Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) was unable to avoid the IR with his hamstring issue before the season started. According to Sarah Barshop of ESPN, head coach Sean McVay was reluctant to give a timeline and said that the Rams are "hopeful" that the star receiver can return by Week 5 as they previously planned. They knew that he would have to miss their first four games once they made the decision to move him to the IR, but his return in Week 5 isn't set in stone right now. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates as the tentative return date approaches.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens finished with four receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in a 26-22 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The 22-year-old led Pittsburgh's pass-catchers in targets and yards on Monday night and was the team's only offensive player to find the end zone. He did so after getting wide open over the middle of the field and taking a pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett 71 yards to the house. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Pickens should continue to be the clear WR1 for the Steelers through their Week 6 bye. Pickens will look to capitalize on his opportunity once again in Week 3 in a soft matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
