2023 Fantasy Outlook
Consider it close to incredible that Kupp approached his 2021 numbers in 2022 even as the rest of the Rams' offense cratered around him. The per-target efficiency took a step back, to be fair, but he averaged 10.9 targets, 8.3 catches and 90.2 yards per game with a 76.5 percent catch rate before a high-ankle sprain in mid-November cut his season short. If you exclude the game in which he suffered that injury, Kupp's 2022 numbers look even more similar to 2021, with 101.6 receiving yards per game and six TDs in eight appearances. His rehab timeline was estimated at 6-8 weeks after the season-ending surgery, and Kupp could be cleared for spring practices after he gave a positive update in January. There's not much chance of the Rams returning to their 2021 Super Bowl glory after a rough offseason marked by key losses on defense and no major additions on either side of the ball, but the offense should at least rebound to some extent if only due to the unlikelihood of suffering so many crucial injuries in one season (QB Matthew Stafford and numerous offensive linemen also failed to stay healthy in 2022). Even in the event the team-wide struggles continue, Kupp is essentially a lock for double-digit targets per game -- something that can only be said of one other wideout, Minnesota's Justin Jefferson.

Kupp caught six of eight targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout salvaged his day with a three-yard TD strike from Matthew Stafford late in the fourth quarter, as the Rams broke open what had been a close game to that point. Kupp hasn't reached 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 6, which was also the last time he'd gotten into the end zone, and the injuries the 30-year-old has battled the last couple years seem to have taken their toll. He'll have a hard time breaking out in Week 14 against the Ravens.

Kupp became the second receiver in NFL history to catch 145 passes in a season, the second to reach 1,900 yards, the fourth in the last 55 years to win the triple crown and the eighth to win Super Bowl MVP. He did all that in one season, breaking out at 28 after being a fourth- or fifth- round pick in fantasy leagues. The question now is whether he can live up to the new price in Round 1. The argument against him, apart from regression to the mean, centers around Kupp's pre-2021 profile (that of a good player, not a dominant one). While concerns about his 4.62 40 or small-school college career are distant memories, Kupp's mediocre 2020 stat line isn't. A QB upgrade from Jared Goff to Matthew Stafford was a big part of the story, but Kupp himself took a huge step forward. His catch rate (75.9 percent) was a career high, and 10.2 YPT was his most for a full season by a full yard. To post those efficiency numbers while being targeted on 31.3 percent of routes (third highest among WRs) is impressive, to say the least. Also impressive? Leading the league in YAC (894) whilst ranking second in completed air yards (1,051). Or, leading the league in yards from out routes (296) and also placing second on crossing routes (346) and third on posts (258). Kupp has coach/QB stability, playing in a Sean McVay offense that annually ranks top 10 (and usually top 5) in neutral-situation pace and pass rate. If nothing else, Kupp is set up nicely for the second-best season of his career.
Like the rest of the Rams offense, Kupp dropped off in 2020, with by far the lowest per-play outputs (10.6 YPC, 7.9 YPT) of his career. He scored only three touchdowns, had only 12 catches of 20-plus yards and two for 40-plus after racking up four in 2019. At 6-2, 208, Kupp has good size for a slot receiver, and while he has poor timed speed (4.62 40), he’s quick, shifty and knows how to get open. Kupp was a frequent red-zone target in past seasons, but his opportunities dropped last year as the Rams frequently failed to move the ball. That said, Kupp has proved to be an efficient and effective NFL receiver under good conditions, and conditions should get better after the Rams acquired Matthew Stafford, a significant upgrade from Jared Goff. Stafford should thrive in coach Sean McVay’s system, with the help of young running back Cam Akers. Robert Woods is still around, and second-year man Van Jefferson could increase his role, but Kupp is the team's best wideout and should see significant target share in an improved offense.
Fading Kupp last year off a Week 10 torn ACL in 2018 was understandable, but it also ended up being a mistake, especially in last season's first half when you'd expect him merely to be getting up to speed. Through eight games, Kupp went 87-58-792-5, numbers that prorate to 174-116-1,584-10. He fell well short of that as the schedule got tougher, and he was shut out in Week 10, but he caught at least four passes in six of the last eight games and finished the year on a five-game TD streak. At 6-2, 208, Kupp has good size for a slot receiver, and he's quick and shifty despite having poor timed speed (4.62 40). He saw a good deal of his targets near the goal line - 21 from inside the 20 (T-5th) and 10 from inside the 10 (T-5th). And for the third year in a row, Kupp was highly efficient for a slot man - 8.7 YPT, 12.4 YPC, 21 catches of 20-plus (T-4th) and four for 40-plus yards. Kupp will come into 2020 healthy, and with Brandin Cooks now in Houston, could see an even larger target share. The Rams drafted Van Jefferson in the second round and still have Josh Reynolds on the roster, but Kupp and Robert Woods are the clear top options.
Before he sprained his MCL in Week 6, Kupp had put up a 40-30-438-5 line through five games, numbers that prorate to 128-96-1,402-16 over a full year. He returned Week 9 and went 6-5-89-1 before tearing his ACL in Week 10 and missing the rest of the year. While it's unlikely even a healthy Kupp would have sustained his lofty pace, he was the most productive of the Rams wideouts when he played, and his per-play efficiency has been off the charts for a slot receiver - 9.2 YPT in 2017, 10.3 last year - ever since he came into the league. At 6-2, 208, Kupp has good size but poor timed speed (4.62 40 at the combine). He's an excellent route runner, huge for a slot man, has good hands (only two drops) and a knack for getting open. He's also a frequent red-zone target - 23 looks from inside the 20 as a rookie and another 13 last year in only eight games, i.e., his six TDs in half a season were no accident. Of course, Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods aren't going anywhere, but there's plenty to go around in a top passing game with little depth beyond the big three and scant contributions from the tight ends. Kupp's ACL recovery is on schedule, allowing for participation at the outset of training camp.
Three receivers were taken in the top 10 of the 2017 draft and three more in the second round, but it was Kupp, a third-rounder, who led the class in catches and finished second in yards and TDs. At 6-2, 205, Kupp has good size but below-average speed (4.62 40 at the combine). He largely played out of the slot where his strong route running, unusual size for the position, good hands and high football IQ helped him find open spaces and make plays. It also helped to have offensive wizard Sean McVay calling plays and scheming him open. Accordingly, Kupp put up astoundingly efficient numbers for a slot man - 9.2 YPT and 14.0 YPC. His five touchdowns were disappointing given his 23 red-zone targets (T-2nd), though only seven of those looks were from inside the 10. In 2018, Kupp should largely reprise last year's role, though newly acquired Brandin Cooks likely will see more passes than the departed Sammy Watkins. Whether that cuts into Kupp's or Robert Woods' targets remains to be seen.
Kupp capped off his four years at Eastern Washington as the Division I leader in career receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. He also silenced concerns about the level of competition he faced in college with monster games against Washington State and Oregon (27 receptions for 452 yards and six touchdowns combined) over his final two seasons. However, his athleticism and ability to succeed as an outside receiver at the NFL level are in question. Kupp ran a mediocre 4.62 40-yard dash at the combine and primarily lined up out of the slot at Eastern Washington. While he's a natural pass catcher with a competitive edge, he'll be hard-pressed to carve out a role immediately following the acquisition of Sammy Watkins, creating a clear-cut top trio of wideouts along with Robert Woods and Tavon Austin.
