Cooper Kupp News
Thursday, September 17, 5:39 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (back) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Kupp was limited in practice on Wednesday with a back injury, but it appears he is trending toward being good to go for his team's Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The 33-year-old recorded two catches for 35 yards on three targets in Seattle's Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. Kupp was on the field for 78% of the Seahawks' offensive snaps against New England, second most among Seattle receivers behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba. However, Kupp averaged just 4.4 targets per game while playing the WR2 role in Seattle in 2025 and will now be catching passes from backup quarterback Drew Lock for at least one week. Assuming he's able to play in Week 2, Kupp profiles as a deep-league flex option at best for fantasy managers.

Van Jefferson News
Sunday, August 30, 3:46 PM
The Washington Commanders have released veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. He had been in camp as a depth option for the Commanders, who watched Deebo Samuel Sr. depart in free agency. His departure confirms that Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Treylon Burks, and Dyami Brown have made the team as depth behind Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, and Antonio Williams. This preseason, Jefferson caught four passes for 48 yards. The 30-year-old will now look to join his sixth team in five years. He has finished as WR88 or worse in five of his six pro seasons, so even if he does end up on a different 53-man roster, it's unlikely that he would have any sort of fantasy relevance. He can be left on waivers in all leagues.
