<p><strong>Cooper Kupp&#8217;s Sudden Departure</strong></p>
<p>The fantasy football world shook when Cooper Kupp went on the IL for an estimated four weeks. Fantasy managers are in a tizzy over potential pivots, especially with Van Jefferson offering a tempting choice.</p>

<p><strong>Jefferson vs. Collins: The Showdown</strong></p>
<p><strong>Van Jefferson at Seattle:</strong> There&#8217;s a lot of noise in the fantasy realm, but Van Jefferson stands out. The Rams&#8217; matchup against Seattle offers Jefferson the perfect stage to prove his mettle. With the experienced Matthew Stafford helming the Rams&#8217; offensive, there&#8217;s a sense of assurance for Jefferson&#8217;s potential output. Remember, in-division games can be unpredictable, and Stafford, paired with Jefferson, might just pull a surprise.</p>
<p><strong>Nico Collins at Baltimore:</strong> On the flip side, Nico Collins presents an interesting proposition. With the Texans likely playing from behind, CJ Stroud will be looking to air out the ball. However, launching against the mighty Ravens&#8217; defense in Baltimore seems a tall order for Stroud. There&#8217;s a narrative where Collins shines with a breakout play, yet consistency might not be in the cards.</p>
<p><strong>The Verdict: Trusting the Volume</strong></p>
<p>When caught in the Jefferson vs. Collins quagmire, I&#8217;d lean towards the former. Van Jefferson, paired with Stafford, offers a promising volume-based play. In contrast, Nico Collins, while enticing, seems a bit more of a gamble given his matchup against the Ravens.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: Make Informed Choices</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s crucial to weigh the game script, quarterback situation, and matchup while making your fantasy choices. While both Jefferson and Collins offer their unique appeals, I&#8217;d place my bet on Jefferson for Week 1. Choose wisely, and may your fantasy lineup flourish!</p>
