Cooper Kupp best prop bets for Rams vs. Cardinals in NFL Week 17

Cooper Kupp best prop bets for Rams vs. Cardinals in NFL Week 17

Updated:

By: Dan Johnson

The invisible man still has prop bet markets on DraftKings Sportsbook! Wild, right? Seeing as Cooper Kupp’s zero-point performance against the San Francisco 49ers happened in the first round of the fantasy playoffs, and his 4.9 FPT performance against the Jets was almost more uninspiring than his goose-egg. But things are shaping up for number ten in royal blue to show out in Saturday night’s tilt between the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals. There’s a best bet for Cooper Kupp out there.

Interestingly enough, Kupp’s totals markets are still rather lofty, which may have many bettors slamming the unders. I’ve evaluated what’s available for Kupp on DraftKings Sportsbook, and dive into my favorite prop bet for Kupp.

I’ve also written a Puka Nacua prop I like for tonight, and my favorite Matthew Stafford prop as well.

Best Cooper Kupp prop bet for Rams vs. Cardinals on Saturday Night

Cooper Kupp o53.5 total receiving yards

Why overcomplicate anything here? If we were getting a 54-yard total on Cooper Kupp in a primetime divisional game against an Arizona Cardinals defense (which does still include many legacy pieces they had before), we’d be all over it. Especially with as well as Matthew Stafford is playing recently.

He’s already averaging 61.9 receiving yards per game, so we’re getting almost a full reception’s worth of yards off on this market. And sure we are. He’s totaled 24 yards across the last eight quarters. Something’s been amiss.

Honestly, I think the conditions had everything to do with it. Weather was a problem in San Francisco in Week 15, and you might want to believe the whole west-coast-team-heads-east-for-a-cold-and-early-December-game doldrums. The Rams barely had the ball in the first half in Week 16 against the Jets, and they didn’t need Cooper Kupp to do much more than block for Kyren Williams’ 122 rushing yards.

I think the nine-to-ten connection that’s made this era of the Rams so electric to watch will be on full display at home tonight.

Best bet: Cooper Kupp o53.5 total receiving yards
