at the end of the third round. Kupp has always been incredibly productive when targeted, however, the number of targets he will get in 2020 might be too big of an unknown to take him as early as he is going.
