Is it though? They basically performed identical during the regular season (13.25 ppg in PPR). One is getting older, coming off a significant injury, has an aging QB, and a young alpha next to him... The other has the best QB in the league in his prime, grew up in the playoffs last year, and is taking the year 2 leap. Legal troubles and unknown Brown/Worthy dynamic granted. Kupp and Rice being the same feels about right to me. I think both finish in the 15-20/25 fantasy WR range.
#31 overall referenced earlier is way to early though. 5th round feels right.
