    Is Cooper Kupp Playing in Week 7?

    Cooper Kupp was limited in every pre-Week 7 practice as he works his way back from spraining his ankle in Week 2. However, he still has a chance to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday.

    Head coach Sean McVay said Kupp would be questionable for Week 7, noting a decision on the star wideout’s status will be made closer to game time.

    “He is making good progress, and there’s a possibility that he’ll be ready to go,” McVay said.

    Kupp posted 18 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown before going down. The Rams had already placed fellow WR Puka Nacua on IR before Kupp got hurt, leaving Matthew Stafford with Jordan Whittington, Demarcus Robinson, and Tutu Atwell as his top receivers.

    Whittington (shoulder) was limited during practice this week, but McVay said he’ll play on Sunday.

    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.

    Should You Start or Sit Cooper Kupp in Week 7?

    And we are back! Probably. Likely.

    This is obviously a situation to monitor, but the second he is deemed active for the Rams is the second that Kupp is reinserted into your starting lineups. There are plenty of things to overthink in this fantasy world of ours, but this simply isn’t one of them.

    You shouldn’t need it for a man who saw 21 targets in a game this season. But if you do, here’s a note about the matchup to feel good about — twice have the Raiders seen a receiver earn double-digit targets against them this season (Diontae Johnson and Zay Flowers), and they coughed up over 90 yards and a touchdown in both instances.

    The Raiders have done what most thought was impossible through six weeks — they rank 25th in pressure rate despite having the machine known as Maxx Crosby on their roster. Matthew Stafford doesn’t need time to find Kupp, but if you give him extended time, where do you think he’s going with the ball?

    If the team is confident enough to bring him back, they are doing so knowing where the ball is likely to be headed 30-35% of the time.
