Today he has 1,481 yards with 119 receptions (12 YPC) and has 12 TDs to date

He's the type of player that will want this record and I think he may get there. At this point needs to average 130 YPG to achieve it, more than the 123 YPG pace he is on. In the way would be an injury risk (same for any player) but also a worry might be that their final game is meaningless and he sits. They are all but assured to win the division and lock it up early (three games ahead with 4 games to go), but the fight for top seed *should* go to the final week.
It's almost certain to be a three team race for top seed / bye - Dolphins, Chiefs, Ravens
Dolphins: 9-3 (lost to Chiefs, play Ravens week 16)
Ravens : 9-3 (play Dolphins week 16)
Chiefs: 8-4 (beat Dolphins)
Current record holder is Calvin Johnson with 1,964 yards in 2012, with Kupp hitting 1,947 a couple years ago most recently.
A good breakdown of what makes him so good as a receiver here

Rare combination of speed, route-running ability and hands is the general story. I think most receivers strive for two, it's not often you get someone with the triad.
Before others chime in let's all acknowledge he appears to be a pretty awful guy with repeated violent incidents. I won't be rooting for him to achieve it, but then he probably could not care less whether I root for him or not - he's still going after the record.
So if able to put the above aside, what does everyone think - will he get there?
I looked at Kupp's 2021 season. At this mark he had 1,516 yards (35 yards ahead of Hill right now). His next four games were 64, 96, 163, 108 yards. I looked at that last game of the season (34-14 win vs Bears) and Goff was trying to feed him late in the game, likely to get the record. In the end you just run out of time, which might be what happens to Hill.
