Scouting report

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Things have taken a turn for Cooper Kupp the last few weeks. After being held without a catch two weeks ago, he was held to 3 catches for 24 yards last week. I would bet against him having a week like that again, but with Arizona being one of the prime matchups to attack on the ground, it's not out of the realm of possibility we see another low-volume passing game out of the Rams.

The Cardinals are 4th aFPA against wide receivers, so the matchup isn't ideal, but you didn't get to the championship to bench Kupp. He checks in as WR21 on the week and that keeps him in the WR2 conversation. I'd hope the floor isn't as low as it has been the last few weeks and leave him in my lineup.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New York Jets

To get the obvious out of the way, it is highly, highly unlikely that Cooper Kupp is held without a catch again. Between the rain and slow-paced slog of a game he only got 3 targets, but I think we can all safely assume he'll be back closer to double-digits in a better game environment against the Jets.

The Jets are 24th aFPA against wide receivers and have been much easier to pass on all season. Kupp is a middle-of-the-pack WR2 by the rankings, but between the matchup and better game environment, he could easily outperform that. Another easy click on the Rams.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at San Francisco 49ers

It looks like Puka Nacua has taken over the alpha role in the Rams passing attack, but that doesn't mean that Cooper Kupp isn't still an elite option. His efficiency last week still carried him to a big week as he saw 8 targets for 5 catches, 92 yards, and a touchdown against a solid Bills secondary.

The Rams passing attack is so concentrated that volume can sustain them in difficult matchups like last week. It should be noted the 49ers are 8th aFPA against wide receivers this season. While the role isn't what it was and the matchup is difficult, Kupp is still WR7 overall this week and an easy start this week.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs Buffalo Bills

It was a weird week for Cooper Kupp as Matthew Stafford only threw 24 passes. Kupp only had 6 targets and finished with 3 catches for 17 scoreless yards. Not exactly what you want to see when you're trying to make a fantasy playoff push.

The Bills are 11th aFPA against wide receivers, so it is another tough spot for Kupp and the Rams' passing game. Given the bye weeks, Kupp is a back-end WR1 this week. It's a little lower ceiling this week, but you're still starting Kupp if you got him.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

Cooper Kupp continues to out-project Puka Nacua. He seems to be getting more red-zone looks while the targets remain close to even. While Nacua (13) had more targets last week than Kupp (11), Kupp got in the end zone while Nacua did not.

The Saints are 20th aFPA against wide receivers but have fallen a bit as the weeks go on without Marcus Lattimore. Kupp remains an every-week WR1 and a must-start.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

A week after being doubled up on targets by Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp out-targeted Nacua and scored an extra touchdown to boot. Both Kupp and Nacua are going to go back and forth each week and will likely both be WR1's most weeks.

This is most weeks as Cooper Kupp, even against the #1 defense against wide receivers per aFPA, will be in the WR1 overall conversation. He's WR4 on the week and a must-start.

LAR WR Cooper Kupp - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New England Patriots

The Rams are in a great spot offensively when both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are healthy. Add in the healthy offensive line, and they have the potential for big weeks. Unfortunately for Kupp, when both he and Nacua are healthy, it looks like Nacua is more of the 1A and Kupp is the 1B. Nacua had 14 targets last week to Kupp's 7, but I wouldn't count on him doubling him up every week.

The Patriots are 16th aFPA against receivers this season, so it isn't a terrible matchup for the Rams passing game. Kupp is more likely to avoid Christian Gonzalez in the slot, but he'll see some of him. Whoever avoids Gonzalez more between him and Nacua will likely have the bigger game. Either way, Kupp is a WR1 this week and a must-start.
