Rams' Cooper Kupp (ankle) expected to miss 'some time'

Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is expected to miss "some time" with the injury he suffered in the team's Week 10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

What It Means:

Kupp's injury looked bad on the screen, and head coach Sean McVay did not seem optimistic in the team's postgame press conference. The NFL's Ian Rapoport reported that Kupp did seem to avoid a fracture and the "worst case" scenario, but fantasy managers with Kupp on their teams will likely be without their top player for multiple weeks. Last year's Super Bowl champions are now 3-6 and in fourth place in their division, so they could consider taking a cautious approach with their star's recovery.

Kupp has been dominant for a second straight season with Matthew Stafford at quarterback, even as the only part of the Rams' offense that has been functional so far this season. The star receiver was already up to 812 yards and 6 touchdowns on 75 catches through the first half of the season. His absence could open up extra opportunities for Allen Robinson, Tyler Higbee, and Van Jefferson.
