Cooper Kupp Limited in Practice, Week 7 Status Uncertain

By eDraft Fantasy Football on Thursday, October 17th 2024

Cooper Kupp Injury Update

Rams WR Cooper Kupp was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, working through individual drills as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury. Head Coach Sean McVay expressed cautious optimism, stating that Kupp is “trending in the right direction” but will need to progress further before a final decision is made on his Week 7 availability against the Steelers. The Rams are carefully monitoring Kupp’s activity and will evaluate his readiness as the week unfolds.

Kupp’s potential return would provide a boost to the Rams' offense, but his limited participation suggests he may still be at risk of a lighter workload if he does suit up.

Fantasy Impact: Kupp Remains a Risky Start

For fantasy managers, Kupp’s limited practice indicates he may be on a snap count if he plays. Although Kupp’s ability to produce on limited touches is undeniable, the uncertainty surrounding his role makes him a risky WR1 play this week. Managers should closely follow his practice reports, as a full practice later in the week would increase his viability as a starter. If Kupp is restricted, teammates like Tutu Atwell could see increased targets. With that said, you can't really sit Kupp if he's active.

What Kupp’s Return Means for the Rams’ Offense

Kupp’s potential return is significant for the Rams, adding a reliable target for QB Matthew Stafford. If Kupp can handle a normal workload, he instantly enhances the Rams’ passing game, freeing up other receivers and creating more scoring opportunities. However, his recovery timeline remains day-to-day, and his usage could be limited to ensure long-term health. Fantasy managers should prepare alternative options while tracking Kupp’s status, as he approaches a game-time decision.

The Rams are expected to provide further updates on Kupp’s availability throughout the week, making Thursday’s practice report crucial for his Week 7 outlook.
