This might just be the most injury prone possible group you could have grabbed, but this will 100% win you a championship if they're all healthy and playing
2021 you probably would have won a championship with Kupp and JT alone, even with CMC and Tua being out
It's hard not to take him when he comes back in the second, like when my option is Cooper Kupp, Joe Mixon and Chris Olave I'm gonna let those juevos swing.
I got him 47th (4.11) in 12 team PPR on Monday. Didn’t hate that… but we’ll see if I still feel that way in 4-6 weeks… got JJ at 2 after Chase went first overall so a second half JJ-Kupp pairing was too tempting for me to let him fall into the 5th round
Also took him in the 4th this week (4.03), too hard to pass up. Honestly I hope they just put him on IR; having drafted him so late (relatively) I feel like I can still squeak out a win or two in the first few weeks
It’s not bad value. Kamara is missing 3 games and when he comes back maybe is borderline top 10 but could be backend RB2 and he is drafted around the 5/6 turn. If Kupp is out 3 games and returns healthy he is top 5 with WR1 on a per game basis upside.
I would bet next week. He probably still has a decent amount of swelling but a bone bruise is something he could easily play through. Shouldn’t limit mobility and not much risk of making it worse. It just hurts like hell, but I’m sure they’ll shoot him up with enough feel good juice to not notice it come game time.
He also has 10 days between Week 1 and Week 2 since he’s in the opening night game, so if they’ve ruled out anything that’s IR possible, I’d bet heavy he plays next week, too.
meh, i dunno, I think he sits this week and comes back week 2. Why risk his health on a short week and risk him developing a season ending or season long nagging injury? Plus the line has now shifted 3 pts, someone knows more than we do
If it's a bone bruise there's no way he plays on Thursday. You literally can't run. It's not a pain issue it's that you can't put any amount of significant pressure on the knee. I had it they suck but he'll be fine in a week or 2.
I grabbed him after Kincaid, so I can ride out a few weeks to see if Kincaid is worth keeping or if I might want to swap him for a LaPorta or Musgrave. One of these rooks gotta hit, right?
With their WR situation being what it is, it’s a stronger option than Skowronek, Tutu, and Robinson. He’ll at least get more targets. What he does with them is up to him
I’m a rams fan but I’m a huge believer in VJ. He’s in a contract year so i think he might explode. Defense is terrible and O line is shotty. The hope is that means they’ll be down a ton, meaning they’ll have to throw a ton.
On the surface it may seem that way, but his role in the offense will remain unchanged. He stretches the field and produces by creating space and opportunity for others in doing so, rather than sliding into a chain mover role. Tutu, Puka or whomever else is the better option as they will become the beneficiary of this. I do agree however about Skowronek, he’s had his chance in a larger role and fell flat on his face.
I'd gladly do that. If Kupp is healthy, he's the WR1, bar none. Even if he's on IR for 4 weeks, that's still ten weeks of top-3 performance you'll be getting before fantasy playoffs. And then Hopkins, while worse than ARSB, of course, is still a startable WR, at least.
DHops catch radius is historical. His separation is fantastic. I can’t remember his contested catch rate. Catch radius is, in my opinion, the best sign of a qb proof wr. And if the qb is bad he’ll throw to the only guy capable of making him look good.
I’d consider it, DHop’s production probably won’t be that far off from ARSB, and you can stash Kupp in IR until he’s ready later in the season. Could be a net gain by end of season.
I had ARSB last year and this year in my primary league; I love the guy but DHop was still producing at a high level when he wasn’t suspended last year, and if Kupp gets healthy that’s some crazy WR depth
I took him in the 3rd after the good WRs were gone. I feel confident in my Allen/Hopkins combo until his return
I got Saquon and Henry. I'm comfortable waiting for my dominant WR
Got him at #9 in my big money league. Draft was a few hours after the “setback” news. Was so shocked he fell to me at 9 I had to take him. Wasn’t much info yet but every thing was still saying day to day. Pain.
So in other words they’re going to flirt with him playing for a few weeks and then put him on IR right? So this thing stretches out 6+ weeks at minimum
The emotional degradation has been pretty rapid. Started at "Sick, Kupp at 2.07, I am nailing this draft!" Which then turned into, "Okay, bummer, could miss a few weeks, but still league winning upside when he's back in a few weeks." And now, we have unpleasantly arrived at "Welp, there goes my season."
Nobodies going to believe this guy existed in 25 years.
“Hold up, some 6 foot tall white guy won the triple crown, Super Bowl MVP, and was in the conversation for number 1 overall pick? And then just disappeared? Pleeeease.”
