WR - Los Angeles Rams - OUT
68°Availability
Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp has been ruled out by head coach Sean McVay ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
With the Rams set to have Week 6 off with a bye, there is further incentive to hold Kupp out, as he will have two weeks to rest, the expectation as was reported by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Kupp as not yet returned to practice, so until that happens, there should be little reason to expect him to return to real-game action. In the meantime, the Rams are running a three-man WR rotation of Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson and rookie Jordan Whittington, with Puka Nacua still likely a month away, per Fowler.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is expected to miss at least the next two weeks, per Jay Glazer's report on Fox NFL Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The timeline for Kupp is in line with the initial diagnosis and with the Rams having a bye week in Week 6, indicating they do not plan on rushing the star wide receiver back. With Kupp and Puka Nacua out, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, and Colby Parkinson should see an increase in targets over the next few weeks.
Cooper Kupp (ankle) is no longer in a cast and is doing light drills off to the side at Los Angeles' practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Kupp was put in a cast over a week ago to try and address the swelling in his ankle, but it has since been removed. He was doing some light drills off to the side at practice on Wednesday, and it looks like he's progressing relatively well in his recovery. It'll be a little while before he's ready to take the field, but fantasy managers should have optimism that he will be back sometime sooner rather than later.
The Rams have officially ruled out WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) for Week 3.
Fantasy Impact
Kupp is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is expected to spend a week in cast, so the news here is not surprising. Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, and Tutu Atwell should see addition targets in Kupp's absence.
Cooper Kupp has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain and will spend a week in a cast to help the swelling.
Fantasy Impact
Kupp left Sunday's game early after suffering an ankle injury, and it has officially been diagnosed as a high-ankle sprain. He's going to spend a week in a cast in an effort to help the swelling, but the team isn't planning on putting him on injured reserve for the time being. That's a positive sign that he could return sometime within the next 3-5 weeks, but that will depend on how his recovery goes.
