Cooper Kupp Expected To Play In Week 9
2 years agoThe Los Angeles Rams said on Monday that wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is dealing with "tissue swelling in his ankle," but he is still expected to play in the Week 9 showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kupp, the WR1 in fantasy last season, tweaked his ankle at the tail end of the Week 8 loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday and was seen limping after the game, but he apparently dodged a serious injury and is not expected to miss a game. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his practice participation this week, but as of now, you can plan on keeping the All-Pro pass-catcher in your starting lineups. If Kupp is limited at all, it could open up targets for Allen Robinson II, Ben Skowronek, tight end Tyler Higbee and Van Jefferson.
