News: 16 hours agoKupp caught two of three targets for 35 yards in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.

Spin: Kupp turned the tide with a spectacular one-handed grab for 24 yards in the third quarter while the Seahawks trailed 10-0. He thought he had a seven-yard touchdown three plays later, but the scoring play was nullified by an illegal shift penalty. Seattle would settle for a field goal to kickstart a 13-0 run to end the game. Kupp finished a distant second in receiving yards behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 122, which could be a preview of the team's pecking order in the passing game all season. Sam Darnold (hip) exited in the first quarter of Wednesday's win, and Drew Lock is likely to be Seattle's starting QB in Week 2 against the Cardinals while Darnold's on the mend.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kupp heads into his age-33 season positioned for situational targets in Seattle's run-first offense. The longtime Rams slot man appeared in 16 games for Seattle in 2025 -- his first season with the team -- and was limited to a career-low 16% target share. Kupp was a nonfactor in fantasy, clearing 12.0 fantasy points only once (16.0 in Week 2). The veteran remains a reliable short-range target, but his ceiling is very low with Jaxon Smith-Njigba soaking up a huge share of the targets and the likes of Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton also in the mix. Kupp is an unexciting late-round pick.
