Quick Reads

Fantasy players who started Cooper Kupp this weekend were probably pretty happy with their results. The Rams wideout failed to score against Miami, but he posted 110 yards on 11 catches. That's good production, especially in PPR formats. Fantasy football, however, is not real-life football, and in the real world there were a lot of empty calories in Kupp's numbers. Our advanced statistics (theoretically) provide a more accurate measure of a player's real-life value, and they say Kupp was the least valuable receiver of the week.

Los Angeles had a disastrous second quarter against Miami, as a bushel of turnovers and a special teams touchdown left them trailing 28-7 before halftime.
