Rams- Cooper Kupp + Allen Robinson

Sean McVay finally got a top echelon QB to run his system, and the payout was huge for Cooper Kupp. By adding the supremely talented Allen Robinson to this offense, I expect this duo to be among the best in the league in 2022.

No QB/WR duo produced more than Stafford and Kupp last year, which ultimately brought the Super Bowl trophy to Los Angeles. The Offensive Player of the Year, and SB MVP, almost broke the single season yards record set by HOF, Calvin Johnson in a historic year. Kupp caught 145 balls for 1,947 yards and 16TDs, and seemed to put together a monstrous performance every single week. It’ll be interesting to see how defenses adjust to Kupp and Stafford in 2022, and if this success can continue.

Allen Robinson had an extremely disappointing 2021 season. He had career low in catches, yards, and touchdowns due to injuries and bad QB play. Being able to produce with some of the leagues worst QBs has sort of been Robinson’s motto since entering the NFL. Despite playing with Blake Bortles, Mitch Trubisky, Andy Dalton, Nick Foles, and Justin Fields, Robinson has put together 3 1,000 yard seasons. I expect Robinson to excel with a good QB and one of the best offensive minds in the NFL.

This is the riskiest duo to put in the top 5, in my opinion. They have to be included on every list solely because of the brilliance of Cooper Kupp, but it would be risky to assume that Kupp can produce in the ball park of his 2021 stat line again. Robinson fresh off the worst season of his career has a lot to prove. I’m a believer that he will bounce back with a new team, but it’s not a guarantee by any means. I expect both of these players to have great seasons in 2022, but the slight feeling I have that some of the other duos on this list, and around the NFL can out produce them, has me rank them a little lower than their ceiling.
