Cooper Kupp

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed tallied 5 receptions for 74 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Colts. All three numbers marked personal bests since he arrived in Seattle ahead of the Week 10 win over Arizona. Shaheed matched WR Cooper Kupp in targets and catches against Indy and beat him in yards. Both guys trailed WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba's lead in each category.

It was another low-volume outing for the Seahawks' pass offense, and Kupp was an afterthought behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as usual. Kupp was third in receiving yards behind JSN and Rasheed Shahid, who had 74 yards. Kupp, who has more than 50 receiving yards in just three games this season, profiles as a desperation second flex option for Week 16 against the Rams, his former team. He had 23 yards on three receptions the last time Seattle played the Rams.

This was, by far, Shaheed's best game as a member of the Seahawks. He had failed to find any semblance of a role in the offense since being traded to Seattle at the deadline. Shaheed had four catches for 37 yards in four games as a Seahawk leading into today's miniature breakout. Not only did he exceed those numbers versus Seattle, but he ouncayted the performance with a 100-yard kick return touchdown to open the second half. Shaheed still ran fewer routes than Cooper Kupp, but he is gaining ground at the right time. Shaheed will work his way into the WR5 ranks for Week 15 versus the Colts.

Kupp wasn't overly involved in this game. He logged a 10 percent target share despite running a route on just over 80 percent of Sam Darnold's dropbacks. Rashid Shaheed finally got going in this game, seeing five targets which he turned into 67 yards on four grabs. Kupp did make the most of his limited looks, with a 24-yard grab plus an 11-yard touchdown that came at the top of the fourth quarter. It was Kupp's second touchdown as a Seahawk. Despite the usable fantasy line, Kupp isn't seeing the ball enough to be worth a look ahead of Week 15, even in deeper leagues.

Kupp, who hasn't had more than three catches in a game since early October, is no longer a fantasy-viable player in the run-first Seattle offense. Jaxon Smith Njigba's domination of targets and air yards leaves precious little opportunity for everyone else in the Seattle passing game, including Kupp. He'll only be playable in deep leagues next week against the Falcons.
