Isn’t the reason he’s not on IR is because the Rams have used up all of their IR-Return slots?
I thought I heard that.

It's ESPN. I thought for sure after week 1 I had to take ineligible guys out of IR to make FAAB bids. Maybe it's a setting you can activate for your league. I will check next week and get back to you.

Is anyone dealing Kupp in their league for some help? Was offered Steele, McConkey and Spears for him in a salary cap league where you can keep players for up to 3 years (salaries go up each year). Considering it, but would prefer to muddle through the next few weeks and see if he can return soonish….
I'm not but I'm 2-0 so hoping I can ride it out.
If you were 0-2 I'd consider it though.
I don't think that's near enough. He hasn't hit IR, it's not season ending. There's hardly a startable player being offered.

Thats a great deal
I don't know. That seems like the epitome of selling low and buying high (on the NO offense and a guy that just scored 2 TDs).

One of the better thing to come out of FBG in recent years, maybe bloom or walkman on the podcast, look at your season in windows
4 games without cup could be 1-3. You gave yourself a shot at 2-2/3-1
So this value in this part of the schedule is still relevant for playoffs, points, etc.
Then we compound the post sprain effect on Kupp.
Kupp > Shaheed in a vacuum
But we aren't in the vacuum, under the circumstances, thats a good deal IMO

I dealt him in dyno SF, not for immediate help.
I realized I’m needing to build although I can probably eek into the playoffs.
I traded Kupp for Bryce Young, hoping it’s a true buy low while the other guy got value while there was something left to get.

So the theory is to move Kupp now and give yourself opportunities to go 3-1 now vs 1-3 and then later in season go 3-5 due to giving up Kupp too soon?
Granted it is all hypothetical and Kupp could miss longer or re-injured but I see depth as your salvation not selling short

Time to move Kupp for value has come and gone.

I don't see the benefit in trading or dropping Kupp for fringe flex players.
Don't get it.
If you held fantasy drafts after week one he'd have been a candidate to go 1.1 and if he's good to go in 5 weeks, and I think a really good chance he is, he'll have only missed 3 games.
He still might miss only 1 game. If they expected 3, he would have gone on IR
I don't have that rosy out an outlook for the next few weeks and personally am planning on him most likely returning after the bye and suiting up in week 7.
I thought I read yesterday they'd be keeping the cast on for 1-2 weeks then starting rehab. Not seeing a way he's just missing a game.
IR would have put him a out a minimum of 4 games and kept him out until week 8. That combined with being very short on the allotted return to play is why they did not put him on IR. As is they can give him 5 full weeks with only missing 3 games.
BTW I think you are in a FFPC $350 draft I did on the Saturday after the two openers were you took Kupp in round 2. Thought you had a very strong draft, sniped me a few times, and see you are off to a strong start. Good job, Tee should be coming to help you while Kupp recovers, that one of the times you sniped me.

I don’t think anyone does but where shaheed lands this year is an open question in that instance..
You can wait for “value” as you fall to 1-5

This is the shark pool... We all should have drafted Jameson and Shaheed and not be panicked about Kupp missing a few games 
Yeah, I reached for Kupp. I Considered McBride, but was targeting Andrews in round 5. I really hated that stretch of the draft this year. Your team is solid too. Hope to see you in week 14
From Dr. Chao yesterday:
Cooper Kupp is going to miss some time with an ankle sprain but it's not as bad as the high ankle sprain that was widely reported in media on Thursday.
"That was an eversion ankle sprain which is a form of high ankle sprain," Dr. Chao said. "But there is a difference between an eversion ankle sprain (where the ankle rolls out) compared to a high ankle sprain (which occurs when the foot is flexed upward and the ankle is twisted.)
"Eversion gives a better recovery timeline. I never thought Cooper Kupp was going on IR. I thought he'd miss one week at most. It's sort of trending that maybe he misses a couple of weeks.
"I don't think it's impossible that he's back next week," Dr. Chao added.

This. If you don't have somebody on your roster before bye week that works as a solid fill in, you had a bad draft.This is the shark pool... We all should have drafted Jameson and Shaheed and not be panicked about Kupp missing a few games
I drafted JSN and B. Thomas mid draft. Really hoping they can step up.This.

Also picked up Q. Johnston this week. Need somebody to step up.
Unfortunately, I also have T. Hill.
Need both Kupp and Tua back relatively soon or things could get difficult.

If you play in an FFA or Shark Pool league, you might not be swimming with anything but shahks and ninjahs.
That's the ninja, shark, drinking, train wreck progression that comprise most drafts. I'd give the train wreck by around round four . . . just in time to reach for Jamo or Shaheed.
Hello Mrs. Tepper. Thank you for hanging out at FBGs.
I was able to trade Kupp and Irving for Jameson Williams and Tank Dell. I've still got Chase and AJ but needed some depth since my other two WR's are Kirk and Watson.

Rams winning that game is good news for Kupp owners.
Absolutely.
I have no idea why you would trade him. I'm not here to win games in weeks 1-7. I want to win games when it matters.
The toilet bowl bracket?
Because that's where Lamb/Gibbs/Kupp/LaPorta are putting me in weeks 1-7

If he is, do you start him? I would have to choose between he and JuJu....

He plays, smash start. Especially in PPR. Matty has vapor lock on the guy. He's gotta be jonesing to pepper him with a dozen targets.

against LV in LA, I doubt they need him much

The Rams are 1-4. I doubt they are taking anything for granted.

I get that but the Raiders and Browns are both teams on massive life support with no remedy in sight. At least the Panthers are competitive with their up and coming coach and Dalton.
The Rams are competitive without Kupp (albeit would be much better with Kupp.) If he's good to go he's good to go but there's enough risk here that the Rams cannot throw caution to the wind.

Absolutely start. If the Rams consider it safe enough for him to play, he's a full go for me.

McVay uses Kupp like Shanahan uses McCaffrey -drive the car 'til the wheels fall off!
McVay cares about winning each game as it comes; the future will take care of itself.
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!!!

From FFPC "Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had a positive workout on Monday. The veteran wide receiver appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of the week 7 matchup against The Las Vegas Raiders. It sounds like Kupp has a chance of suiting up this weekend,but that will depend on how he feels during practice."
