Trends


"A third-round pick in 2023, Downs has emerged as a quality short-range/slot target, but that has yet to allow consistent fantasy output. The Colts' QB play has been an issue, as in seven full games with Anthony Richardson, Downs averaged 5.9 targets and 10.7 fantasy points per game, but in seven outings with Joe Flacco, he averaged 9.4 targets and 15.5 PPG. Downs, same as other Colts receivers, has struggled to produce with Richardson under center and it's no sure bet he'll be better if Daniel Jones wins the job. Downs is a good player, so he's worth late-round consideration, but the team's QB uncertainty will make him tough to plug into your lineup."


"The catches and targets were season highs for Downs, who led the Colts in receiving in Week 18, while the yardage total was his second-highest of 2024. The second-year wideout saw a modest increase on his rookie production, posting a 72-803-5 line on 107 targets over 14 games this year, and while he flashed his talent on a consistent basis, his ceiling was limited by the erratic quarterbacking of Anthony Richardson (back). Downs could have a true breakout in 2025, but it would likely require Richardson to take a big step forward as well."

"Kupp signed with Seattle after spending his first eight NFL seasons with the division rival Rams. He has been an elite fantasy contributor in years past (he was No. 1 in PPG in both 2021 and 2022), but durability has been an issue (two full seasons in his career and exactly five missed games each of the past two years) and he's now 32 years old. Kupp remained a good fantasy contributor during most of last season (18.4 PPG in his first nine games), but it's concerning how quickly he faded down the stretch (4.9 PPG in his final five outings). Perhaps Kupp has one more big season left, and there are plenty of targets available opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but there is certainly risk here. He's best viewed as a flex."


"Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, it's a three-year deal for Kupp, who spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Rams. Kupp will join a receiving corps that moved on from DK Metcalf (traded to the Steelers) and Tyler Lockett (released) this offseason, meaning he'll be working with third-year pro Jaxon Smith-Njigba and veteran vertical threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling in an offense led by new QB Sam Darnold. Since his standout 145-1,947-16 performance on 191 targets in 2021, Kupp hasn't surpassed 75 catches, 812 yards or six touchdowns in any of the ensuing three campaigns while missing 18 regular-season contests during that span."

Cooper Kupp's target share has decreased by 55.89% over the past 6 weeks.

Cooper Kupp's receiving yards have decreased by 68.64% over the past 6 weeks.

Cooper Kupp's targets have decreased by 64.0% over the past 6 weeks.

Cooper Kupp's receptions have decreased by 75.0% over the past 6 weeks.

Cooper Kupp's receiving touchdowns have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 10 weeks.
