BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: After battling through injuries across the first half of the season, Kupp has started to look more like himself recently. The 30-year-old Rams slot man has now gone over 100 receiving yards with a TD in two straight for a surging L.A. squad that's won four of their last five games.
Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp are starting to get healthier and getting back on the same page.

Kupp's reemergence as a WR1 can be attributed not only to his own health, but the health of Rams QB Matthew Stafford. The veteran signal caller has peppered Kupp with targets as of late, looking his breakfast buddy's way 18 times in L.A.'s last two.
Health and volume have enable Kupp to put forth back-to-back fantasy outings of over 20 points for the first time this season. Fantasy managers that have kept the faith have been richly rewarded in December and should consider him a locked-in WR1 against the Saints on Thursday night for the fantasy football semi-finals.
