Jake

Bobo

We haven’t blurbed a Jake Bobo game in all of 2025, as the third-year receiver had just two catches for 20 yards in the regular season. Little did we know it’d all be building to Honkin’ On Bobo in the NFC Championship game, as he scored following Xavier Smith’s disastrous punt flub while the entire Rams defense followed Jaxon Smith-Njigba across the field. It’d be hard to count on Bobo in Super Bowl LX DFS, but if he got there, it would be very funny.

Cross will be missed. The Rams’ 39.6 percent quarterback pressure rate is the seventh-best in the NFL. Bobo will be replaced by WR Dareke Young (quad), who also contributes as a returner. He was activated from injured reserve today. Both the Rams and Seahawks are 11-3, though the Rams have already secured a playoff spot. The Seahawks can take control of the NFC West with a victory this evening.

Kupp practiced fully all week, so he is good to go for his revenge game against the Rams. The Seahawks will also have WR Jako Bobo (calf) on hand for the divisional showdown. Kupp can be treated as a WR3 against the Rams this week, in what could be a pass-heavy, competitive matchup.

Kupp practiced in full on Friday after upgrading to a limited session on Thursday. He should be considered firmly questionable to play, though the full session to close the week is a good sign. The veteran wide receiver entered Week 9 by practicing in full with a heel injury, and was ultimately sidelined by a mid-week hamstring strain. The latter issue has seemingly improved. The Seahawks have labeled WR Tory Horton (groin/shin) questionable to play this week, while ruling out WR Jake Bobo (calf), setting up new WR Rashid Shaheed for a sizable role in his first game with the team. Shaheed is a WR3 with upside, for the occasion.

Kupp’s return is a big deal, though he is not yet out of the woods. Seahawks rookie WR Tory Horton practiced in full yesterday while listed with a groin injury. He was unable to practice today and is now also listed with a shin injury. Seahawks TE AJ Barner (calf) remains limited through two practices as well, and rotational WR Jake Bobo (calf) remains sidelined. New Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed is seemingly headed toward a significant role in his first game with his new team.

Kupp did not play in Week 9 due to hamstring and heel issues and now starts out Week 10 not practicing. Wednesday was just a walkthrough for the Seahawks, but the DNP estimation indicates Kupp is not trending to play in against the Cardinals. Also DNP were WRs Jake Bobo (calf) and Dareke Young (quad). Newly acquired Rashid Shaheed and rookie Tory Horton will step up next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with Kupp, Bobo, and Young dealing with injuries.

The injury is not a tear, per MacDonald, but Bobo going straight to being ruled out is not a promising sign for his short-term availability. The depth receiver has just two catches this season.

Kupp was a full participant coming out of the Seahawks’ Week 8 bye yesterday, though he was only listed only with the heel injury. Thursday’s injury report suggests Kupp injured his hamstring in practice today, which jeopardizes his availability for the Seahawks’ Week 9 game against the Commanders. Anything is possible, but Kupp is sitting on the wrong side of questionable as of Thursday afternoon. Seahawks No. 4 WR Jake Bobo was also added to the injury report with an Achilles injury.

Bob missed Seattle’s Week 1 game against the Niners while recovering from a brain injury. Against the Steelers, he could slot in as Seattle’s WR3. He won’t have much in the ay of fantasy relevance in the massively run-first Seahawks offense. Seahawks declared S Nick Emmanwori, QB Jalen Milroe (emergency 3rd QB), CB Devon Witherspoon, LB Jared Ivey, LB Connor O’Toole, T/G Mason Richman, and TE Nick Kallerup inactive against the Steelers.

Bobo and WR Dareke Young (hamstring) will both be available this weekend. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only Seahawk to earn more than three targets in Week 1, returning anyone even mildly capable to the lineup is a plus. Bobo will likely compete with rookie WR Tory Horton for WR3 duties. S Julian Love (groin) and DT Jarran Reed (back) are good to go as well.
