Matt Schauf labeled Cooper Kupp an easy avoid despite Seattle’s three-year, $45 million commitment. Los Angeles already signaled concern, slashing his targets from 9.1 per game post-ankle sprain to 3.4 over his final five outings, then cutting him and replacing him with Davante Adams. The landing spot doesn’t help: new OC Klint Kubiak has publicly promised a run-heavier Seahawks offense, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has established himself as the primary target earner, and Sam Darnold is penciled in at quarterback. At age 32—the point at which historical data shows receivers falling below 90% of peak output—Kupp faces the same cliff that saw Tyler Lockett’s production crater last year. Schauf concludes the veteran’s combination of declining usage, crowded target tree, scheme shift, and age-related risk makes him a poor investment at any meaningful fantasy price.
