Breaking news to start The Insiders on NFL Network: Davante Adams is joining the Rams, agreeing to terms on a 2-year, $46M deal.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Jordan Whittington

Very interesting landing spot for Adams, and all but assures that Kupp will be moving on before the start of the 2025 season. It wasn't long ago that we were completely in the air about what the Rams' offense would look like, but they brought Stafford back and made it a point to go get Adams in case they end up shipping out Kupp. Possibly a small hit to Nacua's immediate ceiling, but this landing spot keeps Adams in the WR2 conversation now that he is out of the stench of New York.

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.

TheAthletic.com reports that the Rams have spoken to multiple teams about trading Cooper Kupp, who has been out since Week Two with an ankle injury.

Per the report, the Rams are looking for a second-round pick in return for the wideout and that they are open to pay some of Kupp’s remaining salary for the 2024 season as part of the deal, the story said. Kupp is expected to play Thursday night and that game could very week be a showcase for the veteran WR. There are several WR-needy teams at this point in the season and teams have been in contact with the Rams about Kupp, according to the story. The Rams have just two wins this season and Nacua has been designated to return from his injury. The team also has Atwell and Whittington who are still young but seem to be developing because of having to play the last several weeks.

Sean McVay said Cooper Kupp's workload for Thursday Night Football vs. Vikings is "to be determined."

The post went on to quote McVay, "That'll be something that as we're putting it together and really diving into it, we'll have a better feel for," McVay said. "But definitely excited to have him back." Kupp sounds like he could be a risky fantasy play this Thursday night, or, it could be coach-speak. The Rams sure could use Kupp back in the lineup but fantasy owners should probably be realistic about his fantasy potential - at least this week. The good news is the Rams will likely need to play catch-up against a good Vikiings offense on Thursday night. Johnson and Atwell led the way last week against the Raiders. Hopefully we'll get more indication about Kupp's usage for Week 8.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. Raiders. Sean McVay says decision could come closer to the game.

Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play vs. Raiders, Sean McVay said. OL Joe Noteboom (ankle) will not be activated from IR this week.

We would obivously rather have a clear understanding of the WR room heading into the weekend, but as it stands, Kupp should re-join the team and be considered a fantasy WR2 if he suits up.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp will workout with trainers today but no determination has been made about his availability for Sunday’s game against Raiders, McVay said. Puka Nacua will not practice this week.

There was some hope before the bye week that Kupp would be ready to go in Week 7, and that still looks like it could be possible, however certainly not a lock at this point. Owners will want to monitor Kupp's status leading up to Week 7 games. The Rams host the Raiders in a later Sunday game, so the matchup would be a nice one, but waiting on Kupp will come with risks if he's a game-time call. If Kupp can't go, the Rams have been going with a combination of Robinson, Atwell, Whittington and Johnson at the wideout position, all of which come with their own risks if in your lineup.

Cooper Kupp has missed three games, and the Rams are on their off week this week.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp’s return for Week 7 would be “an ideal target” but “by no means is that guaranteed.”

Kupp has not played since Week 2 when he injured his ankle against the Cardinals. The Rams did not place him on injured reserve, hoping he would miss fewer than four games, the story said. Kupp's return will help a banged up Rams WR group that still has Nacua out of commission. Whittington went for 7-89-0 and was targeted 10 times as well Atwell who finished 6-58-0 last week. Robinson had the lone TD catch but had a 3-28-1 line on five targets. Parkinson was targeted a team-high 13 times and went for 7-52-0.

There won’t be any suspense about wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s status this week.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday that Kupp has been ruled out for the team’s Week 4 game against the Bears.

Kupp injured his ankle in Week 2. The story said the early decision to rule him out suggests he’ll be off the practice field again this week, but the team did not put Kupp on injured reserve so it would seem they expect him to play by Week 7 — they have a bye in Week Six — at the latest. Atwell led the way with a 4-93-0 line with Robinson going for 1-32-0. Whittington added a line of 3-28-0 and Johnson had 3-20-0. With Puka Nacua also out for at least two more weeks, the Rams WR situation seems a bit tricky for fantasy owners.

Rams star WR Cooper Kupp suffered a high-ankle sprain in LA’s loss on Sunday, and he’ll spend the next week or so in a cast helping the swelling calm down, sources said.

The team did not place him on Injured Reserve, as there is still a chance he’s ready within four weeks.

A little bit of good news bad news here, as Kupp may not miss more than four games, but it still seems like it will be significant time. As it stands, Robinson is the most experienced option and will be the most likely option to lead the team in routes, with Johnson closely behind.

If you missed out on them through waiver runs and still want a piece of this offense, Whittington is the wild card, and should be targeted in deeper leagues.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp and left guard Jonah Jackson are both set to miss extended time after suffering injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Kupp hurt his ankle and Jackson aggravated a shoulder injury.

McVay also confirmed that safety John Johnson will miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury. He called all three players candidates for injured reserve.

With Nacua already on IR, the Rams offense is taking another hit with the loss of Kupp. Robinson and Johnson could take over as the team's top two, but those of you in the dynasty community may be high on Whittington, who has drawn comparisons to Nacua. Any of the three are worth picking up, and could get significant time over the next month at least.
