He had less than 35 yards in six of the final eight games, including a combined one catch for 6 yards in losses at Detroit and Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wivm1ep14\">Romeo Doubs caught 46 passes for 601 yards and four touchdowns. In three seasons, he has zero 100-yard games (other than the playoffs vs. Dallas), hasn\u2019t had a 700-yard season and is neither a deep threat nor run-after-catch threat.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nzrc0ba32\">Wicks caught 39 passes for 415 yards and five touchdowns. His yards per catch went from 14.9 as a rookie to 10.6 and his catch percentage went from 67.2 to 51.3.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_mivtoetln\">So, perhaps Kupp, despite his age and injury history, could give a needed lift to the Jordan Love-led passing attack.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_b0f5ihn59\">\u201cNext chapter starts now. Best is yet to come,\u201d Kupp wrote at the conclusion of a lengthy X post after being released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_7kn9pfrsf\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Eight years of incredible memories.<\/p>\n<p>We talked often about the Rams being back in LA and how we would grow to be something special here. And there was frustration early on around getting the buy in from the people of LA.<\/p>\n<p>But we knew at the end of the day, it\u2019s about providing\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/QhW9oihGeT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014 Cooper Kupp (@CooperKupp) March 12, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_i10v3d1q1\">In 12 games last season, Kupp caught 67 passes for 710 yards and six touchdowns. He missed four early-season games \u2013 including a matchup against the Packers \u2013 with an ankle injury and sat out the Week 18 game with various other key players.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_euax6fgi5\">Still, after playing in 48 of a possible 49 games from 2019 through 2021, he has played in only 33 of a possible 51 games the last three seasons. Taking his 2024 stats over 17 games, he would have caught 95 passes for 1,006 yards and 8.5 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_14jmn4o89\">According to Sports Info Solutions, Kupp dropped one pass (1.3 percent) in 2024, two passes in 2023 (2.9 percent) and two passes in 2022 (2.4 percent). For his career, his drop rate is 3.8 percent. By contrast:<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5nw7hv73x\">Wicks: eight drops (13.1 percent) in 2024; two-year drop rate of 11.1 percent.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_c1gbolk3h\">Reed: eight drops (11.8 percent) in 2024; two-year drop rate of 7.6 percent.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ibhsefp9y\">Doubs: six drops (9.7 percent) in 2024; three-year drop rate of 7.9 percent.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_adfzli9n6\">Christian Watson, who will miss a big chunk of the season with a torn ACL, has shown the best hands on the team with one drop (2.7 percent) each of the last two seasons. He\u2019s also the team\u2019s best field-stretching threat because of his size and speed.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_mv4poc15c\">Kupp won\u2019t replace that ability but, on passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield, he caught 7-of-12 in 2024, 7-of-13 in 2023, 6-of-10 in 2022 and 15-of-23 in 2021, when he led the NFL in receptions, yards and touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ub0gt8lpc\">That speed receiver will have to come in the draft. Texas\u2019 Matthew Golden, the fastest receiver at the Scouting Combine, is co-favorite with Arizona\u2019s Tetairoa McMillan to be the first receiver selected at FanDuel Sportsbook.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8zd9qhfmb\"><em>Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ordomhmr1\"><em>If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_uo7a14pi7\">\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Are the #Packers better on the offensive line with Aaron Banks instead of Josh Myers, who signed with the Jets today?
