    Should You Start or Sit Cooper Kupp in the Divisional Round?

    Kupp didn’t earn a first-half target on Monday night, continuing a disturbing trend for the 31-year-old — he’s earned just 10 targets on 87 routes run (five receptions) over his past four games.

    I was bullish on him last week, highlighting his production splits against the blitz this regular season.

    • Blitzed: 41.4% production over expectation, 2.4 points per target, and 3.8 yards per route
    • Not blitzed: 11% production below expectation, 1.5 points per target, and 1.5 yards per route

    It didn’t work out. I thought I was smarter than Father Time, and I was wrong. Maybe this is one of those situations I just can’t get right and me being off of him this week is a blessing to those looking to invest, but nothing we’ve seen for over a month now suggests that a vintage performa|nce is coming.

    I stand by the blitz angle from above and now he faces the second least aggressive defense in the league (15.4% blitz rate; NFL average: 25.3%). Puka Nacua saw a deep target on the first play last week and was featured in the short passing game.

    I’m not counting out Kupp from making a big play or two, but I’m not sure what his path to paying off in a major way is in this spot, especially if the Eagles dictate tempo with their dominant running game.
