Cooper Kupp’s Fantasy Outlook Ahead of Seahawks vs. Texans Week 7 Showdown

SEATTLE, Washington — The Seattle Seahawks prepare for a pivotal Week 7 matchup against the Houston Texans on Monday night. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who played a crucial role in the team’s recent 20-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, is a key player to watch.

Kupp recorded two receptions for 40 yards and scored his first touchdown of the season in last week’s game, showcasing his potential despite struggling to assert himself as a leading target. So far this season, Kupp has often taken a backseat to teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has emerged as quarterback Sam Darnold‘s second favorite option.

Facing a Houston defense that allows an average of 55.9 yards to WR2s, Kupp’s performance could be pivotal. Analysts suggest that while he may find success, his impact in fantasy football may be limited. One expert recommended keeping him on the bench unless managers are in a deeper league looking for flex options.

As the fantasy season intensifies, each player’s output carries significant weight. With Kupp’s current trajectory, many fantasy owners are cautiously optimistic but remain skeptical about his ability to deliver consistent points against the Texans’ formidable defense.

The upcoming game will be an interesting test for Kupp as he seeks to reclaim his standing as a fantasy football star.
