RotoWire NFL Articles on Cooper Kupp
From the article
After functioning as the primary WR2 for Seattle last year, Cooper Kupp is on the verge of disappearing entirely. Now 33, last year's box score of 593 yards and two touchdowns is probably the best-case scenario for 2026.
STACKED’s take
Kupp's role shrinking; Shaheed and Arroyo limit his 2026 upside.
Kupp's UD ADP of 209.3 is too high; at age 33, the source argues last year's 593 yards and two touchdowns is probably the best-case scenario for 2026, and it can get worse. After functioning as Seattle's primary WR2 last year, Kupp is on the verge of disappearing entirely. Rashid Shaheed will be featured more in 2026 than he was as an in-season trade pickup from New Orleans, likely taking the boundary rep opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba in two-wide formations, leaving Kupp unlikely to see playing time outside three-wide sets and obvious running situations. If 2025 second-round tight end Elijah Arroyo stays healthy, there's a chance Kupp is removed from the base Seattle offense entirely; Arroyo would offer a blocking upgrade over Kupp (his one remaining utility), giving Seattle reason to make a two-TE loadout their base formation. Kupp is likely to settle in as the third receiver in an offense that doesn't throw much and might feature one of the lowest slot rep counts league-wide. If Arroyo plays 500+ snaps, it's unclear how Kupp would reach the same volume.
