Cooper Kupp Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had a down game in Week 6, and it looks like those struggles could continue in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears are allowing just 17.4 points per game to the wide receiver position, and their cornerbacks are playing lights-out. The one advantage that Kupp may have in this game is that he plays primarily out of the slot. With cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyle Fuller primarily operating on the outside, that gives Kupp the easier matchup against Buster Skrine. Against a strong Bears Defense on Monday night, Kupp should be considered more of a low-end RB2 play. He just hasn't found the connection with quarterback Jared Goff this year yet that his fantasy managers expected.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been one of the NFL's best wide receivers since he entered the league, but that was not the case in the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He caught just three of his nine targets for 11 yards. Kupp has generally been at least a WR2 in most weeks, but this wasn't the case. With bye weeks and injuries, you likely can't afford to have Kupp head to your bench, regardless of the matchup. He'll have better weeks in easier matchups, but his quiet start to the season is something to monitor.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is off to a slow start compared to how he played last season -- he finished as the WR4 on the year -- but against a beaten up San Francisco 49ers secondary, Kupp has a chance to do some damage in Week 6. The 49ers are expected to be without cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) for this week, and they're missing several other key playmakers as well. Operating out of the slot, Kupp has remained the lead target for quarterback Jared Goff, as he has 36 targets on the season. He's had a couple of decent games in the past couple of weeks, and it looks like he's poised for another solid week.
