BALLER MOVE: Start if Kupp is cleared to play against the Las Vegas Raiders
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR3
ANALYSIS: Cooper Kupp started hot in Week 1, finishing with 21 targets for 14 receptions, 110 yards, and one touchdown. He then went down in Week 2 against the Cardinals with an ankle injury and has been sidelined since.
The Los Angeles Rams are coming off their bye week at 1-4 and desperately need a spark. Injuries have slowed their season, and losing Kupp on top of wideout Puka Nacua has been too much to overcome.

It's pretty clear that Kupp and quarterback Matthew Stafford have a total mind-meld out there and Kupp hasn't shown any major signs of slowing down despite his recent run of bad injury luck.
We shouldn't expect the Kupp we saw in 2021 when he won the triple crown with 145 receptions for 1,947 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, but he's still a very good player.
There's a chance that Kupp could be on a limited snap count in Week 7 and his status is still "to be determined" for the game, but there is plenty of upside for Kupp to shine.
Starting him in Week 7 will ultimately come down to your personal risk tolerance and other options at wide receiver.
