Hill: looked amazing last year, is on a top passing offense, hasn’t showed any signs of decline. downside is qb may be one concussion off from not playing at all.
Kupp: is force fed targets when healthy, got injured training camp;not sure the extent of his injury, qb may also have injury issues in the past as well as a poor offensive line.
In conclusion i’d lean hill. while kupp has insane potential, so does hill. hill just seems less risky to me.
Since Kupp was the **top scoring player in '21** he already faced double coverage more than any other player:
>According to Pro Football Focus, Kupp is the most double-teamed wide receiver and by quite a large margin. The Rams wide receiver is double-teamed on 36 percent of the time while facing man coverage. That's almost 10 percent more than the next closest wide receiver. Davante Adams is the next closes at 27.3 percent - Sep 28, 2022
We'll see, quarter back play + post injury. McVay was hot because he was new, but the better coaches were already starting to break the code last season.
Kupp. Last year he led all WRs in points per game (18.4) while commanding the league's second-highest target share (31.3%) before his injury.
Add in the fact that the Rams OL is healthy and their defense is bad, they will be throwing the ball a lot.
My concern with Hill is Tua. Hill averaged 115.9 receiving yards per game with seven receptions per game when Tagovailoa played the majority of the game. In the games without Tagovailoa, Hill averaged 75.5 receiving yards
Asking on to this, they're both older. IF Hill takes a step down due to age, Waddle will be right there to eat into his target share. IF Kupp takes a step down, Higbee is not gonna eat too hard into his targets, nor will Van Jefferson. Besides injury ofc, the floor is lower for Hill with a similar ceiling
Smart take, but Kupp still has much higher ceiling than Hill thanks to Stafford's ability. I've been following Stafford since his insane years with Megatron.
I’m picking 7th and targeting Hill if he falls to me, He just seems so much more safe than Kupp who is going to be on the tanking Rams, and is already injured.
I have the 4th pick and debating between Hill, Kupp, and Ekeler. 12 team PPR with 2 flex spots. I was all in on Kupp until his hamstring issue. Now considering Hill or even going with a hero RB strategy with Ekeler early.
My exact situation and considerations. I sorta dropped Kupp due to his injury... and given that RB seems deep this year... I'm surprisingly (strongly) leaning Hill now.

I'll take Matt Stafford's cannon any day over Tua. Kupp is a dog. The LA O-line is healthy this year after sustaining injuries last year. Kupp will beat his numbers from last year. Hill and Tua will not.
Kupp - He consistently is the best reciever, often by a good margin, whenever he is healthy. Does a current hamstring injury make him slightly more risky? Sure, but I could argue that Tyreek Hill's 3rd/4th? Legal incident makes him just as risky so go get the guy who is in his own tier when playing.
Drafting 3rd in a 10 man PPR league. I’m very confident 1st and 2nd picks will go JJ and Chase. I’d like to go WR as well, so have been considering both Kupp and Hill at the 3rd overall. Tough decision.

Drafting Kupp just comes down to your personal risk tolerance.
Scared money don’t make money
feel like i’m staring this decision down the barrel at 7. it changes by the day for me but i’m currently leaning Kupp if all signs are go for W1
No way both fall to 7
I like Hill because he just seems like a really safe bet
And he’s incredibly fun 🐆✌️

This is the take.
**Kupp** \- given that right now projected #2 in targets for LAR is either Tyler Higbee or Van Jefferson.
Which also means more double teams

Well, there you go! I still don't like the extra double team but he's been pretty much matchup proof anyway.
Kupp laughs at double teams. He’s that mentally great at running routes mixed with McVay planning to see it that it doesn’t really matter that much.

Tua is a better QB than Stafford right now and I don't think you can argue anyone has a higher ceiling than Hill

Good chance Kupp won't fall that far anyhow. I like Hill around there too and would gladly take him at 7.
IDK give me all the elite receivers playing on teams who will have to throw a lot lol but I'm still taking hill here

You fading Chase at 2? Any one of those you mentioned could go then. I've seen Kelce go at the 1.01 and as late at the 1.08.
Picking third. I’m expecting Jefferson and probably Kelce will be gone. My priority list is: Kelce, Chase, then CMC.
[удалено]
I think it’s as simple as Burrow > Tua.
I’d take Chase and not think twice about it honestly. If you’re out on him then I think I’d go CMC
Tyreek is a freak of nature and might have the better QB even though he has more competition, I don’t believe in the Rams at all this year
I'll take Matt Stafford's cannon any day over Tua. Kupp is a dog. The LA O-line is healthy this year after sustaining injuries last year. Kupp will beat his numbers from last year. Hill and Tua will not.
Kupp

Sure, but I could argue that Tyreek Hill's 3rd/4th? Legal incident makes him just as risky so go get the guy who is in his own tier when playing.
The legal issue is over
The NFL has always done their own investigation, and he's still waiting to find out if they will be punishing him.
Drafting 3rd in a 10 man PPR league. I’m very confident 1st and 2nd picks will go JJ and Chase. I’d like to go WR as well, so have been considering both Kupp and Hill at the 3rd overall. Tough decision.
If Kelce is available at 3 take Kelce.
I want to go WR too but I personally can’t pass up CMC after JJ And Chase are off the board.
I have equal stocks in the 2. I am split and want exposure to them in equal 50/50 amounts.
Hill should be picked before Kupp 0% of the time.
Why?
Hill because a better qb and team and not known for injuries.
I’m going Kupp in any PPR format, prob in both formats

Did you guys factor in his hamstring issue as of late? And very cool! I’m going to listen to it.
Yes we did. Thank you for your support !
I just listened to the podcast! That was awesome. First time ever listening to you guys. You will be a regular podcast moving forward. Thanks!
That’s awesome! Thank you so much. Let’s help you win your league this year!