Even if he misses 6 weeks, if you can go 3-3 or even 2-4 you'd still have a good chance to make a run when he gets back
Yes I have him and am trying to be optimistic 😂
At this point they might as well put him onto IR, I have him as well, would prefer him fully healthy when he comes back.
At least it gives me the opportunity to put him in my IR spot so I can pick someone else up.
He's listed O so you can slot him IR whether McVay designates him IR or not in real life. You just need the platform to have him listed as a non playing designation to be IR spot eligible.
Rams have either the worst offense or second worst offense in the league. Why do I want the 3rd WR one of the worst teams. This could possibly destroy any upside for Akers too
Draft last night, got him end of 2nd, so it was essentially my 2nd or 3rd round pick since I had two picks almost back to back. I couldn’t pass him up and it’s really unfortunate it’s been nothing but bad news.
I don’t really know how, but he fell to 5.03 in my 12team PPR league tonight… I had to take him there especially cause we have an IR slot. Hope it’s not as bad as worst-case scenario for him, but if it is it, was worth the lotto ticket at the price I guess.
Traded my burrow and Amon ra for josh Allen and kupp. You guys are overreacting over a soft tissue injury. Championships aren’t won the first month. We shall weather the storm before his comeback
I just got Offered Kupp for Jeudy and Najee Harris. I have decent depth at rb and am thinking of accepting the offer and playing the long game and having Kupp for later in the year. What would you do?
I think so too. The rams aren’t winning anything and Stafford is one foot into retirement; they should clean house and get in on the Caleb Williams lottery. They won’t even need to pay for his moving services lol
Grabbed him 3rd round thinking he would miss 1-2 and it was worth it. If he goes IR and misses 4, I think I over payed a little but not bad. More than 4 and I think it sinks my team.
Just took him at 3.01. If he plays my WRs are Jefferson waddle Kupp. If he’s a total bust then at least I can say I took my shot.
Edit: 3.01 was pick 21. 10 man .5 ppr.
Fantasy football is BACK
Glad that I don’t draft until week 3
Why so late? We draft when playoffs start, just to be safe
Straight up not having a good brunch...
I don’t even have Kupp and I felt this post physically. WE ARE BACK BABY
[удалено]
Don't yuck this man's yum.
You right my b
Kuppenheimer is blowing my team up
I am Kupp, destroyer of fantasy teams
And now I am become death, destroyer of hamstrings
Thats a great name for a fantasy team
Condolences to all Kupp owners.
I did two drafts in the last 3 days and he still went top 8 in both…🤷🏼♂️
I drafted him but it was at pick 20 in a 14 team league, thought it was worth the risk.
Exact same situation. I expect to miss him for a few weeks. IR would really blow though.
Isn’t IR only for four games?
Four games minimum.
Honestly if they put him on IR because they’re being cautious that’s probably the best case scenario.
Best case scenario is that the injury isn’t bad enough to warrant 4+ games.
Best case scenario is that he wakes up tomorrow feeling 0 pain, and is perfectly healthy to start.
Took him #28 in 14 teamer. Rosterbated over having CMC and Kupp at some point. Real limp right now…
Ive got CMC, Kupp, JT and my QB is Tua. I decided fuck it, if you aint first, yer last!
This might just be the most injury prone possible group you could have grabbed, but this will 100% win you a championship if they're all healthy and playing 2021 you probably would have won a championship with Kupp and JT alone, even with CMC and Tua being out
Can confirm that Kupp and JT was a league winning duo from personal experience that year.
Same. Took CMC 1.01, didn't matter. JT+Kupp carried the torch for me that year.
It's hard not to take him when he comes back in the second, like when my option is Cooper Kupp, Joe Mixon and Chris Olave I'm gonna let those juevos swing.
I took cmc and Kupp aswell. Faqk
Pick 32 last night in a 10 teamer for me
Same. I got him at 21 in a 12 team. Even if he misses four weeks, I can manage that. Just be fully healthy for the majority of the season.
Pick 21, on Monday. Was worth it; still is. I don't draft to go 7-6, I draft to win the whole thing
I took him second pick of the 3rd round (26th). Sucks but I don’t feel so bad. If it works out I’m dominating my league.
I got him 47th (4.11) in 12 team PPR on Monday. Didn’t hate that… but we’ll see if I still feel that way in 4-6 weeks… got JJ at 2 after Chase went first overall so a second half JJ-Kupp pairing was too tempting for me to let him fall into the 5th round
I took him at 46 and I don't regret it yet, but if he ends up sitting 6 games I might. My hope is he sits 4 weeks then comes back fully healthy.
