Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game vs. Raiders. Sean McVay says decision could come closer to the game.

Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play vs. Raiders, Sean McVay said. OL Joe Noteboom (ankle) will not be activated from IR this week.

We would obivously rather have a clear understanding of the WR room heading into the weekend, but as it stands, Kupp should re-join the team and be considered a fantasy WR2 if he suits up.

Rashid Shaheed has been placed on IR

The Saints depth chart has quickly gone from "meh" to awful in the span of a few days. Avoid everyone.

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp will workout with trainers today but no determination has been made about his availability for Sunday’s game against Raiders, McVay said. Puka Nacua will not practice this week.

There was some hope before the bye week that Kupp would be ready to go in Week 7, and that still looks like it could be possible, however certainly not a lock at this point. Owners will want to monitor Kupp's status leading up to Week 7 games. The Rams host the Raiders in a later Sunday game, so the matchup would be a nice one, but waiting on Kupp will come with risks if he's a game-time call. If Kupp can't go, the Rams have been going with a combination of Robinson, Atwell, Whittington and Johnson at the wideout position, all of which come with their own risks if in your lineup.

Alvin Kamara was at practice today. Rashid Shaheed was not.

Kamara could have a massive role in the offense this weekend if he's a full go, with rookie Spencer Rattler seeing his first NFL action. If he ends up missing, the team has already shown that they don't trust Miller, so Williams would presumably operate as the RB1.

Cooper Kupp has missed three games, and the Rams are on their off week this week.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp’s return for Week 7 would be “an ideal target” but “by no means is that guaranteed.”

Kupp has not played since Week 2 when he injured his ankle against the Cardinals. The Rams did not place him on injured reserve, hoping he would miss fewer than four games, the story said. Kupp's return will help a banged up Rams WR group that still has Nacua out of commission. Whittington went for 7-89-0 and was targeted 10 times as well Atwell who finished 6-58-0 last week. Robinson had the lone TD catch but had a 3-28-1 line on five targets. Parkinson was targeted a team-high 13 times and went for 7-52-0.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday at Green Bay.

QB Sam Darnold (knee), edge Dallas Turner (knee) and LT Christian Darrisaw (illness) also off the final injury report.

Related Players: Justin Jefferson, Jalen Nailor

This all but eradicates Nailor's fantasy value, but he is likely to still be in the mix, which puts a cap on Addison in his first week back since the second half of Week 1. Both of them are nothing more than desperation Flex options in Week 4.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) sounds like he expects to return on Sunday against the Patriots. Says he's "very excited to play football" and "feeling fantastic."

Related Players: Eric Saubert

With Deebo Samuel more or less in the same boat, the 49ers are looking forward to getting some reinforcements after a brutal stretch of injuries. Kittle would be an absolute must-start if he returns in time for Sunday.

There won’t be any suspense about wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s status this week.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday that Kupp has been ruled out for the team’s Week 4 game against the Bears.

Kupp injured his ankle in Week 2. The story said the early decision to rule him out suggests he’ll be off the practice field again this week, but the team did not put Kupp on injured reserve so it would seem they expect him to play by Week 7 — they have a bye in Week Six — at the latest. Atwell led the way with a 4-93-0 line with Robinson going for 1-32-0. Whittington added a line of 3-28-0 and Johnson had 3-20-0. With Puka Nacua also out for at least two more weeks, the Rams WR situation seems a bit tricky for fantasy owners.

Vikings QB Sam Darnold’s MRI revealed a knee bruise.

The post added there was no structural damage. Darnold isn't expected to miss any time, but owners will want to keep an eye on his practice status this week just in case. The Vikings are at the Packers in Week 4, which is an early Sunday contest.
