Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for 320 yards and 2 TDs on 23 of 30 passing in Sunday's win over Buffalo. His passing yardage marked the second-highest by a QB against the Bills this season. He’s also now gone four straight games without an INT.
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.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He'll play vs. the Vikings on Thursday night for the first time since Week 2. Kupp carries elevated risk coming off a significant ankle injury, but he also has WR1-level fantasy upside. He went for a 14-110-1 line on 21 targets in his only full game of the season. Minnesota ranks 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp is being shopped by the team. The Rams have apparently contacted several teams and are asking for a 2nd round pick. The team is willing to take on some of his salary in 2024 to get this return. As the Rams continue losing, they may view their window having closed to contend for a championship.
Rams HC Sean McVay said after Sunday's win over the Raiders that he expects WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) back for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. Kupp got in three limited practices last week and was seemingly close to playing vs. Vegas. He'll return against a Minnesota defense that entered Week 7 ranked 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs -- and then gave up 172 yards and two TDs to Lions WRs.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He got in three limited practices this week, but the team is wisely being cautious with his return from this significant ankle injury. We’re expecting Kupp to play next week. His absence again leaves Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, and Demarcus Robinson as the Rams’ top three WRs. See where they land in the Week 7 WR Rankings.
ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Rams WR Cooper Kupp (hamstring) "unlikely" to play vs. the Raiders today. "Rams still want to work out Kupp pre-game before making any decision about him," Schefter adds. We'll look for additional updates on Kupp, but he should be on fantasy benches for now. We won't get the Rams' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET. Schefter also confirms that WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play. He'll join Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson as the Rams' top three WRs if Kupp is out.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week. HC Sean McVay sounded optimistic about Kupp’s progress throughout the week, so we’re tentatively projecting him to play. The Rams won’t release their inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday, but we should get at least one more update on Kupp before then. He’ll be worth starting for the vast majority of fantasy teams if he ends up playing. WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is also listed as questionable but is fully expected to play.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice. Consider it good news that he was able to get on the field for a second consecutive day. We continue to project Kupp to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, but we'll see how he's listed on Friday's final injury report.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Sean McVay said before practice that the plan was to have Kupp do individual drills but not full-team work. "There's a possibility that he'll play, but we'll see how today goes," McVay said. "He's trending in the right direction, but we'll see exactly what that means as the week progresses." We'll update Kupp's status again on Thursday.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) had a "positive workout" on Monday and it's "at least possible" that he returns for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "The next step is to see when he practices and how it goes," Rapoport adds. "The team will gather more info, but [Monday] presented good news." We'll keep a close eye on Kupp's participation level in practices on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We're tentatively projecting him to play against Vegas.
Rams HC Sean McVay said Monday that WR Cooper Kupp's availability for this weekend's game against the Raiders remains uncertain. "There is a possibility he could be ready this week; there's also a possibility that he might not be ready. So today is a big day for him," McVay said. Kupp won't practice with the team on Monday but will have a "high-workload session" with the training staff to determine his Week 7 status, according to The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. Kupp's participation level in Wednesday's official practice should give us a good indication of his availability for the Raiders game.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer confirms that Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 5 vs. the Packers. Kupp then gets a Week 6 bye and has a good chance to return for Week 7's meeting with the Raiders. We'll keep you updated on his progress. Kupp owners should continue keeping him stashed on benches.
Rams HC Sean McVay confirmed on Monday that WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) will not play vs. the Bears this weekend. Kupp has not been placed on IR, but we're unlikely to see him before the Rams return from their Week 6 bye.
