Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is coming off a rough showing, failing to catch any of his three targets in the Week 15 win over the 49ers. However, outside of the hideous effort versus San Francisco, the wideout has played well during the 2024-25 campaign, catching 63 passes for 657 yards and six touchdowns. With the Jets on tap for Week 16, the Rams need a win to increase their chances of making the playoffs. The Jets defense has allowed only 10 touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season. Still, even with Puka Nacua commanding plenty of attention from Matthew Stafford from week-to-week, Kupp's upside keeps him a must-start in Week 16.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was unable to catch any of his three targets during Thursday's divisional victory over the San Francisco 49ers. This was a frustrating night for the veteran wideout, as he was unable to impact the box score. This was the first time Kupp finished with zero fantasy points this season, and this was also his lowest target share of the campaign. Despite the disappointing results, fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Kupp's fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season. Over his previous six games, the 31-year-old averaged 9.3 targets and 6.7 receptions per game. During this span, Kupp tallied 76.5 yards per contest and even scored four touchdowns during this span. While his matchup against the New York Jets next weekend is not ideal, given that they have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, it is hard not to expect a bounce-back given his stable production all season.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is in a tough matchup in a divisional road game on Thursday Night Football against the 49ers. He had a good game last week with seven catches on seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. That total was a big bounce-back performance for Kupp after he totaled just 77 yards in his two previous games. He is averaging 9.3 targets per game in his last six games and has scored four touchdowns in his last four games, so he does have potential WR1 upside if he finds the end zone. However, he's clearly behind Puka Nacua in terms of targets in the Rams' offense, and with all 32 teams in play, he ranks outside the top 10 this week against the 49ers, who have allowed the fourth-fewest points to wide receivers this season.
Dec 11, 2024 3:29 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp brought in five of his eight targets on Sunday against the Bills and finished with 92 receiving yards. He caught his sixth touchdown of the season with an acrobatic catch at the goal line in the third quarter of the Rams' impressive 44-42 win over Buffalo. It was a nice bounce-back game for Kupp after just 17 yards against the Saints, and he now has four scores in his last four games and is up to 657 yards for the season. He is a solid WR2 with WR1 upside for this week's matchup with the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. He has missed the Rams last three matchups with the Niners but has 40 catches for 441 yards and two touchdowns in his last four games against his division foes.
Dec 9, 2024 7:54 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is a strong option this week against the Bills since the Rams will need to be aggressive to keep up with the high-scoring Bills. He saw a drop in volume last week vs. the Saints and only had three catches for 17 yards on six targets. All of those were season-lows for the eighth-year veteran, but he is expected to bounce back this week. Kupp had double-digit targets in three of four games before last week, reaching over 100 yards in two of those contests while totaling three touchdowns. On the season, he's averaging over 70 yards per game and has five scores. The Bills have been the second-best team in the NFL at limiting wide receiver production, but with his volume back to normal, Kupp is still RotoBaller's WR8 this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught three of six targets for just 17 yards during Sunday's Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints. This was Kupp's worst game of the season in terms of receptions, yardage, and fantasy points. He had been the overall WR3 over the last five weeks before Sunday's outing sunk his average and points total. On one hand, Kupp was drastically out-produced by Puka Nacua, suggesting Nacua may be Matthew Stafford's preferred option going forward. On the other hand, this was clearly an anomalous outing for the entire Rams' passing game, including Stafford, whose 183 yards represented his second-lowest mark of the season. Look for Kupp to bounce back as a mid-to-high fantasy WR1 in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.
Dec 2, 2024 12:47 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is coming off another strong performance, catching eight of his 11 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Week 12 loss to the Eagles. Although he missed time this season due to injury, he's been relatively consistent in most of his appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. With a favorable matchup on the horizon versus a Saints defense that has surrendered nearly 2,000 yards to opposing wideouts this season, the fifth-worse mark in the NFL, Kupp's ceiling is higher than usual.
