Cooper Kupp Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is expected to miss six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery for his high ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kupp had looked great prior to the injury, amassing 75 catches, 812 yards, and six touchdowns through nine games. In order for Kupp to be activated before the end of the regular season, the Rams would need to be in contention for a playoff spot, meaning they need to bounce back from their current 3-6 record rather quickly. At this point, it seems unlikely that Kupp returns to the field in 2022.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is scheduled to have ankle surgery on Wednesday, and the team is placing him on Injured Reserve, according to head coach Sean McVay. Kupp will have to miss at least four games, and with the way the Rams season is going, it could be longer. The 29-year-old All-Pro pass-catcher is dealing with a pretty serious high-ankle sprain, and he's now unlikely to help his fantasy managers before the fantasy playoffs, if at all the rest of the 2022 season. With the Rams looking likely to miss the postseason, there's a chance they could end up shutting Kupp down altogether. He needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues until we have a better idea of his timetable. Moving forward, Allen Robinson II, Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek become more valuable in fantasy, as well as tight end Tyler Higbee.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp's (ankle) initial X-rays were negative, so he's likely looking at more of a high-ankle sprain instead of a serious fracture or break that would take a multi-month recovery into the offseason and spring workouts. However, Kupp will miss time, but his timetable is still being determined. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that a person familiar with Kupp's diagnosis said it "doesn't look good." High-ankle sprains can keep players out for up to six weeks, so Kupp could be out for over a month, depending on how he recovers. There's a chance that fantasy managers may not have the 29-year-old All-Pro before the playoffs start. In his absence, Allen Robinson II, Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek and Tyler Higbee will have elevated roles in the passing game. Perhaps the Rams look to go back to free-agent Odell Beckham Jr.
