It sounds like WR Cooper Kupp is making waves early on this offseason now that he’s fully healthy heading into training camp. Since his earth-shattering 2021 season, Father Time has cashed a few checks in Kupp’s name that have cost him 13 starts over the past two seasons. The emergence of Puka Nacua and the aforementioned Kyren Williams resulted in six-year lows for Kupp in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in 2023, casting a cloud over his future as he enters his age 31 season. However, ‘so far, so good’ says Sarah Barhop, with Kupp reportedly standing out now that he’s back and fully healthy heading into training camp this year. Whether or not Kupp will be able to recapture his 2021 form remains to be seen, but at a mid-3rd round price tag in an quality offense that picked things up for their playoff run last year, he’ll have the opportunity to prove that he’s still got it for fantasy purposes in 2024. While fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate Kupp breaking the 150 target threshold, he was on pace for well over 100 targets in 2023 – a number that should be both easily attainable and more than enough to warrant consideration at his price.
