Cooper Kupp Looks To Bounce Back Against Arizona

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp will look to bounce back against the Cardinals after posting back-to-back down weeks at the worst possible time for his fantasy investors. He was shut out in Week 15 and managed just three catches for 24 receiving yards in Week 16 against the Jets. Kupp has taken a […]
