Here’s our expert outlook and rankings for Cooper Kupp.
What else is there to say about Cooper Kupp’s historic 2021 campaign? The guy was essentially lapping the other wide receivers, finishing No. 1 overall in points per game, receiving yards (1,947), and target share (31%) with over 200 targets total in 21 games played.
New quarterback Matthew Stafford elevated Kupp back inside the top five fantasy WRs — as he previously was in 2019. Stafford’s arrival in L.A. was the code to cracking Kupp’s untapped potential, especially with touchdowns.
After catching just three the year prior, Kupp led the league with 16 TD scores — a feat that has happened only six times since 2007.
However, regression will also certainly hit Kupp’s production in 2022, just because it’s near impossible for him to repeat his once-in-a-lifetime production. Of the five WRs that caught at least 16 touchdowns, they averaged just 6.6 TDs the following season. Only two (Davante Adams and Randy Moss) were able to haul in double-digit scores.
