Cooper Kupp's injury means a stalled Rams offense in fantasy.

Cooper Kupp does not offer the downfield element missing from Seattle's passing game. He has 0.91 YPRR and 5.73% first downs per route run, with more targets at or behind the line of scrimmage than in the intermediate or deep range. This limits his fantasy upside in an offense that needs a field stretcher.

Kupp is being lined up on the same side as defensive pressure (EDGE defender and linebacker); Lock has pre-snap recognition issues where he initially reads the opposite side before coming back to Kupp, costing him time. Kupp would have been open had Lock started with that read, but pressure arrives before Lock can get back to that side. Lock also misses a throw to Kupp on a screen pass that nearly turns into a pick-six.

Kupp played for Klint Kubiak as offensive coordinator in Seattle for one season (2025), during which the Seahawks won their second Super Bowl in franchise history. Kupp had six receptions for 61 yards in that Super Bowl victory. Kupp noted that Kubiak displayed noticeably different energy and coaching demeanor in Las Vegas as head coach compared to his time as Seattle's OC, where Kubiak was more reserved and rarely showed the enthusiastic, high-energy sideline presence now evident with the Raiders.