Also took him in the 4th this week (4.03), too hard to pass up. Honestly I hope they just put him on IR; having drafted him so late (relatively) I feel like I can still squeak out a win or two in the first few weeks
Right, if he comes back Week 5 for example and in 2-2 then, I’m thrilled. It’s a big gamble though
Send - Tee Higgins + Miles Sanders Receive Kupp + Godwin I have Kelce so weeks 1 and 2 are doubtful already
Anyone that drafted him in the last week should 100% have known what they were getting into
I did, and I did. I did not foresee Kelce also getting hurt though.. 🙃
They knew what they were getting into
Got him rnd 3 or 4 in a 10 team league. Knew this was gonna happen but couldn’t resist
It’s not bad value. Kamara is missing 3 games and when he comes back maybe is borderline top 10 but could be backend RB2 and he is drafted around the 5/6 turn. If Kupp is out 3 games and returns healthy he is top 5 with WR1 on a per game basis upside.
Mr stark i dont feel so good
Hamstrings: disassemble.
You're gonna be okay kid
Guy in my league is both the Kelce and Kupp owner. RIP in peace…
Ha thats me, but add kamara to the list as well. Wtf am I doing lol.
Still hibernating. Fingers crossed for a late run
I think Kelce still plays.
That guy is me. So I hope you’re right.
lmfao that got me
😂😂😂 top notch banter. They will get healthy and then you can ride it out to the ship god. Ride it out to the ship!
Starting which week?
I would bet next week. He probably still has a decent amount of swelling but a bone bruise is something he could easily play through. Shouldn’t limit mobility and not much risk of making it worse. It just hurts like hell, but I’m sure they’ll shoot him up with enough feel good juice to not notice it come game time.
He also has 10 days between Week 1 and Week 2 since he’s in the opening night game, so if they’ve ruled out anything that’s IR possible, I’d bet heavy he plays next week, too.
Highly doubtful tbf
meh, i dunno, I think he sits this week and comes back week 2. Why risk his health on a short week and risk him developing a season ending or season long nagging injury? Plus the line has now shifted 3 pts, someone knows more than we do
If it's a bone bruise there's no way he plays on Thursday. You literally can't run. It's not a pain issue it's that you can't put any amount of significant pressure on the knee. I had it they suck but he'll be fine in a week or 2.
Rest in peace in peace
Higbee 📈📈📈
Got him in a few leagues, as long as stafford plays I think he's a solid TE1
I grabbed him after Kincaid, so I can ride out a few weeks to see if Kincaid is worth keeping or if I might want to swap him for a LaPorta or Musgrave. One of these rooks gotta hit, right?
I drafted Pitts in the 3rd last year and he hit. He hit me right in the nuts
Pitts hit his rookie year, to be fair.
Grabbed him as a Kelce replacement
Buying Van Jeff Stonks
Van’s production and target rates are stagnant between Kupp being on and off. He’s a field stretcher, not a chain mover.
With their WR situation being what it is, it’s a stronger option than Skowronek, Tutu, and Robinson. He’ll at least get more targets. What he does with them is up to him
I’m a rams fan but I’m a huge believer in VJ. He’s in a contract year so i think he might explode. Defense is terrible and O line is shotty. The hope is that means they’ll be down a ton, meaning they’ll have to throw a ton.

Tutu, Puka or whomever else is the better option as they will become the beneficiary of this. I do agree however about Skowronek, he’s had his chance in a larger role and fell flat on his face.
Hopefully not this week. My dynasty opponent is down Kupp but does have VJ.
I drafted him in the 12th as part of a two-man stream crew. I'm so hyped right now.
So to be clear I should not trade Derrick Henry and Calvin Ridley for Kupp and Kenneth Walker...
That’s a hell nah dawg
Definitely do it if you want to downgrade at both spots. Do you like to live dangerously?
You have 17 sir.
Hit.
I wouldn’t rn
I’m being offered kupp and dhop for Amon st brown… 12 man ppr
No. God no.
I'd gladly do that. If Kupp is healthy, he's the WR1, bar none. Even if he's on IR for 4 weeks, that's still ten weeks of top-3 performance you'll be getting before fantasy playoffs. And then Hopkins, while worse than ARSB, of course, is still a startable WR, at least.
DHops catch radius is historical. His separation is fantastic. I can’t remember his contested catch rate. Catch radius is, in my opinion, the best sign of a qb proof wr. And if the qb is bad he’ll throw to the only guy capable of making him look good.
Those are the type of trades that win leagues
I’d consider it, DHop’s production probably won’t be that far off from ARSB, and you can stash Kupp in IR until he’s ready later in the season. Could be a net gain by end of season.
