In the 2025 NFL season, Cooper Kupp is projected to be a significant asset for the Seattle Seahawks, despite the challenges posed by his age and role competition. Kupp has already recorded 56 receptions for 809 yards and nine touchdowns through seven games, boasting a 69.1 percent catch rate and 10.0 yards per target.
His slot proficiency remains elite, as highlighted by Mike Dugar's comments on the Seahawks Man 2 Man podcast. However, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerging as the primary slot receiver, Kupp will likely see more time outside. Smith-Njigba's 2024 breakout, with 100 receptions, 1,130 yards, and 6 touchdowns, underscores his slot dominance.
Fantasy managers should note Kupp's current ADP as WR40, reflecting concerns over his role and Seattle's offensive line. While Kupp's contract secures him through 2025, his fantasy value may hinge on Seattle's offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's ability to craft plays that leverage his slot strengths.
