Cooper Kupp - Week 10 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoLos Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has double-digit fantasy points in every game this season, and that's unlikely to change in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are 25th in DVOA against the pass this season, and they have a beat up secondary with just about every starter currently on the injury report. Kupp leads the team in targets and he's seen double-digit targets in all but one game this season, with the lone exception being the team's blowout win over the Houston Texans when the team let off of the gas early. Kupp is the definition of a must-start, elite WR1 in 2021.

Cooper Kupp Asking For $15 Million Per Year
2 weeks agoFree-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been asking for as much as $15 million per year on the open market, sources tell The Athletic's Jeff Howe. However, Howe writes that it sounds as though the former Los Angeles Rams wideout would take less for a preferred destination -- it's been reported that he'd like to stay on the West Coast. The 31-year-old doesn't want a long, drawn-out free-agent process and should pick a new team sooner than later, with it being reported that at least five teams are interested. The Jacksonville Jaguars are not one of those teams, but the receiver-needy New England Patriots have reached out. It has also been reported that the Dallas Cowboys are interested, although they aren't considered the front-runners. Kupp has lost a step or two due to lower-body injuries in recent seasons, but the former Pro Bowler could still have fantasy value in the right situation.

Cowboys Not Considered Favorites For Cooper Kupp
2 weeks agoThe Dallas Cowboys are reportedly making a push to sign free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp. At first glance, the Cowboys seemed to emerge as favorites considering they have the cap space and need for a standout wideout such as Kupp. Despite that, the Cowboys are not being considered the likely landing spot for the All-Pro receiver. There have been a handful of teams mentioned to be in the mix for Kupp such as the Saints, Jaguars, Seahawks, and Broncos. It doesn't sound like Kupp wants to draw out this process, so he should decide relatively soon. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but is still an above average receiver when healthy. The combination of CeeDee Lamb and Kupp in Dallas is a nice thought on paper, but doesn't seem extremely likely to happen right now.

Cowboys Making Push For Cooper Kupp
2 weeks agoThe Dallas Cowboys are reportedly making a push to sign free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp. The 31-year-old wideout was recently released by the Los Angeles Rams after the team failed to find a trade partner for him. The Cowboys have over $40 million in cap space and a need for a No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb. There is likely going to be plenty of teams in the mix for Kupp, but the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks seem like the favorites. Last season, Kupp hauled in 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns across 12 games with the Rams. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but he can still be a viable option in plenty of offenses.

Jaguars Not Interested In Cooper Kupp, Whose Price Is "Insane"
2 weeks agoDespite reports that have connected free-agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources have told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that the Jaguars are not interested. Sources also tell Schultz that the sense around the NFL is that the former Los Angeles Rams wideout doesn't plan on having a drawn-out free-agent process and prefers to make his decision quickly. The 31-year-old veteran reportedly has interest from at least five teams, with the Boston Sports Journal's Mike Giardi saying that the New England Patriots are one of those teams. It's believed that Kupp prefers to stay on the West Coast, though, and a league source told Giardi that Kupp's current asking price is "insane" compared to where he's at in his career. The former third-rounder can still play a key role on offense, but serious lower-body injuries in recent seasons have sapped him of the elite athleticism that helped him earn the NFL's receiving Triple Crown in 2021.
