Cooper Kupp

Cooper Kupp has been plagued with injuries since 2022 and Puka Nacua is just back from a camp injury, but the duo seems 100% for opener in Detroit.

Right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) is listed as questionable. Nacua suffered a knee injury early in camp but returned to practice before the end of the offseason. He practiced in full all three days this week before being cleared from the injury report. Nacua appears to be fully past the knee injury, locking him in as a low-end fantasy WR1 for the first week of the season. Though the Nacua versus Cooper Kupp debate raged all summer, a potential shootout with the Lions is a great spot for both wideouts to put up big numbers.

Nacua looks to have mostly recovered from a knee injury he suffered in camp. The Rams were expecting to have him ready for Week 1 and he returned to practice last week. While still on the injury report, Nacua logged a full practice for the first official practice of the week, indicating he will be clear for Week 1 against the Lions. Though competing for targets with Cooper Kupp, Nacua profiles as a low-end WR1 heading into the season.

McVay is presumably saying Nacua will "be ready to roll" for Week 1 when his team will take on the Lions to kick off the season. Nacua has been dealing with a knee injury throughout much of camp but returned to practice earlier this week and was practicing in full on Thursday. After totaling 105 receptions for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns last season, Nacua has set the bar high for this upcoming season. He profiles as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 when Cooper Kupp is healthy, but would have top-five fantasy upside if Kupp were ever to miss time.

It was reported earlier this month that Nacua should be ready for Week 1 after suffering a knee injury in camp. His return to practice with more than a week to go before the start of the season is a good sign he'll be ready when he and the Rams kick off against the Lions on September 8. Nacua enters 2024 with sky-high expectations after going for 105-1486-6 in his rookie campaign. He has low-end WR1 and high-end WR2 upside but would project as a week-to-week WR1 if Cooper Kupp were ever to miss time.
