Rams WR Cooper Kupp placed on COVID list

Dec 30, 2020

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp tested positive for COVID-19 and has been placed on the Reserve/COVID list. He will miss Week 17.

Fantasy Impact:

Kupp's placement on the COVID list is due to an actual positive test rather than close contact so he is already ruled out for the Rams' big Week 17 matchup with Arizona. The Rams will be missing Kupp, Jared Goff, and possibly their top two running backs against the Cardinals. Josh Reynolds and Robert Woods will try to pick up the slack in the Ram passing game.

Broncos sign RB J.K. Dobbins to one-year deal

The Denver Broncos have agreed to a deal with running back J.K. Dobbins, adding another backfield option to a rotation that will be a work in progress as they move through training camp and into the regular season.

Related Players: RJ Harvey, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin

Fantasy Impact:

This could (hopefully) be a sign that the committee might be majorly led by Harvey/Dobbins, but we'll still see McLaughlin likely mixing in from time to time, and Estime could still handle a good amount of the goal-line work. Regardless, this is a situation to target on an offense that should continue to grow. Harvey should remain our top priority, but Dobbins is still intriguing, even if it feels doubtful that he makes it through a full healthy season.

Still no timetable for return for Colts QB Anthony Richardson

Colts HC Shane Steichen says Anthony Richardson (shoulder) still has no timetable for return. He went out to LA to visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the doctor who performed his AC joint surgery, to have his AC joint rechecked.

Related Players: Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

Things continue to trend in a terrible direction for Richardson. The narrative has always been that the young QB needs more reps, whether that's in practice or real games, and he's had multiple issues delivering. The starting job could very (very) well be Daniel Jones' in Week 1, and the market has moved toward him starting far more games than Richardson in 2025.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will miss mandatory minicamp

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will not be at mandatory veteran minicamp as he seeks a new contract.

Related Players: Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey

Fantasy Impact:

It's probably not the worst idea for McLaurin to capitalize on his massive 82-1096-13 first season with quarterback Jayden Daniels. We would expect this to clear itself up before it impacts the regular season, but we'll keep an eye on it.
