The Cardinals and Rams matchup has the makings of a shootout in Week 4, as WynnBET Sportsbook has set the total in this contest at 54.5 (Over -110/Under -110).

So which of the top two receivers will have more receptions in this game: DeAndre Hopkins or Cooper Kupp?

Both quarterbacks, Kyler Murray of the Cardinals and Matthew Stafford of the Rams, have put up great passing numbers this season. Kupp has been the biggest beneficiary to Stafford’s renaissance, while Murray has spread the ball around with six different Arizona players recording 10 or more catches in the first three weeks.

DeAndre Hopkins vs. Cooper Kupp Stat Comparison

  • Kupp: 25

Receiving Yards

  • Hopkins: 158

WynnBET Sportsbook has Hopkins receptions total prop set at 6.0 (Over +105/Under -135), and Kupp’s receptions total prop set at 6.5 (Over -130/Under +100).

The Los Angeles secondary has allowed 306.7 passing yards per game, which is ranked 25th in the NFL. The Rams can put up big passing numbers, but have allowed big passing numbers in return. Los Angeles won last week but still managed to allow 432 passing yards to Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While Hopkins has received 18 targets, wide receiver A.J. Green has picked up 18 targets too, and Christian Kirk and running back Chase Edmonds have seen 17 targets come their way as well.

While the Cardinals have allowed just 227 passing yards per game (9th-best in the NFL), the volume of targets that Stafford has given to Kupp is too large to ignore. 

I’ll take the over on Kupp’s catches in this potential shootout, and Kupp should have more catches in this game than Hopkins.