Nov 30, 2024 12:25 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp gets a favorable Week 13 matchup when he squares off against the New Orleans Saints on the road. Kupp and fellow wideout Puka Nacua have been stellar in the Rams' offense since returning from their respective injuries, dominating the target share of quarterback Matthew Stafford. They'll get another opportunity to shine this weekend against a Saints defense that has been a sieve for opposing offenses -- particularly their passing attacks. New Orleans has allowed the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL through Week 12 and is giving up 37.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers -- the sixth-highest of all squads. With his pristine role in Los Angeles' pass attack fully secured, fantasy managers can trust the 31-year-old as a top-flight option at his position. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR7 in this week's rankings.
Nov 29, 2024 9:35 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught eight of his 11 targets for 60 yards and one touchdown during Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. His touchdown came on a 27-yard pass from Matthew Stafford with just 72 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He now has 55 catches, 548 yards, and five touchdowns through seven games this season. Even though he has been less productive than teammate Puka Nacua over the last few weeks, Kupp should continue to be treated as a solid WR1 option heading into next week's game against the New Orleans Saints.
Nov 25, 2024 12:45 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had six catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 11 win over the New England Patriots. The wideout suffered an ankle injury in the Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Fortunately, he was back on the field for the Thursday night meeting with the Vikings back in October. Since then, Kupp has played well, amassing 29 receptions and three trips to the end zone in the last four games. Despite a tough matchup with the Eagles defense on tap for Week 12, Kupp remains a welcome addition to any fantasy lineup.
Nov 23, 2024 2:50 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp finished Sunday's win over the Patriots by amassing six receptions (10 targets) for 106 yards. He also found the end zone twice, bringing his total to four during the 2024-25 campaign. Without question, the wideout has been on a roll, catching 24 passes from Matthew Stafford in the last three games. Of course, Kupp still remains a starting fantasy option in the Week 12, Sunday Night Football matchup with Philadelphia. He just may have a tougher time being as productive against a challenging Eagles defense.
Nov 17, 2024 7:53 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp looks to continue his impressive stretch of games this Sunday against the New England Patriots. Kupp has totaled 23 catches, 235 yards, and one touchdown through three games since returning from injury, giving him 15+ fantasy points (PPR) in all three of those contests. This week, Kupp faces a Patriots defense that has been susceptible to the pass when tested. Of course, the Patriots have trailed for most of this season, so it's common for their opponents to run the ball more than they pass, especially as the clock winds down later in the game. With that said, the Patriots have still been thrown against. The Patriots' defense is allowing the 11th-most receptions and touchdown catches to opposing wide receivers, but the 15th-fewest fantasy points to the position. Even with a modest matchup on tap, Kupp has proven that he is matchup-proof and should be deployed in all leagues. Fantasy managers can trust him as a low-end fantasy WR1 this weekend.
Nov 16, 2024 9:27 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp hauled in all seven of his targets for 80 yards during Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He played 90 percent of offensive snaps but saw his second-lowest target total of the season. Although he was out-produced by Puka Nacua on Monday, both players are dependable options in fantasy football, ranking as fringe WR1 options at the moment. Kupp is averaging 18.4 fantasy points per game (PPR) this season and should be started in all leagues heading into next weekend's clash on the East Coast versus the New England Patriots.
Nov 12, 2024 12:57 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is coming off a tremendous performance during last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Kupp hauled in 11 of his 14 targets for 104 yards as he torched that secondary all game long. The veteran wideout missed four games due to injury, but is back now and hasn't missed a beat. Kupp figures to continue being a focal point on offense after playing in 92 percent of the snaps last week. He heads into a matchup against the Miami Dolphins who have struggled at times to contain the passing game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Kupp losing a step as he should be plugged in as a strong WR1 for this weekend.
