Cooper Kupp has been one of the most consistent players on the Los Angeles Rams this season. The former third-round pick leads the NFL in receptions (85), receiving yards (1,141), and receiving touchdowns (10), putting him in rare air among the all-time greats for a single season.
While his total numbers have been well-documented by fans and the media alike, Kupp’s numbers solely in the slot rival the numbers that other wide receivers are putting up. According to PFF, Kupp’s 840 yards in the slot would rank him fifth in the NFL in total receiving yards.
Kupp has long been doing most of his damage out of the slot for the Rams, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the majority of his production is coming from inside. To be exact, 73.6% of his receiving yards this season have come from the slot position.
