The 33-year-old receiver made the best catch of the first two days of camp in a seven-on-seven period, getting a step on cornerback Josh Jobe down the left sideline and bringing in a Sam Darnold throw with one hand while falling out of bounds. Teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba praised the play: "That's Cooper Kupp for you. Great concentration with the left hand, diving. You don't really see that often ... but a spectacular play and something he definitely still has in his arsenal."

Despite being 33 years old and concerns about potential role diminishment with Rashid Shaheed integration and Tory Horton's return, Kupp has shown no signs of slowing down early in camp. He delivered one of the highlight plays of camp earlier in the week with a diving one-handed grab near the sideline and had another handful of catches Thursday, including getting behind rookie safety Bud Clark for a big gain during a one-on-one session. Kupp's approach to camp remains unchanged since entering the NFL in 2017.

Kupp advocates for grass surface at Lumen Field, stating that playing on grass makes his body feel significantly better than turf. He emphasizes personal physical experience over injury metrics: "It makes a huge difference. I know all the metrics and all the data that say the injury rates of this, but I don't know. I know how I feel. You ask a lot of players who will say the same thing. Whether injury rates change or not, I know how my body feels, everything on turf versus grass." Kupp previously made similar advocacy during his 2022 time with the Los Angeles Rams, saying "We should be on grass."

Kupp advocates for grass over turf at Lumen Field, citing significant subjective body feel differences between surfaces. He acknowledges uncertainty around injury rate metrics but emphasizes personal experience: "It makes a huge difference. I know how my body feels, everything on turf versus grass." Kupp previously made similar statements in 2022 while with the Rams, saying "We should be on grass." His position reflects broader NFLPA push for grass fields league-wide.

Kupp, now 33 years old, is showing clear signs of decline. In his first year with Seattle, he was merely 56th at wide receiver in 0.5-PPR scoring during the regular season despite some big catches during the team's Super Bowl run. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the clear focal point of the Seahawks' passing attack with a 35% target share. Now another year older, Kupp faces additional target competition from Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton. While extremely affordable at 207.5 ADP, it's hard to justify drafting him outside of Seahawks stacks.

The 33-year-old, 10-year veteran receiver made a one-handed, diving catch from Sam Darnold in traffic near the sideline during a seven-on-seven session, followed by another catch two plays later in the same drill. Teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba noted the spectacular play demonstrated Kupp still has the skill in his arsenal, saying 'He makes it regular and brushes it off, but it's a spectacular play and something he has in his arsenal, still has in his arsenal.' The play capped what was a good day for Kupp and the receiving corps overall.

NegativeValueJul 25, 2026Davis Mattek
Davis Mattek would never take Cooper Kupp in a managed league despite Kupp being good for best-ball formats, indicating a preference mismatch between league types. Mattek didn't really like Kupp as a prospect despite him being a first-round pick, indicating skepticism about his fantasy upside. However, Mattek notes that if Kupp were a 49er instead of a Ram, he'd go in round five and be very expensive, suggesting his current ADP is lower due to being on the Rams rather than a more pass-heavy offense.

In a hypothetical scenario where Kupp was acquired by the Ravens during his prime (2019–2021), he would have been an elite WR1 for Lamar Jackson—a complete receiver and difference-maker capable of changing playoff outcomes. The source notes Kupp was one of the most complete receivers in the game and could have provided the kind of do-it-all target Jackson has never really had in his career, though his receiving Triple Crown achievement might not have been replicated in Baltimore.

The source identifies Kupp as a potential trade acquisition who could have been a transformative difference-maker for the Ravens. In his prime (2019–2021), Kupp was one of the most complete receivers in the game and could have served as the kind of do-it-all target Lamar Jackson never had in his career. While Kupp likely would not have won the receiving Triple Crown in Baltimore, the source argues he was the caliber of difference-maker capable of changing the outcome of a playoff game or two.
