ajs723 3,203 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 5 minutes ago, BGDDYKWL said: You're right about the targets, the overthrow, and the drop, but the bottom line is production, and right now he's the WR23. And that's with no bye, others' injuries, and guys like Higgins, Fulghom, Patrick, etc. coming strong. It's way too early to be looking at WR rankings. Sure, he's WR23, but it's just too small of a sample. If Goff just hits him on that deep TD Sunday night, he's WR13 instead. Again, absolutely no reason to panic.

Foppatosakic 184 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm actually surprised with the amount of targets he's getting. We all though last half of last year was the demise of Kupp but he is still a huge part of this offense. Woods be damned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,811 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Better than Julio Jones, eh? Kupp is going to be a mid range WR3 in full ppr going forward in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FitzMagic 4,260 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Targets are there. He needs to just catch the balls like the endzone one he dropped last night. Also, Goff could be more accurate. Wide open deep ball that if he actually threw it accurately Kupp could have waltzed into the endzone. Instead, it was severely overthrown.

RunCMC 2,378 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Why is it always Woods on those jet sweeps ? Man do I hate that. Cheap + easy points to prop up his overall #'s . But the rush attempts, almost always never go to Kupp. He's still a YAC god , just wish for more targets is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,811 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Probably because Woods is quite a bit faster than Kupp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdko 1,147 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Anyone worried about this matchup against the Bears secondary? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Armed_Rodgery 73 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm benching Kupp today. He's been too TD dependant. Starting Hill, McLaurin and Lamb over him this week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryansm11 2,078 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I’m firing him up. I think he has a 10 catch game. Goff struggles without him. Goff has struggled badly against the bears. Expect McVay to run the ball a ton and dial up #10 constantly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mick 138 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm playing him today more out of necessity than anything but he should be good for at least 10 in full PPR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he blows up tomorrow Well honestly I'm just praying here lol, I need him to come through huge for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zen25 96 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Another disappointing week. Goff looks really bad with his passes. Kupp and Woods are losing touches even despite Higbee being out. Reynolds got more targets. I did not expect such a bad season with Rams WRs. RBBC has destroyed WR value also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On pace for 85 receptions and almost 1000 yards, despite a couple of clunkers. His role hasn't really changed. He's just been unlucky. Still would guess something like 90 catches,1100 yards, and 8 TDs by the end of the year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't overly concerned either but it's getting tougher with each week. You can watch teams and just tell if someone is considered a featured guy in the offense. Kupp is not. He's simply a cog now. That's what's most concerning to me. They have SO many people involved. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamkoza 72 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 schedule the rest of the way isnt too terrible and includes possible shootout games with sea (2), arz, we'll see but i think he had more good than bad rest of the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not about that though. It's about volume plain and simple. Rams don't trust Goff and can't pass the ball 45 times a game like they used too. Kupp was a cog in 2018 and he's a cog now -- difference is he's a piece in a much less rewarding fantasy machine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said, he's just been unlucky. It's absolutely a problem. Dude averaged 8.4 targets a game last year and is down to 7.3 this year. You're also using total targets to mask his volume problem. Rams haven't had their bye yet and Kupps been healthy. He ranks 23rd among WR's in targets per game. He's the type of receiver who needs to be a volume hog in order to return WR2 or WR1 volume.

He also just hasn't had many longer receptions this year, which is hurting him. I know he's not Marquise Brown, but he's a great YAC player and does run the occasional deep route. If he were getting 6 for 75 instead of 6 for 45 games, we'd be having a different conversation. I think those games are still coming. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I traded him a couple of weeks ago but agree with your take that he's been a bit unlucky. He's not gonna come too close to his stats from last year but still a good option in the WR2/3 zone 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
