Should I drop Cooper Kupp for Week 15? Fantasy outlook for the Rams WR vs. Green Bay Packers

Cooper Kupp had an exceptional season prior to his unfortunate injury in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Los Angeles Rams receiver has been recovering from the high ankle sprain he suffered in the loss to the Cardinals and underwent surgery.

Although Kupp's surgery was successful, he will not be fit to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. He is still on the injured reserve list. Some reports suggest that the 29-year-old may not return to action for the remainder of the season. Hence, you obviously should not pick Kupp for your fantasy team this week.

During Kupp's injury in mid-November, reports claimed that the receiver could miss up to six to eight weeks of NFL action. However, if the Rams are unable to make it to the playoffs, Kupp's season might be cut short. Sean McVay's side are currently fourth in the NFC West with a 4-9 record, and their hopes of qualifying for the postseason are hanging on by a thread.
