2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kupp missed the first four games of 2023 with a hamstring injury and sat out Week 18 after the Rams clinched a playoff spot. In between, his numbers equated to a 17-game pace of 84 catches for 1,044 yards and seven TDs, which was a major downturn relative to the previous two seasons but still made him a quality starter for fantasy managers and the Rams alike. He averaged 7.9 targets per game -- down from 11.1 in 2021-22 -- and his catch rate plummeted to a career-low 62.1 percent even though his aDOT (8.3) was in line with previous years. Plays that had gone to Kupp in 2021-22 became Puka Nacua targets or Kyren Williams carries in 2023, with the veteran WR getting just eight passes behind the line of scrimmage (8.7 percent of his targets) and only 27 looks 10-plus yards downfield (29.3 percent). A whopping 62 percent of his targets came between the LOS and nine yards downfield, up from 50.3 percent in 2021 and 37.9 percent in 2022. Basically, he got fewer screens and fewer deep/intermediate passes, and then also had a career-worst 70.2 percent catch rate in that 0-9 yard range. A rebound is possible in his age-31 season ahead -- especially if some of the downturn was a result of missing so much time in August/September -- though he might only be the third fiddle now behind Williams and Nacua in a top-heavy Rams offense. The good news is that Kupp is still partnered with QB Matthew Stafford under head coach Sean McVay, and at his new ADP he doesn't need to approach the record-setting 2021 production to be a good fantasy pick.

Quiet in playoff loss
Kupp caught five of nine targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-23 wild-card round loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Kupp made a key six-yard catch to convert a fourth-and-5 in the second quarter, which was immediately followed by a 38-yard Tutu Atwell touchdown catch on the next play. Outside of that contribution, Kupp was surprisingly quiet in the playoff exit while Puka Nacua racked up 181 yards and a touchdown. Kupp will be 31 years old next season and looks like he's ready to cede the No. 1 receiver role to Nacua in 2024, but the NFL's leading receiver in 2021 should still have plenty of fantasy utility considering Kupp posted four 100-yard performances in 12 regular-season games en route to 59 catches for 737 yards and five touchdowns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On track to play Sunday
Kupp, who exited the Week 11 win over the Seahawks with an ankle injury, is set to play in Sunday's divisional clash against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kupp was officially diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and didn't practice Wednesday, but he worked up to limited participation Thursday and then was free of all restrictions Friday. Kupp already missed the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury, and he likely was determined not to add to his list of absences after being seen vigorously trying to walk and jog off his injury on the sidelines versus Seattle but never coming back into the contest.

2018
2017
Consider it close to incredible that Kupp approached his 2021 numbers in 2022 even as the rest of the Rams' offense cratered around him. The per-target efficiency took a step back, to be fair, but he averaged 10.9 targets, 8.3 catches and 90.2 yards per game with a 76.5 percent catch rate before a high-ankle sprain in mid-November cut his season short. If you exclude the game in which he suffered that injury, Kupp's 2022 numbers look even more similar to 2021, with 101.6 receiving yards per game and six TDs in eight appearances. His rehab timeline was estimated at 6-8 weeks after the season-ending surgery, and Kupp could be cleared for spring practices after he gave a positive update in January. There's not much chance of the Rams returning to their 2021 Super Bowl glory after a rough offseason marked by key losses on defense and no major additions on either side of the ball, but the offense should at least rebound to some extent if only due to the unlikelihood of suffering so many crucial injuries in one season (QB Matthew Stafford and numerous offensive linemen also failed to stay healthy in 2022). Even in the event the team-wide struggles continue, Kupp is essentially a lock for double-digit targets per game -- something that can only be said of one other wideout, Minnesota's Justin Jefferson.
