WR Cooper Kupp, SEA (2 Viewers)

[Pip's Invitation]

…And I kept him for $36 (of $250) in my auction league that drafted on Tuesday. Good times.

 

[Ilov80s]

I truly can not believe I went against my own advice and took him over Diggs in one league. What was I doing lol

In fairness to you, they’re only one year apart age wise and Kupp is the superior fantasy WR when healthy. But healthy he has not been so far this offseason.

Yeah, I swung for the upside but Diggs does have the better, safer QB and offense...is what it is now. Luckily for me it's a 2 player keeper league and my keeper stunk so I was at a big disadvantage anyway.

I took everyone else’s advice and traded him away in the only (dynasty) league I had him in a deal for AJB. I paid more than just Kupp - think the deal is in the trade thread.
I don’t have anywhere but I suppose I would buy low on this news if I could. Tricky player and team.

It could still all work out ok.

It was all trending so positively - don’t blame you. Hopefully he’s back soon.

 

[travdogg]

I moved him to WR10 on my board for my draft tomorrow. 2/3 turn area overall. Too much of a downgrade?

 

[irish eyes]

This will go on all season long. So glad I traded Davonte instead of Kupp, not! Exactly why I should stop playing this game.

Maybe not enough of a downgrade. I wouldn't touch him now.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Probably right. More risk now, still high potential reward.

 

[Ray Barboni]

I’m completely OUT on Kupp this year. Super thankful this “setback” came when it did.

Had my doubts that he would stay healthy this year, thus confirms it. Add in the Stafford questions and overall offense of the Ram’s? Yea, it’s an easy out on Kupp, and Akers.

 

[travdogg]

Really you'd be out completely? I mean, chances are any lower, and he may as well not be on the board, but not at all?

I moved him to WR10 on my board for my draft tomorrow. 2/3 turn area overall. Too much of a downgrade?

Probably right. More risk now, still high potential reward.

I keep coming back to guys like Waddle/Olave/Smith and thinking I'd rather have say 13 games from Kupp than 16 from them. But I feel like I can't say that about Amon-Ra or Wilson.

I feel like someone in every league will probably still have him as a top-15 overall player though.

I’ll be fine if he misses 1-3 games. More than that will be a challenge.

It sounds like week 1 is in doubt but week 2 is on the table. Guess one setback can’t give you warm and fuzzies it can’t happen again. He could also come back Week 2 and lead the league in the WR triple crown.

Certainly possible.

If you had to bet $100 on that happening, what odds would you expect to get?

I said “could” because he’s done it before. Wasn’t really willing to bet on it happening.

Wow. Yet to draft. I'm out in round 1.

I just looked at my redraft league and I play the guy that drafted Kupp, so I feel like I got enough luck from the situation already.

Sample of WRs since 2018 who averaged 10+ PPR ppg and suffered a repeat hamstring injurySample went on to miss an average of 1.55 additional weeks

 

[Deamon]

Apparently day to day and should be ready for week 1 in 10 days.

 

[Ilov80s]

Who said ready for week 1?

 

[Deamon]

Apparently day to day and should be ready for week 1 in 10 days.

Who said ready for week 1?

No one said for sure.

Rams HC Sean McVay said Cooper Kupp suffered a setback and is day-to-day with a muscle strain.

The Rams have 10 days until the start of the season, which should be enough time for Kupp to ready up for Week 1.

 

[cockroach]

I pulled him from my week 1 lineup. Why even pretend.

Ok, was just hoping maybe some insider or something hinted at him being ready. I want to be optimistic.

Oh I’m just seeing what odds you’d give it. Wasn’t saying you had to - just a hypothetical in furtherance of the discussion.

 

[Deamon]

Would you guys rank Diggs over him now in PPR? Drafting tonight and likely will be choosing between them 2 (or lamb or bijan but full ppr and start 3 wr)

 

[Loipz]

Definitely and I’m absolutely coping on Kupp being back in week 2 the latest..

 

[irish eyes]

Absolutely Diggs & Lamb over Kupp.

