Outlook Cooper Kupp
Late-Round Value Beckons as Veteran Slot Receiver Avoids Retirement
Cooper Kupp enters his second season with Seattle, operating as the starting slot receiver alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed. While Kupp is no longer the high-volume centerpiece of his Rams days, he remains a key veteran presence for quarterback Sam Darnold. Last year, Kupp hauled in 49 receptions for 617 yards, and our models project a modest veteran role with 36 catches for 445 yards and three scores.
Fantasy managers are treating the 33-year-old as a late-round lottery ticket. Kupp’s ADP has remained stubbornly low, hovering around 229 after a brief, news-driven spike to the early 170s. At this bargain-basement cost, Kupp represents a low-risk, decent-value depth piece in PPR formats, especially with his recent confirmation that retirement isn't on his radar.
Currently rostered in 43% of leagues, Kupp's path to fantasy relevance relies on high-efficiency slot work. He won't carry your roster, but his steady route participation makes him a viable bench depth option. He is a cheap bet on pure talent in the double-digit rounds.

Outlook Kyle Monangai
Emerging Backup Offers High-Value Standalone Potential in Chicago's Rising Offense
He is the secondary back behind D'Andre Swift in an exciting Chicago offense that teammate Rome Odunze recently praised. Despite playing behind Swift, our projections expect Monangai to carve out a meaningful chunk of the ground game, anticipating 175 rush attempts for 789 yards and six touchdowns.
Over the past six weeks, Monangai's ADP has drifted from 71 down to 80. This slight slide in his draft cost makes him an attractive target in PPR formats. Rather than a falling asset, we view him as a prime value selection who can offer standalone utility while serving as an elite backup.
Firmly entrenched ahead of Roschon Johnson, he faces little threat for the secondary touches. While he caught 19 passes last year, we project 23 receptions on 30 targets. With a high roster rate near 78%, managers clearly value him as a high-upside bench stash.