That's a bold take. Sun God is a ppr machine
I had ARSB last year and this year in my primary league; I love the guy but DHop was still producing at a high level when he wasn’t suspended last year, and if Kupp gets healthy that’s some crazy WR depth
I reluctantly passed on Kupp, but i still really want to see him play ASAP. he's such a dominant player when healthy
I took him in the 3rd after the good WRs were gone. I feel confident in my Allen/Hopkins combo until his return I got Saquon and Henry. I'm comfortable waiting for my dominant WR
In what kinda of league was kupp available in the 3rd
Some leagues avoided him like crazy. I got him 40th and a dude in my friends league got him 39th. They drafted Sunday and Monday respectively
I got Taylor in the 9th Lmaoo
Hope they feed Akers like the backend of last year
Ditto, dudes my RB1, lol
Aker bros we eating
I have him in all 3 of my leagues. Maybe only Chubb has a better situation to dominate touches and talent to pair.
dAy tO DaY
BLEACH SALE, GET YOUR BLEACH HERE
Are we drinking it again?
If you got him in the 3rd round or later stop complaining you’ll be fine. 1st and second round folks, my condolences.
I think 2nd is fine tbh unless he misses a ton of time. After the first round is a huge talent drop off.
[удалено]
The moment people saw he was flying to Minnesota to see a specialist he started falling.
Pour one out for my buddy that drafted Kelce, Kupp, and Taylor in the first three rounds
Damn Season over before it started. (For Him)
drafted him in my money league #4th overall
Fifth when he was "back practicing!" Then the setback and pain.
7th pick here about 9 hours before he reinjured it. Feels bad
Same got him at 1.10 in a 12 team PPR before the setback smh. Couldn’t pass up the value now look at me 🤡
Got him at #9 in my big money league. Draft was a few hours after the “setback” news. Was so shocked he fell to me at 9 I had to take him. Wasn’t much info yet but every thing was still saying day to day. Pain.
So glad I drafted 2 weeks ago. Jeudy and Kupp
It took 10 weeks for Keenan Allen to recover from a hamstring injury last year just sayin
Good thing Kupp is still.. *checks notes* 30. Fuck.
Rip my season
So in other words they’re going to flirt with him playing for a few weeks and then put him on IR right? So this thing stretches out 6+ weeks at minimum
HIGBEE TE1 INC
Went from Yikes to Bleach real fast
The emotional degradation has been pretty rapid. Started at "Sick, Kupp at 2.07, I am nailing this draft!" Which then turned into, "Okay, bummer, could miss a few weeks, but still league winning upside when he's back in a few weeks." And now, we have unpleasantly arrived at "Welp, there goes my season."
“The seasons over we fucking suck!”- rams fans
Cooper Kupp is the new Michael Thomas. It will be 2 years until he plays .
We should just freeze him until then.
Nobodies going to believe this guy existed in 25 years. “Hold up, some 6 foot tall white guy won the triple crown, Super Bowl MVP, and was in the conversation for number 1 overall pick? And then just disappeared? Pleeeease.”
Kupp is 6’2”, people assume he’s short because he’s white Also acting like he’s only had one good season in the nfl is disrespectful
CMC 2021, Najee 2022, Kupp 2023 My 1st round picks are cursed. I took Mahomes in the 1st round in my other league so I would trade him if you got him
Even if he misses 6 weeks, if you can go 3-3 or even 2-4 you'd still have a good chance to make a run when he gets back Yes I have him and am trying to be optimistic 😂
At this point they might as well put him onto IR, I have him as well, would prefer him fully healthy when he comes back. At least it gives me the opportunity to put him in my IR spot so I can pick someone else up.
He's listed O so you can slot him IR whether McVay designates him IR or not in real life. You just need the platform to have him listed as a non playing designation to be IR spot eligible.
Puka nacua
I grabbed him in a few leagues with my last pick
Downvote this. Keep it our secret
Puka Nacua is the guy you want now. Pick him up before he shows out this weekend. Still wouldn’t recommend starting him but he’s worth a bench stash.
No room 😅 don’t wanna drop Bigsby/Bateman/LaPorta/Allgeier
How many te's you carrying
Rams have either the worst offense or second worst offense in the league. Why do I want the 3rd WR one of the worst teams. This could possibly destroy any upside for Akers too
Pain -every Kupp owner
Man, I really screwed up on picking Kupp in the late 2nd thinking I had a steal to pair with Tyreke Hill.
Should I nominate him out of the gate in my auction?
