An injury-riddled 2018 season cost fantasy owners of Cooper Kupp dearly as the receiver had been on a trajectory for a huge fantasy season. Kupp originally sprained his ankle early in the season, only to return and then tear his ACL in Week 10. Prior to the ACL injury, however, Kupp was actually the Rams' most effective fantasy receiver, having caught six touchdowns in just eight games, including the Week 6 game when he saw just one target before spraining his ankle. That type of touchdown production was certainly in for some regression even if he didn't get hurt, but it does give us insight into the reality that Kupp isn't the typical "catch a ton of passes with no touches" type of slot receiver, at least within the context of the Rams' offense.
Kupp's upside, just like Woods and Cooks, is low-end WR1, but his floor is also likely no lower than a low-end WR2, assuming that he's able to stay healthy. All reports seem to be that Cupp is back and ready for the regular season, but he will likely not see much preseason action to give us much to review on field, but there's little reason to be worried about the knee at this point.

 Cooper Kupp will avoid PUP list when camp opens
Recovering from ACL injury

| | Good news for the @RamsNFL. WR Cooper Kupp will not be placed on PUP when training camp opens later this week, according to the team. It has been a long recovery from knee surgery but he has been cleared. His work load will be measured. (Steve Wyche on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Kupp tore is ACL in Week 10 last season so this a good sign in his recovery. He's certain to be limited in camp given his injury on November 11th and it won't be a surprise if he's on some kind of snap count early in the season. We'll get a better idea of his true Week 1 status over the coming month.
