WR Cooper Kupp, SEA (2 Viewers)

I'm kind of amazed to have somehow underestimated him. Through 14 games now, he's at 122/1625/14.

I had him at 132/1690/13 in 16 games, which would be 141/1795/14 in 17 games.

He's gonna blow past that if he actually plays three more games. Is he the best value in fantasy drafts since Randy Moss in 2007? Who else was projected so middle of the road and became so far and away their positional #1?

 
And next year he'll get drafted in the top 6 of every draft and probably disappoint relative to expectation or (God forbid) get hurt, just like so many other consensus #1 positional picks. This was the year to have him, kudos to those who saw something like this coming, I certainly didn't. I felt the Rams' WR positions were a bit murky, lesson learned, dig deeper.

 
He was a beast all year for me. Unfortunately I lost my playoff game with the 3rd highest score of the week. Went against the highest. Otherwise this is the guy that would have carried me to a championship.

I drafted him in a significant league and I've been thinking of your legendary call all season. Literally since week 1. I haven't wanted to jink it but at this point Cooper Kupp is inevitable. One of the greatest calls of all time by you.

funny enough, drafted Kupp in the 5th this year, and by about week 4-5 it brought back memories when I drafted Moss in 2007 in about the same round, might have been a little later in fact. 

 
I was thinking of trading him this past offseason, then thought "He could have a good bounce back year with Stafford.  I think I'll hold."  My only regret is not following that up by getting him in my other leagues.

 
Cooper Kupp caught 6-of-7 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 17 win against the Ravens. 

Kupp came within five yards of his 11th 100-yard outing of 2021 while breaking Isaac Bruce's single season Rams receiving yardage record with a second half reception against a Baltimore secondary that mostly held Kupp in check. Again serving as Matthew Stafford's underneath security blanket, Kupp turned several short receptions into lengthy gains. He barreled into the end zone on a first half red zone catch, and nearly netted a second score with a red zone target. This year's fantasy football MVP didn't let managers down in their championship matches. He'll finish the season against a Niners team he burned for 122 yards in Week 10.

Cooper Kupp caught 11-of-14 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' NFC Championship win over the 49ers.

Kupp's 14 targets led the team and accounted for over 31% of Matthew Stafford's targets on 45 throws. More importantly, Kupp caught both of Stafford's touchdowns, with 11- and 16-yard touchdown grabs in the first and fourth quarters. The scores were his 19th and 20th touchdown grabs of the season with the Rams headed to the Super Bowl two weeks from now against the Bengals. Kupp will obviously be a major part of the Super Bowl game plan against Cincinnati.

Football Perspective@fbgchase

Cooper Kupp already has a record that is unlikely to be broken, and he will add to it in the Super Bowl: most receiving yards in a season, including playoffs. Kupp has 2,333 receiving yards this season and will likely finish with over 2,400.

No one else at even 2000!

Cooper Kupp caught 8-of-10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory over the Bengals, adding a seven-yard rush. 

The most unstoppable skill player in the league this season took over with the game on the line, recovering from a helmet-to-helmet hit in the end zone to catch what would prove to be the Super Bowl-winning touchdown moments later. Somewhere in the range of the WR17-20 by ADP, Kupp had the second best receiving season in the history of the NFL, with both his 145 receptions and 1,947 yards checking in No. 2 all time. The latter mark was just 17 shy of Calvin Johnson’s record. Although he had plenty of them, Kupp’s production was not big-game reliant. Instead, he was a metronome, clearing 90 yards in an astounding 16-of-17 contests. He drew fewer than 10 targets only three times. If there was the tiniest of nits to pick, it’s that two of those sub 10-look contests came in Weeks 17-18 as the Rams tried to employ a more run-heavy, balanced offense. Hopefully that is not a preview of things to come next season. Even if it is, Kupp is a perfect fit coach Sean McVay’s offense and has preternatural chemistry with Matthew Stafford. In his prime in a system that has long churned out boffo fantasy receiver numbers, Kupp will deservedly enter the offseason as the clear favorite for WR1 overall status in 2022 drafts.

I was at 100/1250/10 for Kupp, and I liked him a lot.  I had him in my top 10 WRs.  I thought Instinctive was way out there. 

Turns out, he wasn't.  Kupp ended the regular season at 138/1829/15.

The most amazing part of Kupp's year was his consistency.  In my main league (1/2 PPR), Kupp's weekly scores were

18, 22.3, 34.8, 16.1, 8.9, 12.7, 31.5, 34.6, 23, 15, 19.7, 15.1, 24.9, 32.2, 18.3, 18.5, 25.1

This consistency will never be duplicated.  This is insane.  Kupp scored 15+ 1/2 PPR fantasy points for every week but TWO. 

Season for the ages.  

 
Rams signed WR Cooper Kupp to a three-year extension through 2026.

