Cooper Kupp Day-To-Day With Ankle Injury
Cooper Kupp is being labeled day-to-day after he suffered a minor ankle injury in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Kupp sprained his ankle late in the game but turned in an eight-catch, 79 yards, and one touchdown performance. Kupp fantasy managers should stay up to date with his latest news. It doesn't sound like he'll have to miss time, but things can change in a hurry and he'd be a huge loss as one of the elite fantasy pieces in the entire NFL. If he has to miss time, Allen Robinson, Van Jefferson, and Ben Skowronek will all be on the fantasy radar against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cooper Kupp Asking For $15 Million Per Year
Cooper Kupp has been asking for as much as $15 million per year on the open market, sources tell The Athletic's Jeff Howe. However, Howe writes that it sounds as though the former Los Angeles Rams wideout would take less for a preferred destination -- it's been reported that he'd like to stay on the West Coast. The 31-year-old doesn't want a long, drawn-out free-agent process and should pick a new team sooner than later, with it being reported that at least five teams are interested. The Jacksonville Jaguars are not one of those teams, but the receiver-needy New England Patriots have reached out. It has also been reported that the Dallas Cowboys are interested, although they aren't considered the front-runners. Kupp has lost a step or two due to lower-body injuries in recent seasons, but the former Pro Bowler could still have fantasy value in the right situation.

Cowboys Not Considered Favorites For Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp. At first glance, the Cowboys seemed to emerge as favorites considering they have the cap space and need for a standout wideout such as Kupp. Despite that, the Cowboys are not being considered the likely landing spot for the All-Pro receiver. There have been a handful of teams mentioned to be in the mix for Kupp such as the Saints, Jaguars, Seahawks, and Broncos. It doesn't sound like Kupp wants to draw out this process, so he should decide relatively soon. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but is still an above average receiver when healthy. The combination of CeeDee Lamb and Kupp in Dallas is a nice thought on paper, but doesn't seem extremely likely to happen right now.

Cowboys Making Push For Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp. The 31-year-old wideout was recently released by the Los Angeles Rams after the team failed to find a trade partner for him. The Cowboys have over $40 million in cap space and a need for a No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb. There is likely going to be plenty of teams in the mix for Kupp, but the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks seem like the favorites. Last season, Kupp hauled in 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns across 12 games with the Rams. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but he can still be a viable option in plenty of offenses.

Jaguars Not Interested In Cooper Kupp, Whose Price Is "Insane"
Cooper Kupp to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources have told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that the Jaguars are not interested. Sources also tell Schultz that the sense around the NFL is that the former Los Angeles Rams wideout doesn't plan on having a drawn-out free-agent process and prefers to make his decision quickly. The 31-year-old veteran reportedly has interest from at least five teams, with the Boston Sports Journal's Mike Giardi saying that the New England Patriots are one of those teams. It's believed that Kupp prefers to stay on the West Coast, though, and a league source told Giardi that Kupp's current asking price is "insane" compared to where he's at in his career. The former third-rounder can still play a key role on offense, but serious lower-body injuries in recent seasons have sapped him of the elite athleticism that helped him earn the NFL's receiving Triple Crown in 2021.
