Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Cooper Kupp (hamstring) officially limited at practice Wednesday
Cooper Kupp (hamstring) was officially limited at Wednesday’s practice for the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Wednesday was the first day that Kupp has practiced all year, but he was still limited and isn’t 100% just yet. He’s still recovering from a lingering hamstring strain, but it sounds like the team is looking to ramp him up and hopes he plays this week. They’ll make a decision on that later this week, and if he’s active, he will be a must-start fantasy option and will hurt the fantasy value of both Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell.

Dameon Pierce (knee) limited at practice Wednesday
Dameon Pierce (knee) was limited at Houston’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Pierce being on the injury report comes as somewhat of a surprise. He’s listed with a knee injury of some kind, but the presumption is that it isn’t a serious issue and the team only limited him for precautionary reasons. His practice participation on Thursday and Friday will tell us more about how his status is looking for Week 5.

Kyren Williams (hip) won’t practice Wednesday; expected to play Sunday
Kyren Williams (hip) won’t practice on Wednesday but is expected to be good to go for Week 5 against the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Williams is dealing with a minor hip contusion that he suffered in Week 4 and will miss Wednesday’s practice because of it. HC Sean McVay told reporters that it’s just a precautionary move and that he expects him to play in Week 5. He should be good to go and is a solid RB2/flex play in a tougher matchup against Philadelphia’s defense.
