Rams WR Cooper Kupp was on the receiving end of 1 of QB Matt Stafford's 4 TDs in Thursday night's win over the Vikings. Stafford evaded two pass rushers while Kupp worked himself open in the back of the end zone for the 7-yard score in the second quarter. He also made a clutch 27-yard grab to convert a third-and-9 late in the fourth to essentially seal the win. Kupp finished the game with 5 catches on 8 targets for 51 yards and the score.
Kupp looked healthy in his first game back from his ankle injury, but his playing time was scaled back a bit. He played just 59% of the Rams' offensive snaps and ran a route on 82% of pass plays. He's usually at a 95-100% route rate. Expect him to get back to that level of playing time in Week 9.
There were rumors earlier this week that Kupp was a trade candidate. But the Rams are now 3-4 and back in the mix in the NFC West. "I'm really glad to have Cooper Kupp back with us and I expect it to stay that way," HC Sean McVay said after Thursday night's win.
Staying in Los Angeles is the best case for Kupp's fantasy value, considering his long-standing rapport with McVay and Stafford.
WR Puka Nacua out-targeted and out-gained Kupp vs. Minnesota and is the better fantasy bet going forward. But Kupp still looks like at least a higher-end WR2.
He has a fairly neutral schedule the rest of the way, with the only worrisome spot coming in Week 16 against the Jets.
