Cooper Kupp Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp will remain out for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers due to a high-ankle sprain he sustained in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Since then, Kupp has been unable to practice, but the Rams are hopeful that their star receiver will be ready to return following the team's Week 6 bye. Barring any setbacks, Kupp is expected to make his return to the lineup for the Rams' Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Rams’ passing attack has struggled in Kupp’s absence, with no clear standout emerging as Matthew Stafford’s primary target. Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, and Tyler Johnson have all seen increased opportunities, but none have solidified themselves as the go-to option that Kupp typically provides. 

Fantasy Impact: Kupp’s Return Could Be on the Horizon

For fantasy managers, Kupp’s potential Week 7 return offers a ray of hope. His presence immediately elevates the Rams' offense and solidifies him as a must-start fantasy option. While the Rams’ receiving corps has tried to fill the gap, none of the current options have the consistency or high ceiling that Kupp brings to the field.

In the meantime, fantasy managers should continue to monitor Kupp’s practice status in Week 6 to ensure there are no setbacks in his recovery. If Kupp returns on schedule, he could significantly impact the Rams' Week 7 game against the Raiders and beyond.
