Cooper Kupp likely headed to IR Left ankle sprain By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 16, 6:40 pm
| | Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp will miss "an extended period of time" with a left ankle sprain, coach Sean McVay said on Monday.
Kupp left the Rams' 41-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday with the injury. He is a candidate for injured reserve, McVay said, which is a decision the head coach said the team expects to make either Monday or Tuesday. (ESPN.com - Sarah Barshop)
FFToday's Take: The Rams likely win the award for the most injury-ravaged team through two weeks. Los Angeles already has two offensive linemen on IR and are expected to put another there this week, joining Puka Nacua (knee). Because the Rams' bye week is Week 6, the earliest Kupp could return from IR is Week 8 (assuming he is placed there). Without Kupp and Nacua, Matthew Stafford will be forced to rely heavily on Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington.
| Puka Nacua lands on IR Aggravation of preseason knee injury By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 9, 4:20 pm
| | Rams WR Puka Nacua aggravated his summer knee injury Sunday night vs. the Lions and, while he still is going through additional testing, he is expected to be considered week to week, per sources. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: While this is not a season-ending bad kind of injury for Nacua, it is not a great sign that he was unable to make it through a full game after going the rest-and-rehab path for about a month in August. Fantasy managers should probably not expect Nacua to return before the start of October. Tyler Johnson filled in very capably after Nacua's exit and appeared to be the direct backup for Nacua - as opposed to preseason standout Jordan Whittington - and should be targeted on waivers this week. Cooper Kupp should continue to see alpha usage moving forward, while Demarcus Robinson should also enjoy a slight bump in his fantasy stock.
