I’m sitting him, but it’s a 10-team league and I have a deep roster.

What are your options? Right now I am sitting him for Dell but feel a little queasy about it.

No way is he auto start. He has 99 yards on 9 freaking catches in last 4 games. He is now an injury waiting to happen on top of it. Trust me I have had to endure this turd & he screwed my season once again.
Counterpoint, healthy Kupp has 1 bad game (Pittsburgh in week 7) with healthy Stafford since week 3 of last season.
He's had an unlucky month. Stafford got hurt, then the Rypien game, then Kupp gets hurt coming out of the bye. He practiced all but 1 day (the least important day) and he went for 7-148-1 against this same Cardinals defense in week 6.
I'm looking at Kupp as a low-end WR1 this week.

But how do we know he’s healthy? That’s the problem.

My PPR options are Bijan Robinson going up against a tough New Orleans D and Chase who lost his QB.

That's a tough one. I think I would stick with Kupp, but Bijan is hard to bench. I'd wait and see how Chase (and the whole offense) does with the new QB before starting him, although I expect Chase will be better than people think. I recommend asking your question in the who should I start thread:

Thanks so much! I've narrowed it down between Kupp and Chase and will ask the question in who to start link you've provided.

What a downfall. Went from must start to can't start in no time.

In the hunt for a bye in the playoffs. This week I traded for Cooper, pulled R. Rice and sat him to play Cooper. Looking like I will lose within that margin.

Averaging 4.4 PPR PPG over the last 5 games. Kupp is (and has been) hurt.

Actually guys like Kupp fall of the cliff a lot after turning 30. See Julio Jones and A.J. Green.

Cooper "Glass" Kupp .... hoping he can get better for weeks 15-17, but not holding my breath,
depends what you mean by cliff, decline really happened over a couple years, if look at career stats both had injury impacted seasons but performance those years was decent when they played.

Kupp makes me sad. Him and Puka are both falling off at the same time and anyone who drafted Kupp probably needs a strong finish from him if they’re going to have any hope of winning their leagues.
The entire offense seems to run through Kyren now. Kudos to anyone who owns Kyren.

In the ieague where I have Kupp I also have Kyren.

Not sure I’d compare Puka to Kupp this season based off one game.

I hope not. Seriously you can’t bench him if he is active, but starting him is killing our teams.
At least if he is out, the decision is made for us.

I’m benching Kupp for Kirk until further notice. And my team name is based on Kupp, so I don’t do this lightly.

Started Tank over him last week, can't believe it took me that long and don't see any reason to change it.
Be shocked if he didn't. He should be quite a bit healthier with another week, and even if he's something of a decoy like he was this week, his presence alone commands defensive attention.
I'm not super excited about starting him this week, though I'm not auto-benching him, but I still think if you get to that Was/NO/NYG stretch from week 15-17 he could be a big difference maker if healthy.
As for this week, I'd probably be looking at him as a WR3, with TD based WR2 upside if the Browns offense has trouble staying on the field with all their injuries.

benching him this week in favor of Thielen or Puka... not sure which, but Kupp is firmly planted on my bench until further notice.

Welcome to the bench, Cooper.
Got to send a message to the rest of my guys before playoffs start.

Benched him last week, didn't trust him. Now firmly on the bench for Aiyuk and Nico.

Now that I benched Kupp for Kirk this week, I want to say, “you’re welcome” to those of you who are starting him, since he will inevitably go off for 30 fantasy points.

I have that exact same choice to make.

I’ve punished him in one dynasty league by moving him out of my WR slots and down into one of my flex slots. Expect him to be motivated now.

Thanks? I’m starting him over Lockett.

I benched him last week but have to start him this week because a lot of my other WRs are on bye. I'll see how he does this week before deciding what to do for the rest of the year.

He went from from top 3 WR to can't start in no time.

At least he wasn't a first round pick...right? Right???

My first two picks in one league? Jefferson and Kupp.
Somehow, still in the hunt.....barely. Tank and Aiyuk have carried me at WR.

The one team I have Kupp on snuck into the playoffs, despite Ekeler/Kupp being my 1st and 3rd picks (thanks Kyren and Pittman) so I think it'd be really cool if those guys came through when it mattered most.
Kupp's schedule is gorgeous, maybe the best of any WR going forward. Was/NO/NYG.
