2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kupp missed the first four games of 2023 with a hamstring injury and sat out Week 18 after the Rams clinched a playoff spot. In between, his numbers equated to a 17-game pace of 84 catches for 1,044 yards and seven TDs, which was a major downturn relative to the previous two seasons but still made him a quality starter for fantasy managers and the Rams alike. He averaged 7.9 targets per game -- down from 11.1 in 2021-22 -- and his catch rate plummeted to a career-low 62.1 percent even though his aDOT (8.3) was in line with previous years. Plays that had gone to Kupp in 2021-22 became Puka Nacua targets or Kyren Williams carries in 2023, with the veteran WR getting just eight passes behind the line of scrimmage (8.7 percent of his targets) and only 27 looks 10-plus yards downfield (29.3 percent). A whopping 62 percent of his targets came between the LOS and nine yards downfield, up from 50.3 percent in 2021 and 37.9 percent in 2022. Basically, he got fewer screens and fewer deep/intermediate passes, and then also had a career-worst 70.2 percent catch rate in that 0-9 yard range. A rebound is possible in his age-31 season ahead -- especially if some of the downturn was a result of missing so much time in August/September -- though he might only be the third fiddle now behind Williams and Nacua in a top-heavy Rams offense. The good news is that Kupp is still partnered with QB Matthew Stafford under head coach Sean McVay, and at his new ADP he doesn't need to approach the record-setting 2021 production to be a good fantasy pick.

May not go on injured reserve
Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that the Rams aren't sure whether they'll place Kupp (ankle) on injured reserve, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kupp was knocked out of this past Sunday's loss at Arizona with a sprained ankle that McVay relayed Monday was expected to sideline him for "an extended period of time," per Adam Schefter of ESPN. McVay also noted Wednesday that Kupp's injury isn't season-ending and won't require surgery, but the wide receiver will be in a cast for the next week, per Rodrigue. Meanwhile, the Rams have to consider their allotment of designated to return from IR slots, of which each team has eight to use in a given campaign. L.A. currently has 11 players on IR, two of which have been designated for return already, so there's a chance Kupp isn't placed on the reserve list, even if he ends up missing more than four contests. With Puka Nacua (knee) out for the foreseeable future, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell are the healthy WRs on the Rams' active roster.

Consider it close to incredible that Kupp approached his 2021 numbers in 2022 even as the rest of the Rams' offense cratered around him. The per-target efficiency took a step back, to be fair, but he averaged 10.9 targets, 8.3 catches and 90.2 yards per game with a 76.5 percent catch rate before a high-ankle sprain in mid-November cut his season short. If you exclude the game in which he suffered that injury, Kupp's 2022 numbers look even more similar to 2021, with 101.6 receiving yards per game and six TDs in eight appearances. His rehab timeline was estimated at 6-8 weeks after the season-ending surgery, and Kupp could be cleared for spring practices after he gave a positive update in January. There's not much chance of the Rams returning to their 2021 Super Bowl glory after a rough offseason marked by key losses on defense and no major additions on either side of the ball, but the offense should at least rebound to some extent if only due to the unlikelihood of suffering so many crucial injuries in one season (QB Matthew Stafford and numerous offensive linemen also failed to stay healthy in 2022). Even in the event the team-wide struggles continue, Kupp is essentially a lock for double-digit targets per game -- something that can only be said of one other wideout, Minnesota's Justin Jefferson.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be headed for IR
Kupp suffered an ankle injury Sunday that could result in him being placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a brutal blow for the Rams, who already had to place Puka Nacua on IR after Week 1 due to a knee injury. Kupp racked up 14 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on a whopping 21 targets in the team's opener, then added four catches for 37 yards on six targets Sunday before exiting the game just before halftime. While both Nacua and Kupp are sidelined, the Rams' receiving corps will be headed up by Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell.
