Rams WR Cooper Kupp healthy, feeling good

Jul 30, 2024

During an appearance on NFL Network Monday, Cooper Kupp said that his good health and the chance to work out with quarterback Matthew Stafford has him feeling primed for a return to his desired form.

“I feel good. We got a lot of good work in this offseason,” Kupp said. “The best thing about this last year was just being able to feel healthy and have a full offseason of work, not just for myself in terms of working out and building my body back up but also having that time with Matthew, being able to get on the field and work through things together.

Fantasy Impact:

The key for Kupp has been his ability to get a normal offseason under his belt. Kupp ended the 2022 season on injured reserve and then started the 2023 season the same way, which has helped make it feel like it’s been even longer since he was the NFL’s offensive player of the year, the story said. The story added this offseason has been a lot smoother for Kupp. He returned from a hamstring injury to play 13 games last year and he’s been able to work without any health concerns since the Rams’ season ended against the Lions in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Ezekiel Elliott (disciplinary reasons) to be inactive vs. Falcons

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Falcons due to disciplinary reasons.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott will not even travel with the team to Atlanta. The Cowboys elevated Dalvin Cook from the practice squad to help fill out the depth chart. With Elliott out, Rico Dowdle is in line for an increase in work, though it is a tough matchup against one of the better run defenses in the league this season in Atlanta. Dowdle is an RB3/Flex while Cook is a deeper-league option and maybe a bit of a desperation play.

Patriots QB Drake Maye cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Maye suffered the concussion last week against the Jets on a hit by linebacker Jamien Sherwood that landed the defender a fine. The Titans usually sport one of the better defenses but cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will not play. Still, given the worries about the offense, Maye ranks outside our top 25 quarterbacks this week.

Rams expected to have Puka Nacua Sunday, reportedly on team plane

The Rams are expected to have WR Puka Nacua (knee) available for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

Nacua suffered a knee injury during practice this week but the injury was not expected to be considered serious. According to Russini, Nacua is on the team plane to Seattle. If Nacua can go, he will be one of the better fantasy options. He is currently WR18 on our board in a pretty favorable matchup against the Seahawks.
