How will Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp coexist in fantasy? | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

so then tier two starts with pukaa at eight yeah it does so Garrett Wilson like to me I feel like if I if I leave the first round especially in a 12 team league if I leave the first round with any one of those seven wide receivers I'm feeling good along with obviously mcaffrey bejon or Bree Right so let's talk about 10 but like yeah then but then you get into the it's kind of a teardrop right so I think it kind of goes from ncua to Chris olve is and we we'll we'll look at the next tier but to me that's the next tier is that is that tier two that's 8 to 12 yeah8 to 12 exactly where I I feel good about that we didn't talk about puka n yeah puka n yeah your best friend but you are higher I'm sure he's going to be Cup this year well that's the problem right like nura his issue is one he was able to stay fully healthy last year I don't think people have maybe fully absorbed how much his production fell off after the first four weeks of the Season where he was just never getting more than like five receptions he was barely getting double digit targets and just in that offense where MCV likes to run the ball Cooper Cup by accounts is healthy and in Camp and in Camp the reports have been that coopa cup has been the wide receiver and not puka nura so I just think that there are concerns about puker from that front like I think you just have to just on average regress the idea that he is going to be the Rams number one wide receiver because he's younger than cup and cup has dealt with these issues but cup stays healthy for the full year I think there is a very good chance that Cooper cup is wide receiver one on the Rams Over N for sure I mean there's there's a massive connection between Stafford and cup that has been there for years and years and years all the jokes about The Breakfast Club but that's true I mean you know you've got Stafford a veteran quarterback cup is a veteran wide receiver they know where each other are all all the time and when we spoke to pukaa at the um at the Super Bowl he you know he gave a ton of credit to gooper cup for sort of taking him under his wing and excuse me helping him uh with with Stafford and with the offense but so far through Camp it seems like because niku has been banged up and Cup's been very healthy like Cup's like at the moment the number one guy and I don't know why all of a sudden n is n is showing up and all of a sudden Stafford's like yeah Cooper cup never mind yeah I mean Cooper cup was the number one wide not only the number one wide receiver in fantasy but like the best wide receiver in fantasy football history yes two years ago yeah and had the greatest wide receiver season in the history of the once Super Bowl MVP like it was the greatest season at that position that we have seen and I just think with the as well like a small thing but like there were some other guys in this top 10 where if they got marginalized into being the second option like you would hear about it and they would be arguing for targets like like Devonte Adams isn't going to cop being like wide receiver two like getting a few of targets I think pukan is going to be fine if he slides back in his role a little bit doesn't seem he's going to be like leaking to the media that I'm not worried about pukan I'm just my point has always been like if you're investing in the Rams offense I prefer Cooper cup at Cost yes to pukaa but do we think pukaa is unbelievable yes do we think he has a big year and that the Rams offense overall is really good we do um so Matthew is that why you buy into him and have him at a over Marvin Harrison Jr and Drake London who are the clear Alpha wide receivers of their offense they are but again like in both cases you're sitting there with both because n's done it right we haven't seen it from Harrison or London before like we watch the college tape of both guys we love the talent of both guys but the fact of the matter is is that Marvin Harrison has not done it yet right I mean like we we haven't seen him on the pro level and then you think about Drake London Drake London has not done it on the pro level again we're putting a lot of faith in the idea that oh quarterback upgrade with our cousins coaching upgrade with Zach Robinson and I buy into all that obviously when you see um you see my rankings I'm I'm in on Drake London this year I'm in on Marvin Harrison JR this year but you ask me why are they ranked below puka AA because there's less question marks about puka to me the only question mark is is one versus you know two with Cooper cup but the truth matter is is even with cup out there even with cup out there he was averaging 15 and a half fantasy points per game 27% Target chair uh he saw almost 100 targets you know he had the he averaged over 92 yards from scrimmage per game that was fifth most among wide receivers like he still had he didn't have crazy numbers with like he did without cup but with cup there he was still very productive Y what scares me though his final 10 games of the Season he got more than five receptions once he saw double digit targets once now that's a little bit unfair because if you throw in the playoff game against Detroit he was nine receptions on 10 targets for 181 yards and a touchdown so look I think he's going to be better than that on average but also the other thing with the ca I think of wide young wide receivers it might be the biggest injury risk out out there because of the way that he plays how physical is he is with his blocking like we thought he was done for the season after he got hurt against Cleveland where he went down it's seemed really bad then he comes back in and he's fine just a little thing I think he dealt with some stuff in college as well um so it's just a little bit of a concern um because he does play a very physical brand hey it's Matthew Barry from nbcsports.com and rotoworld.com and I want to thank you so much for watching whatever it is you
