Nope hes not shifty, and i dont play in a league that rewards return yards, and i just dont see him taking one to the house. This is just an unnecessary risk for your supposed wr1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vegemite2 76 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 What are peoples thoughts on this guy? Had a fairly high ADP, hasn’t had a great start to the year after tailing off last year too. My WRs have been decimated and I just bought low on him. Even with how he is scoring through 2 weeks he’s still my second best WR 😳 Any chance he gets back to business? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All indications were they were going to continue with that offense as well, seemed like a bad gamble to invest a 3rd in. Package and sell him now while his name value is high. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like people were just looking at his overall numbers from last year when drafting this year. Last season was a tale of two halves. Their offense changed a lot the last 8 games and Kupp suffered the most from this. Goff stopped forcing him the ball and he ended up being a borderline WR3. I ended up benching him in the playoffs he was so unreliable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,812 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Kupp thrived in the slot when opposing defenses had no choice but to load up to stop peak Todd Gurley, and they feared Cooks and Woods on the outside more. Now the Rams' offense looks a lot different. Kupp is playing on the outside more, facing off against no. 1 corners instead of linebackers. I am not at all sure he has the pure speed and athleticism to succeed out there long term. Good for Kupp that he signed a three-year, $48 million extension. But Snead gives out a lot of funny money, and there is no guarantee Kupp will be on this team to make it to the end of the contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First half of the year he was my favorite player.... then came the second half and he pretty much vanished. I relaxed at first but then panicked. It was nearly impossible to figure out his usage the second half of the year. IF I was a Kupp owner in 2020... I would probably try and capitalize on one of the games he goes off and get rid of him. He may become a top 10 receiver but you never know when they will have him running around as a decoy all game and getting 1 target. That is just my take on it Everybody every year forgets what happened down the stretch. With the rams, they couldn't block for ****, had more success with
