Cooper Kupp vs Kayshon Boutte: The Full Breakdown
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Cooper Kupp (Los Angeles Rams) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.8 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Kayshon Boutte (New England Patriots) came in at 7.7 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Cooper Kupp carries a 3.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Cooper Kupp saw 92 targets in 2025, while Kayshon Boutte drew 46. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Cooper Kupp, even in weeks where Kayshon Boutte posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Cooper Kupp has his bye in Week 6, and Kayshon Boutte rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
