The Los Angeles Rams will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Cooper Kupp.
Is Cooper Kupp Playing in Week 18?
Kupp is not injured but was listed as doubtful due to a coach’s decision. The Rams have locked up the NFC West, and Kupp has already missed four games this season with an ankle injury. There’s no sense in risking losing him right before the playoffs.
We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Cooper Kupp’s Fantasy Outlook
I’m not willing to say that Cooper Kupp and Father Time are in a battle, but these past three weeks have certainly poured gasoline on that topic.
- 67 routes
- 53 yards
- Nine targets
- Four catches
- Zero touchdowns
That’s brutal. His aDOT over that stretch (9.0) isn’t much different than his season rate (8.1), so that leads me to believe that there might be a health issue at play. Either that, random variance, or the most pronounced age cliff in recent memory.
I’ll sort out which of those buckets gets the most blame over the offseason. It will definitely be a situation to monitor moving forward.
