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.

Saints WR Chris Olave was carted off the field Sunday against the Panthers and was later ruled out with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Olave took a hard hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods and it wasn't long before he was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Woods was flagged for unnecessary roughness as a result of the play. Olave was taken to a local hospital but the good news is he has movement in all of his extremities.

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.

Drake Maye clears concussion protocol, will play Sunday

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.
