Fantasy Football: The Top 10 Rookie Wide Receivers for 2017
Corey Davis was the first wideout taken in this year's NFL Draft, but should he be the first rookie receiver off the board in your fantasy football draft?

9. Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams

Average Draft Position: Undrafted

Projected Fantasy Points: 40.63 (WR102)

As you can see from our projections, there's quite a gap between Taylor at 10th and Cooper Kupp at 9th. Both are going undrafted, but Kupp could work his way into fantasy relevance with the Los Angeles Rams. Within his own team, there's no clear-cut number one on the outside, and he could become Jared Goff's security blanket from the slot position.

If you're unfamiliar with Kupp, he attended FCS Eastern Washington and churned out 428 catches, 6,464 yards and 73 touchdowns in four collegiate seasons. Better yet, in four games against FBS schools, he averaged 10 catches, 179 yards and 2.8 touchdowns per contest, so to say he only dominated the little guys would be wrong.

Our algorithms project Kupp for 52 targets, 29 catches, 357 receiving yards and 1 touchdown in his first run in the pros.
