Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Rashod Bateman

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.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman tied for the second-most targets on the team with Odell Beckham Jr. and J.K. Dobbins in the Week 1 win over the Houston Texans. The speedy wideout out of Minnesota finished with 35 yards on three catches and no scores. One of the biggest unknowns heading into this season for the Ravens was which receiver would emerge as the number-one option. Bateman wasn't the alpha this time around, but that could change if he continues to be a reliable pass-catcher. He'll look for some more opportunities against division rival Cincinnati in Week 2.
