Kupp or Jefferson?

Kupp: Mr. Dependable. You don't want your #1 pick to bust. Very stable. His quarterback and offense are in place and there’s no real reason to expect anything but a repeat.

Jefferson: Some think he's the best WR in the game right now. Better than Kupp this year.

Mid Rounders will be facing this choice vs. RBs like Harris or Cook possibly. Do you want stability or worry about the RB drop by the time it comes back to you?

Who ya got and why?

Kupp.

Jefferson still has Cousins as his QB.

Kupp seems destined to be the guy that had an anomaly season and is over drafted the following season.

If the Vikes offense is stepping into the modern age, I’ll take JJ with the uptick in volume

I agree with BigJ here. It’s close, but Kupp has some regression territory and Jets could have more real upside. I’ve thought about this a bit, and it depends on your preference. I’m probably going JJ > Kupp and see how it plays out.

Honestly i would rather be in the situation where Kupp is already drafted. Guy is great but I had him a couple years ago and he started off the season on a tear like last year. Then did diddly poo the rest of the season as teams locked in on him. Better qb now and didn’t slow down last year but still worries me. I know JJ is rock solid consistent with ridiculous ceiling.

Kupp.

He outscored Jefferson by 108 fantasy points last year. arguably had the best WR season of all time. He returns to the same team, with the same quarterback, with the same coach, and should play the exact same role…and we want to draft somebody else ahead of him?

For the note about increased passing for the Vikings- it’s not like they were the most run heavy team in the league last year. They passed the 11th most times in the league- one spot behind the rams.

Idk. Taking Jefferson over Kupp seems like fancy play syndrome to me

I’d say you can’t go away from Cupp until there’s a reason to do so. Dude was a cheat code last year and while there will likely be a regression, he still should be the clear #1

I had this very debate in the Fantasy Regulars draft and these reasons are why I went with Kupp

It would not shock me if JJ out-scored Kupp this year by any means, but I think Kupp is safer (with a higher ceiling)

Idk when a guy has an outlier year then everyone expects the same results the next year, typically it doesn’t work out.

I don’t think you can really go wrong either way barring injury, just saying I wouldn’t expect the huge scoring gap between the 2 again.

Allen Robinson is going to eat into Kupp’s target share big time though. Enough to where it is going to be impossible to come close to last year

Kupp had 100+ more targets than the next closest guy last year. If ya believe Arob gets ~125, that’ll cut into kupp

Kupp can still get 150 and go 100/1200/10 tho

Which puts him in WR6-WR7 territory

Not 1.3 & WR1 which he’s going in espn drafts

Not sure I buy all this ARob hype. Man was invisible last year. I get that the bears were terrible but Mooney outshined him significantly. On the other hand, Kupp honestly needs Arob to be decent to take some attention off him.

Yeah I was going to get into that. Especially some of the downfield stuff Kupp got last season that’s never really been his game

Robinson dealt with a hamstring last year


Robinson was a 1200yd WR with Trusbisky and Nick Foles in B2B years lol

Mooney had 74 more targets than Arob and they still only connected on 57% of them. QB play was terrible

Robinson is going to eat in that offense

The combination of woods/OBJ (two very good players in their own right) went 72/861/9 last year playing 2nd fiddle to Kupp. Had 117 targets to Kupp’s 191

Do we think ARob is going to overtake Kupp as the #1? They split the ~300 targets between them down the middle? Otherwise, I don’t think the math agrees with you

it's not far fetched to say ARob may out score Kupp.

He's currently going WR34 in ESPN leagues lol
