The Los Angeles Rams are getting both star receivers Puka Nacua and Copper Kupp back from injury tonight for Thursday Night Football.
The Los Angeles Rams get great news that both star receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are back in the lineup tonight for Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime. Kupp was already eyeing this week as his return date but Nacua returning is a big surprise this week. Both receivers have a great connection with quarterback Matt Stafford and this will be the first game that both are on the field at the same time this season. Nacua has been out all season with a knee injury sustained in training camp. Kupp is returning since his week 2 injury against the Lions. Both receivers are not expected to be 100% healthy, but both are better than the other options that the Rams have been trotting out on the field.
Injuries at wide receiver has been a major thorn in the side of fantasy owners, the ones with Nucua and Kupp can rejoice at their return to the field. At this point, Kupp looks to be the healthier of the two. Puka is expected to be on a snap count. With that said this offense is full throttle with both receivers available, the Rams can finally run this offense the way it was meant to be run. This game will determine if the Rams are true contenders in the NFL this season. The arrow is pointing up on all Rams offensive players.

Wide reciever Cooper Kupp is targeting for a week seven return from injury for the Los Angeles Rams.
Star reciever Cooper Kupp is aiming for a week seven return from a high ankle sprain suffered in the week two loss against the Cardinals. Rams head coach relayed that information to The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue this week. This will be a big boon for the Rams struggling offense who is already missing their other star reciever Puka Nacua due to injury also.
Hopefully you had an IR spot for Kupp’s injury in your league. Kupp has been one of the most prolific recievers in the league playing with quarterback Matthew Stafford. Kupp may be slow back out the gates, because an high ankle ankle sprain will not be completely healed until after the season. With that said you cannot sit him in this offense. Wheels up for Kupp when he returns to the lineup.

Cooper Kupp is a candidate for IR after suffering an ankle injury that will keep him out for awhile.
The Los Angeles Rams are dropping like flies. After losing Puka Nacua to IR last week due to a knee injury. Cooper Kupp is likely to join him after suffering a ankle injury in the week 2 drubbing against the Cardinals. Adding insult to injury the Rams are now missing multiple offensive linemen along with the receivers.
Lions, tigers and injuries! Oh my! Look out fantasy players, this fantasy season is not for the weak. It is unlikely that any fantasy owner is coming unscathed from the injuries this week. The Rams offense is basically unplayable at the moment especially due the injuries to the offensive line. The best player left is running back Kyren Williams. The Rams may have to lean on their running game until they regain some healthy players. Matthew Stafford is a desperation play at the moment. Demarcus Robinson looks to the be top wideout left for the Rams. He is unlikely to produce as well as Kupp and Nacua.
The Rams will start Carson Wentz in week 18, giving Matthew Stafford a rest before playing in the playoffs.
Carson Wentz is going to play his first game for the Rams against the 49ers in week 18. The Rams have already booked their place in the playoffs and have decided to rest their starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford to prepare for the playoffs.
The last time Carson Wentz played in an NFL game was when he was with the Commanders in Week 17 over a year ago. It’s uncertain what his current form is like. However, he might have a chance to show his skills as the San Francisco 49ers have clinched the number one seed in the NFC and might rest some of their key players. This could make it somewhat easier for Wentz to put up a good performance against the 49ers’ defense.
It is expected that Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp, and Aaron Donald, among other notable stars, that will not play in week 18 for the Rams.
Cooper Kupp participated fully in Friday’s practice and is now confirmed to play in Week 12, according to Sean McVay.
Despite leaving last week’s game against the Seahawks due to a lateral ankle sprain, Cooper Kupp has managed to surprise everyone by having no injury designation heading to Arizona. Although fantasy managers have been disappointed with his on-field production this year, they should continue to be patient with him. As long as Kupp remains on the field, he is too good of a fantasy WR to be benched. Kupp will go into Sunday’s game with zero limitations.
The Arizona Cardinals are on deck this Sunday. In the sixth week of the season, Kupp had his best performance against Arizona. He caught 7 passes for 148 yards and scored his only touchdown of the season. As it is a crucial time in the fantasy season, it’s recommended to fire up Kupp once again in a smash-mouth matchup.
Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp goes on Injured Reserve, will be out at least 4 weeks.
After dealing with a hamstring injury suffered early last week, Cooper Kupp has officially been placed on IR, and will be out at least 4 weeks. There is also a chance that he may “miss more time”. A serious blow for those that drafted Kupp in the first round this year. The Rams have no intention to rush him back, so keep monitoring the situation when he looks to return after Week 5.
This is an obvious blow to the passing attack without many options behind him. Look to bump up Van Jefferson and Tyler Higbee for the time being, and wait for the usage in Week 1 for Puka Nacua.
