Imagine Kupp on the Chiefs? Would salvage a Kupp owner’s season and make it all worth the wait.

I just don't see the Rams pulling any value for Kupp, based on recent news. I don't think they started the season with Super Bowl in mind and if they were going to offload Kupp, earlier in the summer was the time to do it.

Signed extension last year.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 64 million dollars in dead cap if he's traded.

I’m sure they wouldn’t get great value for him but when they’re 0-4 and Stafford’s neck is already an issue - I could see a fire sale and rebuild like that team really needs.
Obviously the Rams could find a way to be 2-2 and then maybe things change - but their roster on paper is just so bad.

Not sure they would get too much for a guy with a complex hamstring injury
Dr. Octopus

Well the assumption would be he was cleared medically- there’s really no point in discussing a trade if he was injured.

So … best case for Kupp might just be the IR. Forced to heal up completely, rather than attempting to come back too early?
Trying to dig for the silver lining here lol.

Yeah just how much can it be trusted it doesn’t get tweaked again?

I want to hear that they know what the problem is.
'setback' 'specialist', etc.
McVay casually throwing the word 'nerve' out there (LOL, dudes were passing out at TopShots across the country).
What are we healing, is what I wanna know. Did they say, and I missed it?

I know it's still early, but I hope some of you took my advice.
I went with Van Jefferson. Who's laughing now? Hint: It's not me

Lol, my effort was just to shine light into the doom and gloom that we normally feel when an injury is announced. I think last year we forgot how truly good Stafford is when healthy. The NFC is pretty top heavy and the Rams could easily be playing meaningful games.So much for 0-4
I'm hopeful I can weather the first 4 weeks until Kupp is back. Also, hopeful he comes back in week 5.

League Dominator is still projecting him for points Weeks 3 & 4. Who needs to know this to fix it? Wonder if other IR players are seeing similar issues.

Hearing Sunday Afternoon rumors that he's done
Or that he's done in a Rams uniform, whatever that means
Would it shock people if Kupp reitred?
I was in denial a couple weeks ago but I'll believe anything now

Then I look on the internet and see the Rams HC says he thinks he'll be back Week 5
I don't believe a lot fo NFL coaches but it doesn't sound like he will be out all season
Guess we will find out soon, didn't know Kupp was already 30 years old, not ancient for a WR

I think Tutu might be the odd man out.
Yes, yes he will. What Puka is doing is highly impressive, it also isn't on Kupp's level.
Having said that, when Kupp is back, this looks like a very dangerous offense again. Hell, dangerous team. This might be a top-4 team in the NFC.

San Francisco, Philly and Dallas. After that, a lot of the teams look the same at this point, so guess it's possible.

You are correct sir!
Cooper Kupp's first 2 games:
9/10/2017: 4 receptions on 6 targets for 76 yards, 1 TD
9/17/2017: 3 receptions on 6 targets for 33 yards, 0 TD
Puka Nakua:
9/10/2023: 10 receptions on 15 targets for 119 yards, 0 TD
9/17/2023: 15 receptions on 20 targets for 147 yards, 0 TD + 2 rushes for 4 yards
To put it in an FFL perspective through each player's first 2 weeks (1 PPR):
Cooper Kupp: 23.9 points
Puka Nacua: 52.0 points
Now I'm not going to extrapolate here and say Puka's week 3 will be 20 receptions on 25 targets, but they are clearly feeding him the ball.
2017 Kupp is irrelevant. That's not who Puka will be losing targets to.
Puka is probably a top-12 WR until Kupp is back, still think he's more of a WR3 once he is though.

Based on 2 games this year, Puka is Justin Jefferson light with no td's (those will come though). I honestly have no idea what will happen when / if Kupp comes back but I don't know if you can or would want to put that genie back in the bottle. There are plenty of teams that can feed 2 wrs and I could see where Kupp / Puka "negatively" impact each other and both end up in the 7-10 target range each and both are good wr's but not top 5. I'm interested to see how it unfolds....

Rams WR Cooper Kupp Gets 'Hopeful' Injury Update From Sean McVay
Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay is optimistic that star receiver Cooper Kupp can return in Week 5, the earliest date possibleI assume we can take an NFL Head Coach at their word, if McVay is optimistic then so should Kupp fans
LawFitz
Footballguy
Nowhere in that article does coach say
"he will be back and ready for Week 5."

You don't want to give away too many secrets to the opposition
McVay said enough, what do you want from him, the game script for Kupp's first 10-20 plays back?
You can't expect all that
Stat Correction
Footballguy
Honestly, all things considered, I'd be happy with a healthy Kupp for the 2nd half of the season (as would Puka owners, I'm sure).
You DO realize the words HOPEFULL and OPTIMISTIC dont mean the same thing dont you? Reguardless of how things are going every coach is HOPEFUL the player comes back soon. OPTIMISTIC shows some level having a reason to believe that will happen. I, as a Kupp owner am hopeful he comes back after 4 weeks and stays healthy but I have zero reason to be either optimistic or pesimistic of that happening.
Da Franchise
Footballguy
I am definitely with you and would be very worried if I had him anywhere. Nerve issues have ended careers before. I read that quote as littered with hedges and hopes. Hope he responds well to treatment.

Puka seems fine. Cooper comes back who knows!
Mostly just salty because the day I drafted Kupp was saying he’s feeling great, then a week later he’s seeing some witch doctor in Minnesota

Dynasty .. owner of Kupp is 0-3 so looking to try and add him, but what is he worth.. couple high 2nd round picks or a Dionte Johnson type and a pick?
