It might seem more logical to put Josh Reynolds here, since he’ll likely be the one replacing Brandin Cooks. But more pressure will be on Kupp to produce in 2020 with Cooks gone and the Rams steering away from a heavy reliance on 11 personnel.

Kupp all but disappeared in the second-half of the 2019 season, catching just 36 passes for 369 yards and five touchdowns in the last eight games. He had only one game with more than 65 yards, which came in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Cardinals where he had 99 yards.

He didn’t produce nearly as well as he did in the first eight games of the season and his playing time was even cut as the Rams used more two-tight end sets. Kupp has to rebound and play the way he did in the first eight weeks rather than the most recent eight games he started.