 

[Dez]

Went between 9-12 in the 3 late drafts I seen. My favorite draft of the year I took Kupp at 4 over Tyreek because I had just taken 3 straight Tyreek's and they all say don't put all your eggs in 1 basket and it turns out that draft was my favorite so ya that blows. Maybe Kupp crushes at the end though you never know.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Would you guys rank Diggs over him now in PPR? Drafting tonight and likely will be choosing between them 2 (or lamb or bijan but full ppr and start 3 wr)

Yes. I had Diggs just behind Kupp in my PPR rankings. With the injury to Kupp, Diggs definitely jumps ahead of him for me.

 

[Dez]

Kupp just went pick 16 in my current NFFC

 

[SayWhat?]

Going to be a league winner as a 2nd round pick. I don’t own Kupp anywhere, and would do cartwheels to land him in the 2nd. Hamstring be damned.

who did the guy take round 1?

I feel like round 2 is probably right. There is certainly massive upside but it's pretty easy to see how things don't work this year.

The range of outcomes is much wider than it was yesterday. All comes down to how much risk you can live with for a shot at 2021 Kupp or something close to it.

Diggs

 

[Smack Tripper]

73 of my 260 dollar budget in guillotine

luckily someone dropped 60 on Taylor so hopefully I can slide for a week

I’d probably take him in the 2nd. I only wish this setback had happened a week ago so I could have benefitted from it then. I have 1 last draft coming up. 10 team league. mid 2nd would be solid. Definitely league-winning upside.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kupp just went pick 16 in my current NFFC

Wow. He’s gone 6th-7th in every one I’ve done. That’s a sizable drop for that format.

 

[Judge Smails]

Gonna be interesting to see how far he drops and how long he’s out. Still think people won’t be anole to resist in round 2.

 

[Payne]

In fairness to you, they’re only one year apart age wise and Kupp is the superior fantasy WR when healthy. But healthy he has not been so far this offseason.

I would prefer Diggs. Why? Better team. Less likely to be shutdown. Better QB. Especially now with this lingering injury.

I like drafting guys I feel will be playing for something at the end of the year. Think that often goes overlooked.

 

[Keith1]

Kupp went 17 in my local 0.5 PPR league last night (after news had dropped).

McVay: “It’s just tricky. There’s a difference between ‘return to play’ and ‘return to performance’. We want ‘return to performance’ for Cooper Kupp, and we know how special of a player, how special of a person he is. We want to make sure that we’re smart with that and getting him back to feeling like the Cooper Kupp that we all know — and that he is able to play the way he is capable of, whenever that is. Whether that’s Sept. 10 or not, we’ll continue to monitor that and control what we can control.”

[travdogg]

Kupp went 6th in my draft last night, as the 3rd WR off the board. It was a bit of an odd draft as it was more RB heavy at the top as WRs went:

1. Jefferson
5. Chase
6. Kupp
7. Hill
14. Adams
15. Lamb
16. Diggs
18. AJ
20. Amon-Ra
22. Waddle
23. Wilson
24. Olave

 

[LionOfGosforth]

Took him at 14 in my 10-teamer last night, hadn't read the setback news. Went Chubb/Kupp with my first two. Could have had Diggs or Lamb, with hindsight, probably would have done that instead. Oh well, didn't know at the time. Hope's he's good to go by week 2 at the latest.

Sounds like the guy at 6 didnt read the news.

He did, he said he had Kupp #1 overall before the news. Cited his potential for 12-15 weekly targets. Not what I would have done but can't say it was someone asleep at the wheel at least.

That team started WR-WR-WR, and that's how you end up with Najee Harris as your RB1.

2. Mahomes, this owner has taken Mahomes in the 1st round every year since 2019. He's never busted, unlike a lot of 1st rounders, but its not what I would do.
21. Allen
25. Hurts
31. Lamar
39. Fields
41. Burrow
59. Herbert
73. Lawrence

I don't disagree but too often it feels like your opponent beats you with someone they got off waivers in Week 13 playing for a team with nothing to play for.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kupp range in 25 NFFC drafts yesterday was pick 4 to 23

That's a hell of a range.

I can't see taking Kupp over Eke, CMC, or Chase at 4 given the circumstances.

25? Sign me up, though not without concern. It's a HUGE upside play, but we've all seen situations like this linger/recur all season with players in the past. And even worse, if the Rams come out flat to a terrible start, what will the incentive be to rush him back?

I am drafting Monday in a 10-team "friends and their kids" league - I'll likely let someone else draft him.