Nov 9, 2024 7:02 PM EST
It is safe to say that the high ankle sprain that kept Cooper Kupp sidelined for five weeks (including a bye) is no longer an issue. In the Rams' 26-20 win over the Seahawks on Sunday the wide receiver had 11 catches on 14 targets for 104 yards, leading the team in each category. Kupp was heavily favored by quarterback Matthew Stafford even before Puka Nacua's ejection just before halftime, collecting nine targets in the first half alone. Also encouraging was seeing his snap share leap up another week removed from his injury. After participating in just over half of the Rams' plays last week against the Vikings, Kupp was on the field for 63 of 77 offensive snaps in the Rams' overtime victory. Los Angeles gets Miami in Week 10 and even though the Dolphins have been more susceptible to the run than the pass this year, Kupp's rapport with Stafford keeps him in must-start territory.
Nov 4, 2024 3:54 AM EST
The Athletic's Dianna Russini doesn't expect the Los Angeles Rams to trade veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp by Tuesday's NFL trade deadline despite being open to moving him this time a week ago. On the flip side, the Rams are trying to move cornerback Tre'Davious White. Kupp returned last Thursday night in the win over the Minnesota Vikings from an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 2. The 31-year-old caught five of his eight target for 51 yards and a touchdown and now has 23 catches on 35 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns in his three games played in 2024. Kupp took a back seat to second-year wideout Puka Nacua, who was returning from a knee injury he suffered in Week 1, but as long as Kupp is able to remain healthy the rest of the way, he'll be a must-start fantasy receiver. He should be considered a low-end WR1 on Sunday versus the division-rival Seattle Seahawks.
Nov 2, 2024 1:47 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp looks to return to WR1 form after his solid return in Week 8, even though fellow wideout Puka Nacua (knee) overshadowed him. He caught five passes on eight targets for 51 yards and a receiving touchdown. Week 9 presents a solid matchup against a Seattle Seahawks defense that ranks 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers. Nacua's status against Seattle is uncertain, meaning more targets could be heading Kupp's way if Nacua is ruled out. Darius Slayton, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Khalil Shakir have all gone over 100 yards receiving in recent weeks against them. The Rams' offense seems to be back in peak form with all of their weapons back. Expect his target share to continue to go up each week, as history has shown when Matthew Stafford is under center. Kupp should be started with confidence in all lineups and check in as RotoBaller's WR10 in the Week 9 rankings.
Nov 2, 2024 8:13 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp returned from his four-game absence at the same time Puka Nacua came back, and they brought the offensive firepower along with them. Kupp registered eight targets, five receptions, 51 yards, and one touchdown to help push the team to a 3-4 record with the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The only other pass-catcher with more targets was Nacua, and Kupp finished with the second-most receiving yards and longest catch of the game. He'll look to keep this momentum going in a Week 9 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
Oct 25, 2024 9:54 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is off the injury report and is expected to play on Thursday evening according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Kupp has been sidelined since Week 3 after suffering an ankle injury during the second week of the season. In the season opener, the former Super Bowl MVP caught an impressive 14 receptions for 110 yards and a score off 21 targets. Before leaving early in Week 2, Kupp brought in four of his six targets. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting the 31-year-old in all formats on Thursday night as he should see a hefty target share and have top-10 positional upside in PPR formats facing a Minnesota defense who has allowed the most points to opposing wideouts.
Oct 23, 2024 4:14 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) both practiced on Tuesday. Kupp was a full participant in practice and Nacua was limited. Kupp appeared to be on his way to playing in the Rams' Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders but he was likely held out with the quick turnaround to Thursday. Nacua was designated to return from injured reserve this week and any level of practice participation from him is a welcome sign. Kupp and Nacua are a formidable duo. The two combined for 2,223 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2023 despite Kupp missing five games. Nacua recorded four receptions for 35 yards in Week 1 before his injury. Kupp has 18 receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown in his two games in 2024. While Kupp seems like a safe bet to return in Week 8 when the Rams face the Minnesota Vikings, fantasy managers will need to monitor Nacua to see how he fares at Wednesday's practice. Either way, it seems as though Nacua is close to returning to the field. Kupp will get to face the No. 32 defense against opposing wide receivers in fantasy upon his presumed return in Week 8. He should be right back in fantasy lineups if he plays.
