Analysis

Kupp turned in another efficient effort starting alongside fellow star wideout Puka Nacua. The 31-year-old Kupp continues to be the definition of consistency as he enters the later stages of his career, producing usable fantasy lines in four out of his five healthy appearances this season. Managers should continue starting Kupp with confidence as the Rams prepare to take on the Patriots in Week 11.

Analysis

Kupp went for 5-51-1 in his return from an ankle injury last week, and he improved on those totals with Sunday's 11-catch effort. The 31-year-old survived trade rumors in recent weeks to remain Matthew Stafford's favorite target in a tight victory. Fellow starter Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday's tilt in the first half, but both receivers figure to be available for a Monday Night Football matchup against Miami in Week 10.

Analysis

Kupp was second to fellow returnee Puka Nacua (knee) across the board in his receiving line, but the former was the only one of the two to find the end zone. Kupp recorded a seven-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter, the second score of his injury-shortened campaign. Provided trade rumors that have been circulating about Kupp prove inaccurate, the veteran wideout should once again be in for a key role during a Week 9 road matchup against the division-rival Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Analysis

Kupp is officially in the clear to make his first appearance since Week 2 after he was listed as a full participant in walk-throughs Monday and Tuesday and in Wednesday's practice. Fellow Rams wideout Puka Nacua (knee) is listed as questionable but has yet to be activated from injured reserve, while rookie receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Week 8 contest.

Analysis

Kupp thus is on pace to play Thursday night against the Vikings, with Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site having previously relayed Monday that coach Sean McVay noted that the wideout's workload for the contest is "to be determined." Look for added context on that front to arrive in the next couple of days, but Kupp's looming return to the lineup should provide a huge boost to a pass-catching corps that still is without Puka Nacua (knee).

Analysis

McVay said he's "definitely excited to have [Kupp] back" from his four-game absence, but it sounds like the veteran wideout may be operating on some amount of a snap count Thursday. Coming out of Los Angeles' bye, Kupp managed three consecutive limited practices before being ruled out for Week 7. Even if not yet ready to command a full assortment of reps, Kupp's return to the field will provide a significant boost to a wide receiver corps also housing Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith. Puka Nacua (knee) has yet to be designated for a return to practice from IR.

Analysis

Kupp logged three consecutive limited practices leading up to Sunday's win but ultimately was ruled out after being listed as questionable Friday. The team was evidently pleased with what it saw from Kupp in practice, as the star receiver's expected to see his first action since Week 2 when the Rams return to action Thursday against the Vikings. Kupp's status leading up to the game still will be worth tracking, though the Rams may hold walkthroughs rather than full practices on a short week.

Analysis

Kupp has been sidelined since the first half of a Week 2 loss at Arizona due to a left high-ankle sprain. He's missed three games in the meantime, but following the Rams' Week 6 bye, he was able to log three consecutive limited sessions and potentially set himself up for a return to action. Having said that, Kupp's questionable tag came with a grain of salt, as coach Sean McVay was tepid regarding the wide receiver's status all week, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported earlier Sunday that Kupp wasn't likely to play, and after a pregame warmup, he'll sit out another contest. Kupp's next chance to suit up is Thursday against the Vikings, while Jordan Whittington (shoulder), Tutu Atwell, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Smith will man L.A.'s receiving corps Week 7.

Analysis

Kupp missed the Rams' final three games before the team's Week 6 bye with a left high-ankle sprain, but he took his first meaningful steps forward in his recovery from the injury by returning to practice this week as a limited participant. Though head coach Sean McVay said coming out of Friday's session that Kupp still had a chance to play Sunday, the Rams are seemingly leaning toward holding the wideout out for one more contest. According to Schefter, Kupp is scheduled to go through a pregame warmup before the Rams make any decisions on his status, but for the time being, the expectation is that he'll be included on the team's inactive list ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.
