What the Experts are Saying
Kupp is a top-five wide receiver weekly. Yes, Stafford has been terrible. Has it mattered to Kupp in fantasy land? No. He’s been the WR2, WR5, WR22, WR3, and WR5 in weekly scoring. He’s second in target share, second in receiving yards, and first in total touchdowns as the WR1 in fantasy. Matchups don’t matter for Kupp. He’s been listed as questionable this week after he popped up with a foot injury. If he plays, you start him.
