Cooper Kupp is back. There was a small lull during the season -- a streak almost every rookie has -- but on Sunday, in a critical game against the Saints with Robert Woods ailing, Kupp showed why he has been one of the top first-year receivers in the league.
He didn't score a touchdown, but Kupp had the only 100-yard day of any rookie receiver on eight catches. JuJu Smith-Schuster's hamstring injury left him inactive Sunday night, so Kupp now leads rookie receivers in receptions and yards.
Two other rookies are starting to find their niche as the season winds down.
