Cooper Kupp has had back-to-back disappointing seasons marred by injuries, but he’s still viewed as one of the best players in the NFL by his peers.
On NFL Network’s Top 100 Players for 2024 list, Kupp came in at No. 69 for the upcoming season, his fourth time making the top 100. It’s obvious that players around the league still view Kupp as a premier talent when available and he’s expected to have a bounce-back year now that he’s fully healthy again.
Last year, Kupp was No. 47 on the top-100 list after being voted No. 4 in 2022 following his historic triple crown season. His first appearance in the top 100 came in 2020 when he was ranked 89th.

Last season, Kupp caught just 59 passes for 737 yards and five touchdowns in the 12 games he played. The only season in which he had fewer receptions and yards was in 2018 when he played just eight games. He was hampered by a hamstring injury early in the year, which caused him to miss the first four games, and he never seemed to fully recover.
The Rams hope Kupp can go into the 2024 season 100% healthy without any limitations, and pairing him with Puka Nacua should give them one of the best receiving tandems in the league.
Kupp is the second Rams player to make the Top 100 so far this year, with Kyren Williams being voted the 78th-best player.
