Cooper Kupp is approaching a fantasy record held by Emmitt Smith

If you drafted Cooper Kupp in fantasy football last year, there’s a good chance you won your league. And if you have him in a keeper or dynasty league, you’re probably off to a good start in 2022.

Kupp has been a model of consistency as a receiver, posting 15 straight games with at least 90 yards. He also has at least five catches in 23 consecutive games, too, never getting shut down by an opponent since the start of last season.

From a fantasy perspective, that obviously translates to a lot of points. According to Rich Hribar of Sharp Football, Kupp’s streak of 15-plus PPR (points per reception) points is 19 straight games is second only to Emmitt Smith, who had 20 such games from 1995-1996.

Fantasy stats obviously don’t translate to the actual NFL record book, but Kupp’s stretch since the start of last season is remarkable. He always comes through with double-digit fantasy points for those who have him, making it impossible to ever take him out of the lineup – no matter the matchup.
