News: 7 hours agoCoach Sean McVay said Friday that Kupp (hamstring) will resume practicing next week, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Spin: The return to practice will open a 21-day window in which the Rams can move Kupp back to the active roster before he reverts to injured reserve for the remainder of the season. He won't be listed on official injury reports until he's on the roster, but McVay did mention Wednesday that he hoped to get Kupp back on the field when first eligible Week 5 against the Eagles.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kupp is averaging 24.7 fantasy points per game over the last two seasons, which is more than four points bettter than any other wide receiver over that span. During his massive 2021 campaign in which he posted a 145-1947-16 receiving line, Kupp averaged 25.9 fantasy points and 11.3 targets per game. In eight full games last season, he averaged 24.8 points and 11.6 targets. He was a top-10 fantasy scorer in six of the eight weeks after finishing top 12 in 15 of 17 weeks in 2021. Kupp is entering his age 30 season and has missed time due to injury in four of the last five seasons, but there was clearly no drop-off in his production last season. Matthew Stafford's top target remains an elite fantasy option.
