Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was able to suit up on Sunday despite a shoulder injury throughout the week, but he didn't appear in the box score in this game. Whittington didn't receive any targets even though the Rams had a depleted receiver corps. Tyler Johnson and Tutu Atwell led the receivers while Demarcus Robinson received a target too. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) expected to return for their Thursday night matchup in Week 8, Whittington's value seems to be on the decline in shallower fantasy leagues.

According to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is expected to return for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The wideout has been on the shelf with an ankle injury, although he's been recently inching closer toward a return. While there's a chance he's limited in his first game back, assuming he officially receives the green light, he's a must-start in any format. That said, Kupp's anticipated presence in Week 8 could mean fewer targets for Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, and Jordan Whittington.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction ahead of kickoff. The star pass-catcher has been sidelined since injuring his ankle in the middle of Week 2. He dominated during the season opener, catching 14 of 21 targets for 110 yards and one touchdown. As soon as he's healthy enough to play, he'll rank as a WR1 while catching passes from Matthew Stafford. In the meantime, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell will step up as Los Angeles' top two wide receivers. Colby Parkinson and Demarcus Robinson will also remain heavily involved.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Whittington had been limited in practice this past week. The 24-year-old has taken advantage of injuries to Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) lately, catching 13 of 18 targets for 151 yards over his last two games combined. The rookie is still searching for his first career NFL touchdown, but in the meantime, he'll continue to operate as the Rams' top receiver while ranking as a WR3/FLEX play in fantasy football.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is "unlikely" to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kupp will undergo additional evaluation pregame, so the Rams haven't made an official decision on his availability yet. However, he certainly faces an uphill battle to suit up on Sunday afternoon. The star pass-catcher has been sidelined since injuring his ankle in the middle of Week 2. He dominated during the season opener, catching 14 of 21 targets for 110 yards and one touchdown. As soon as he's healthy enough to play, he'll rank as a WR1 while catching passes from Matthew Stafford. In the meantime, look for Jordan Whittington (shoulder) and Tutu Atwell to command additional targets.