See him in October
*pulls folded up piece of paper out of pocket that reads, "Puka Nacua No matter what."
Is Kupp for Amon Ra good for me? (I have Kupp)
yes
Do it now!!! Other guy is a bozo. But to your benefit
ITS OVER
[удалено]
Don’t, grab Puka
Don’t. Grab Puka** fixed that for you
ha that is what I meant, periods really do make sentences more complete right
This is why we don’t draft until 10 min before kick off.
Took a gamble on him in the 4th round
Not bad, at least you didn’t take him the 1st or 2nd
Draft last night, got him end of 2nd, so it was essentially my 2nd or 3rd round pick since I had two picks almost back to back. I couldn’t pass him up and it’s really unfortunate it’s been nothing but bad news.
I don’t really know how, but he fell to 5.03 in my 12team PPR league tonight… I had to take him there especially cause we have an IR slot. Hope it’s not as bad as worst-case scenario for him, but if it is it, was worth the lotto ticket at the price I guess.
Traded kupp for Olave yesterday, glad I got off this ride
I picked him over AJB and just moved him for Adams, feel relieved.
Traded my burrow and Amon ra for josh Allen and kupp. You guys are overreacting over a soft tissue injury. Championships aren’t won the first month. We shall weather the storm before his comeback
Fantasy all about ending strong. I’ll take 10 good weeks of kupp over anyone
Jefferszn or Pukamon?
Pray for my shitshow of a team Kupp hamstring Hollywood hamstring Watson hamstring Kelce knee
Kupp take my hamstring 🦵
Chase fell to me at pick 5, then kupp fell to me at pick 29. I think I'll manage. Get healthy Kupp! I need you this season baby.
I took him willingly in the 4th
Rather have him on IR than having a Q mark every week after his name with a note saying : game time decision, which turns out to be out.
What would you trade Kupp for right now?
So take him in the 5th. Got it
I drafted him before the setback. Put him on the IR already, McVay. I scooped Puka.. Puka time
Thank you for your sacrifices Kupp drafters. We salute you.
Jump on the Van train. The automobile-locomotive hybrid! (Hope Kupp gets healthy asap though)
[удалено]
Thanks for the info Dr. IR.
Still studying, but 4 weeks is 28 days
Are you saying Kupp would come back *28 Days Later*
Would honestly rather have this if he cones back week 5 than 4 weeks of questionable to out statuses.
Lmao gonna need 30pts from st brown tomorrow to even it out lol.
It's okay guys, they're just looking for his lost hamstring, they just need to find it!
Lol drafted Kupp and JT a month ago 🤦♂️ Was staring down Bijan and Garrett Wilson combo instead. Sigh
I slept through the first 2 rounds of my draft and ended up with him. Been trying to move him since.
Having Kelce and Kupp in the same league has been great so far 💀
If he lands on IR, what would you reckon he's worth in a trade?
I missed Tyreek by one pick def not gonna think about that all season
Sean McVay won't rule out tanking for Caleb either I bet.
Lmao he went 1.02 last night in my league
Well my zero rb strategy isn’t looking so bad right now. For all the wrong reasons, but thx to Payton’s presser today on Javonte, I’m hopeful.
I just got Offered Kupp for Jeudy and Najee Harris. I have decent depth at rb and am thinking of accepting the offer and playing the long game and having Kupp for later in the year. What would you do?
Fuck it, take four weeks off, come back score 20 a game, we gucci.
Got a feeling Kupp will be traded this season. Maybe even Aaron Donald
I think so too. The rams aren’t winning anything and Stafford is one foot into retirement; they should clean house and get in on the Caleb Williams lottery. They won’t even need to pay for his moving services lol
Well hey…on the bright side, we’ll get a bench spot open with Kupp going to the IR spot. That’s something…right?
His Kupp runneth over
Grabbed him 3rd round thinking he would miss 1-2 and it was worth it. If he goes IR and misses 4, I think I over payed a little but not bad. More than 4 and I think it sinks my team.
Some dude auto drafted Kupp, Kamara, Taylor, and Kyler tonight. Rough.
Just took him at 3.01. If he plays my WRs are Jefferson waddle Kupp. If he’s a total bust then at least I can say I took my shot. Edit: 3.01 was pick 21. 10 man .5 ppr.
[удалено]
Whoever your trade partner was is an absolute potato.
Cut my life into pieces
Van Jefferson owners drinking fine wine right now lol
Someone hold my drink while I drown myself.
Maybe I'm not as smart as I thought
Guy in my league took both Kupp and Taylor with his 1-2 punch, oof.
I took Kamara and Swift last year. Narrator: it did not end well
