Wide receiver Cooper Kupp has established himself as a reliable possession in his rookie year, emerging as a favorite go-to weapon for Jared Godd. The third-round rookie has 56 catches for 783 yards and four touchdowns, showing off the playmaking skills that made him a star at FCS Eastern Washington.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 15: What to do with Cooper Kupp

Kupp has been even more impressive in recent weeks, filling in as the No. 2 receiver after Robert Woods went down with a shoulder injury. He had one of his best games last week, hauling in five catches for 118 yards and a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy impact: As a slot guy, Kupp is perhaps more valuable in PPR than standard leagues. Woods is also expected to make his return this week, rendering him more of a boom-or-bust WR3. He’ll look to get his revenge against the Seattle Seahawks, who held him in check back in Week 7 — Kupp had only three catches for 44 yards, and dropped what would’ve been the game-winning touchdown.
Kupp is definitely usable against a Seahawks defense ravaged by injuries, but if Woods is back, don’t be surprised if his numbers take a hit.
Recommendation: Start if you’re desperate
