Summary
Cooper Kupp carries a 79.0 dynasty score, ranking 79 at WR. Kupp’s 593 receiving yards and 47 receptions in 16 games indicate a solid foundation, but his 66th percentile production grade suggests a slight decline in production compared to his past self. At 32 years old and with 2 years remaining on his contract, Kupp’s production trajectory is expected to continue.
Projection Rationale
Kupp’s 47 receptions and 593 receiving yards in 16 games suggest a solid foundation for production. However, his efficiency grade indicates room for improvement in his target share and yards per route run. Kupp has 2 years remaining on his contract, which should provide stability in his role.
Injury Risk
Kupp has a history of injury, including limited participation in practice in Weeks 20, 21, and 17. His 78th percentile durability grade and 32 years old indicate a moderate risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Kupp’s snap share percentage trended down from 88.0% in Week 1 to 69.0% in Week 14, but his role should remain secure with 2 years remaining on his contract. There is no competition for Kupp’s role at the moment.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Brian Fleury coordinates a west coast offense with a 53.0% shotgun rate and 36.3% 12 personnel usage. This scheme should provide a favorable target share and yards per route run for Kupp. However, the team’s tendency to blitz may limit Kupp’s production in certain games.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Kupp’s 79.0 dynasty score and 78th percentile durability grade are consistent with a slight decline in production. His 66th percentile production grade and 48th percentile age trajectory grade indicate a potential decline in production due to age.
Ceiling / Floor
Kupp’s ceiling is WR3-WR5, and he must maintain his target share and yards per route run to reach this level. His floor is WR6-WR8, and he may struggle to produce if his role is reduced or his efficiency declines.
