Cooper Kupp AND Puka Nacua Owners...

[Fearsome 22]

What are your plans this week if Kupp returns from IR and starts? Are you benching Nacua? Are you keeping Kupp on the bench to see how the offense works with both in there? Or, are you rolling with it and starting both guys? Regardless of format.

[weepaws 3,158]

I would stick with Nacua for a few more games, Kupp needs to prove he can last a few games.  Imo. 

[SaintsInDome2006 402]

I'd love to trade for Kupp but regardless I'll be starting Puka until it's shown he isn't a major target anymore.

[jpcdds 26]

I’m gonna ride Puka. Until I see vintage Kupp, he (Nacua) may continue to be their #1. Cooper has battled the injury bug for a couple years now and even when he gets  healthy I don’t see why both can’t flourish with Stafford at QB. 

[kcBlitzkrieg 29]

Let's see Coop make it out on the practice field first.... 

[makindollaz 51]

If Kupp comes back, I’d start them both. As an Atwell owner, he’s the one I’m a little worried about.

[polecatt 474]

I have both on my dynasty team.

I put Kupp on IR to start the season. I picked up Nacua after week 1.

I also have Kyren WIlliams as one of my two starting RBs. So I don't plan on starting 3 players from the same team. I'm deep at WR, so it's not a big deal.

My biggest decision is which one to start?

Leaning towards Kupp right now, if he's cleared to play.

I haven't played Stafford over Geno, but have to this week with Geno on a Bye.  Not the best matchup at Home against Eagles.

Also starting for the 1st time, Nakua (have Adams and Diggs).  Hoping Kupp will only help Stafford, no idea if Nakua will see so many targets.

he also needs to get into game shape.

just because hes good enough to play doesnt mean he can take a full workload.  hes missed 4 weeks and some preseason time.

[LaChup 229]

I'd like to buy a vowel. Jeez.

Hasn’t played since week 9 of last season.  Was injured twice during camp, and saw a specialist.  Yea let’s see if he can handle the work load first.

Kupp, McLaurin, Nacua, London and Dell non-ppr (godwin and Elijah Moore on byes)

I think I'm leaning toward the first three this week, and hope at some point it becomes more clear who I should start week to week. 

[weepaws 3,158]

I wouldn’t keep Dell on the bench.  

[LaChup 229]

He is not a very big Dell.

Hard to justify sitting the other three for him

[Mike FF Today 721]

Kupp is playing. How much is still unknown...

I like Dell but his target share has plummeted in recent weeks. It’s the Nico Collins show for now

If Dell produces more then 4.9 points then I would be right.  If you’re talking about his target share last week I agree, but going into last week he’s had 12 targets the previous two games.  So if he scores less non ppr points  then all three of those others I’ll be wrong.  

Thanks

Dell had low targets against pittsburgh because they blew them out. They didn't need to throw. 2 games ago dude had 145 receiving yards.

I don’t believe that’s accurate as it’s a percentage share issue vs raw targets.

But hey, I hope I’m wrong and he goes off on my bench

[polecatt 474]

Cooper Kupp has been activated from IR according to ESPN

[Chickie 74]

Does having both Kupp and Nacua in the same lineup at the same time make Stafford a routine QB1?

[weepaws 3,158]

Doesn’t hurt.

yeah, if hes not its gonna be close.

at the very least he should be rostered as a nice high end backup

[Health Department 8]

I have Davante Adams, Puka, Pollard, Ky Williams, Kamara (flex) starting and Kupp on the bench right now. I have to decide if Kupp will be limited his first game back.

[DrG 102]

A limited Kupp may still runneth over

[weepaws 3,158]

Is Adams a full go? He’s missed practice on Thursday and Friday.

They say he is questionable for Monday, limited practice Saturday, game is Monday vs GB

Just in case you were wondering I benched Ky Williams moved Kamara to 2nd RB and inserted Kupp to flex.

[polecatt 474]

So much for him being rusty or limited.

5 catches for 56 yards in the 1st quarter

Yeah, both of them had good games.

I hindsight, should have started them both. They were my two highest scoring WRs today unless Ceedee Lamb has big 2nd half, which he probably won't.
