Cooper Kupp 2025 Fantasy Outlook

Before we talk about his fit with the Seahawks, we have to look at Kupp's decline in the last seasons with the RAMs.

By Warren Sharp

cooper KuppThe decline in recent years has been both visible and measurable.

And it was massive.

According to the Player pursuit of ESPN, able to become “open” in the past four years: “Open”:

2021: #15 of 160
2022: #71 of 150
2023: #102 of 153
2024: #141 of 159

Kupp classified #11 Out 11 Rams Passing Catchers in the success rate last year.

He won only 4.0 meters after the catch, which was #9 of 11 on the Rams last year.

His 4.0 YAC was a career low and followed a downward trend:

2021: 5.8
2022: 5.5
2023: 5.4
2024: 4.0

Finally, 72 of his 100 total goals came from the Scrimmage line within 10 meters.

But his fan rate for these shorter goals has decreased massively over the years:

2020: 80%
2021: 80%
2022: 87%
2023: 69%
2024: 71%

His success rate in 2024 of only 35% was also a career low and part of a large trend.

Check out his success rate (and rank between WRS) since 2020 on destinations of less than 10 meters:

2021: 57% (#14 of 59)
2022: 56% (#17 of 60)
2023: 46% (#34 of 57)
2024: 35% (#57 of 59)

The statistics support the Augentest, whereby Kupp looks noticeably less effective in 2024.

On the other hand of these arguments, Kupp won goals last season, even if Puka Nacua Was in the field with him.

With 243 pass games with Kupp and Nacua in the field last season, the Nacua received a massive target rate of 37.7% per route, but Kupp was still aimed at 24.2% of its routes on these snapshots.

This target rate would have taken the 21st place among qualified recipients last season, and that was with Kupp as No. 2 option, albeit in a concentrated crime.

And while Kupp was worse after the catch and had been trendy for a few seasons, he still took the 47th under 103 qualified recipients in YAC Pro reception.

His depth of the goal helps him in this statistics, but the next gene statistics still had him something about YAC expectation per catch.

There is hardly any doubt that Kupp has stepped down a step, but he has attributed this step to a fairly high summit.

A Adam Thielen With the Panthersart of Fantasy Existence, Kupp was not questioned in 2025, since the Seahawks outside the Jaxon Smith-Njigba On the deep card.

This is not a high fantasy role, especially if Smith-Njigba may be in operation in a criminal offense in the same areas of the field Clit Cubiac.

Nevertheless, Kupp lands in a weak deep card and receives good money.

It is fair to expect a solid proportion of goals for him if he is healthy.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba 2025 Fantasy Outlook

As for Jaxon Smith-NjigbaThis signing is interesting, which probably says about how the new offensive staff wants to use him this season.

In two years, Smith-Njigba played 73.3% of his snapshots in the slot and achieved an average of 7.63 air centers per finish.

That was up to 8.66 Air Yards per finish last season, but that was still 83 among qualified recipients, only a few places in front of them cooper Kupp.

Kupp played 63.2% of his snapshots from the slot last year and has been 60.2% of his snapshots in the last five seasons.

We also have the question of the scheme about New Oc Clit Cubiac 11 employees last season with only 33.3% of the offensive snaps of New Orleans, the second lowest rate of the league.

The saints had massive injury problems with the recipient, but Kubiak comes from the Shanahan Coaching Tree, and both the 49s and the dolphins ended in the lower five of 11 staff consumption last year.

In view of the place where Kupp is in his career and what we could expect in terms of the formations in Seattle, Smith-Njigba is probably asked to win more from the outside in his third season.

That could open more fantasy upward trend per finish -JSN was the 24th place among the qualified recipients in fantasy points per finish last season -but it could also put it in a less comfortable position.

Smith-Njigba took 26th place in Yards Pro Route among the qualified recipients last season, which runs off the slot from the slot.

He took the 65th place per route when he was lined up far.

Smith-Njigba took a big step forward in the second year, and it is reasonable to assume that he will continue to improve.

He was also a better recipient than Kupp last season, so it also makes sense to consider him number 1 in this situation.

But there are fit questions here, and Kupp offers a much more theoretical target competition than a rookie in the middle of the middle.

Ultimately, this is a hit for Smith-Njigbas Fantasy projection for 2025.