The deal is essentially a new five-year, $110 million deal that puts Kupp among the league's highest-paid wide receivers at $22 million per year. Kupp, 29 next week, said he didn't need to reset the wideout market, and he now slides in as the sixth-highest paid receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Brown, and Stefon Diggs. Kupp is coming off an historic 145-1,947-16 line last year as the Offensive Player of the Year. He's the WR1 headed into fantasy drafts.

It's true though. I hate to say it, but there was some definite prejudice against him coming into this season. He scored 440 points last season. The next closest WR was Davante Adams who had 343 almost 100 less points. The next highest scoring players?

1.) Cooper Kupp 440 points
2.) Josh Allen 403 points
3.) Justin Herbert 381 points
4.) Tom Brady 375 points
5.) Jonathan Taylor 373 points
6.) Patrick Mahomes 363 points
7.) Davante Adams 343 points



He outscored the consensus 1.01 by 67 points.
He outscored the highest scoring Quarterback by 37 points.
He outscored the next highest scoring Wide Receiver by 97 points.



There's no reason he shouldn't have been the 1.01 in a game built on scoring points. How does he start his next season? By putting up 32 points. WRs get hurt less than RB and there's a larger positional difference between him and Adams (93 points) than there was at QB1 and QB2 (22 points), RB1 and RB2 (29 points), and the coveted TE1 and TE2 (38 points).
 
It was tough watching CMC and JT slip away, but I’m suddenly feeling ok with drafting Kupp at 1.3 in not one, but two leagues. Even when Stafford plays like dog doo, he still gets me 31.8 points.
 
Kupp is an absolute stud in fantasy football. I unfortunately selected 8th overall in my draft and he was long gone at the #3 pick which in my opinion could have been higher. Kupp with provide TD's and huge receptions and yardage every game.
 
I don't understand how no teams have figured out how to slow this guy down. I get he is a great route runner and endless hustle and the chemistry with Stafford is beyond belief, but even the greats get shut down here and there with double teams and certain schemes.
 
Downgraded him (and all Rams) based on Stafford's elbow. Still not regretful. Staff looked like poo. If it's the elbow - and I thought I saw at least a couple odd-looking deliveries that made me think he was compensating - that is only going to worsen as the season wears.

Kupp was indeed worthy of 1.1 consideration otherwise. It's not just his general excellence but even moreso his week in and out consistency. That said, if Stafford's arm falls off this year, even the mighty Kupp might not survive the fallout - at least not as 1st round player. Staff has always been more a product of his (former) A++ arm than his head, and will be prone to cliff's edge whenever that arm goes.

And all of that isn't even yet considering how awful the OL looked last night. Was it all an anomaly against an elite defense? Maybe. Maybe not.

It's baffling and it makes no sense. He is essentially putting up Calvin Johnson peak production despite NOT being a 6 ft 5 and running a 4.35 forty. I was in the same boat as you and everyone else last year:

1.) It's a fluke.
2.) He's going to get hurt.


Then the playoffs came and all he did was set the record for the most receiving yards in post season history. I don't know WHY he does what he does and WHY nobody else can do what he does, but he's out there setting records and winning Super Bowls. If you still doubt him at this point, you're just a player hater or you don't have him rostered anywhere. You might be seeing the best WR since Jerry Rice. Granted, this is likely a product of rule changes but if that was the case WHY is nobody else doing it? :lol:



I'll leave you with one more comparison. Read the first page of this thread from when he was still in college. The production he was putting up IN COLLEGE is similar to what he is now putting up in the NFL. The NFL is becoming more and more like college football every year. His stats with what we now know is a below average QB in Jared Goff were serviceable, give him a guy like Stafford with a genius like McVay and here we are.



I don't understand WHY or HOW. All I know is that he scored 32 points last night which was more than my opponent's starting QB Josh Allen. You can question and player hate it all day, but the stats don't lie. Cooper Kupp is the best Wide Receiver in the NFL. Production, playoff success, great team player, champion. He even took a paycut to only be the 6th highest paid WR as well, when he could have easily reset the market. Humble.

Rams' Cooper Kupp not interested in resetting receiver market with next contract after historic 2021 season

Kupp isn't trying to best everyone at his position in dollars and cents
www.cbssports.com www.cbssports.com



Keep it up Kupp! What you're doing has little to no historical precedence and that's what makes it so damn hard to believe, lol.
 

Cooper Kupp caught 4-of-6 targets for 44 yards and rushed for a 20-yard touchdown in the Rams' Week 3 win over the Cardinals.​

Kupp's six targets led the team on a day the Rams called just 46 offensive plays, including 25 passes by Matthew Stafford. But it was "Ben Skowronek" who paced the Rams in receiving with a 4/66 line. Kupp dropped a touchdown on a dime from Stafford, but the slot receiver was able to save his fantasy day with the 20-yard rushing score. Kupp gets a Week 4 date with the 49ers on Monday Night Football.
