This is more a PSA for those who played the last couple years as I have PMd everyone that had and posted a thread in the casino forum. Sorry to bother all you non fantasy players.
I created it on sleeper this year and it is an auction and FAAB league. Draft is this evening/tonight.

Today I watched him literally go 1 pick after Cooper Kupp, that's craziness.
Is it though? They basically performed identical during the regular season (13.25 ppg in PPR). One is getting older, coming off a significant injury, has an aging QB, and a young alpha next to him... The other has the best QB in the league in his prime, grew up in the playoffs last year, and is taking the year 2 leap. Legal troubles and unknown Brown/Worthy dynamic granted. Kupp and Rice being the same feels about right to me. I think both finish in the 15-20/25 fantasy WR range.
#31 overall referenced earlier is way to early though. 5th round feels right. [Reply]

Rice will have more guys around him taking targets.
Hollywood, and Worthy being added helps the KC offense but not Rice's FF value. [Reply]

There are so many people who think Kupp is still a top 5 fantasy WR. Like if you want Rice more than say Michael Pittman I'm on board with that, the Kupp one feels iffy. [Reply]
