JoeJoe88 706 Posted July 31, 2018 How do people feel about this dude in dynasty? Had a pretty solid rookie year and seemed to develop instant chemistry with Goff. In full PPR, I like his outlook, even with Cooks and Woods around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think McVay surprised the heck out of the league with a terrific scheme to get going, but the league eventually catches up.  Woods and Cooks are locked up long term. There's no point in the next 3 years that you can point to and say "here's where he starts getting 120 targets" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no point in the next 3 years that you can point to and say "here's where he starts getting 120 targets" 120 targets is a pretty high bar. Only a dozen guy went over 120 targets last season. I don't think anyone is expecting Kupp to be an every week WR1.  However, Kupp did play at a pace for over 100 targets last season. That's nothing to scoff at. Cooks is there now, but Watkins was there last year. As a security blanket/chain mover/slot receiver I don't think Kupp's role changes. What could change is his familiarity with the NFL, and his rapport with Goff. Most players improve from year 1 to year 2.  I think Kupp is an awesome value and would project him for about approximately 100 targets, 70 catches, 900 yards. The guy is also great redzone threat, so WR2 seems wholly within reach. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milesberg 54 Posted August 8, 2018 Kupp, barring major injury, has a permanent spot on my Dynasty team. He is basically the Rams version of Jordan Reed despite not getting classified as a TE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SharkSwimmer 3,677 Posted August 8, 2018 Woods and Cooks will each get a hefty number of targets. Â And Gurley is the centerpiece if this offense. Â I really like Kupp (Adam Thielen West?) but there are many mouths to feed in this passing offense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJJ28 958 Posted August 28, 2018 This guy is gonna be the Rams top WR for years to come. He established an immediate connection with Goff last year and all reports out of camp are great. He Is going to be the team's primary redzone receiving option. Played the last 8 games of the season at a 120 target 88-1100-6 pace. High end WR-2 this year no doubt. 80-1000-8 is well within reach. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 625 Posted August 28, 2018 Kupp’s college stats look pretty awesome, why isn’t he more highly regarded? Was he playing against weak competition? I really don’t know anything about college ball. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digitalpower35 41 Posted August 28, 2018 I’m surprised not a lot of love on this guy. I took him at 7th round and it might be a little bit of a reach but he has so much upsides. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's going to be a lot better than people think, and will be Goff's favorite target and he's the biggest end-zone receiver. While it's unlikely, it would not shock me if he scores double-digit TDs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
