2. WRs Cooper Kupp & Robert Woods, Los Angeles Rams (vs. Tennessee Titans)

Any football fan knows that Cooper Kupp has been absolutely incredible this season. He’s first in every receiving category and it’s not particularly close. In fact, the craziest stat of them all is that he’s on pace to break Calvin Johnson’s single season receiving yard record.

He’s obviously a matchup proof player, but this week is especially juicy, not only for him but his teammate Robert Woods. The Tennessee Titans are dead last in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to receivers. This is obvious looking back at Tennessee’s games this season. Just last week, Michael Pittman Jr. caught 10-of-15 targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

Both Kupp and Woods should feast in this game, whether it’s super competitive or not. The Titans are currently the No. 1 seed in the AFC and coming off of two big wins over the Chiefs and the Colts, so expect them to push the Rams and make this a good game, which is great news for Kupp and Woods fantasy owners.
