Cooper Kupp's season is likely over. One of the best wide receivers in the NFL faces a six to eight-week spell out after going under the knife this past week due to a high ankle sprain.
This season has been a trying one for Kupp, Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, and just about anyone associated with the Los Angeles Rams. Nothing seems to be sticking for the outfit, and now the Rams are losing their best player at the most important time of the regular season.
News of Kupp's recovery timeframe spells doom for Fantasy League owners with him on their rosters. However, here we don't rely on sentiments; rather, we will give you a factual solution to this problem.

Cooper Kupp's value as a fantasy pick
You should drop Cooper Kupp from your Fantasy lineup. An injury like his, coupled with his franchise's poor record, means that Kupp's chances of seeing the Gridiron this season are next to zero.
Kupp has always been a fantasy stud, with the six-year veteran ranked as the fifth-best wide receiver based on fantasy points at present. However, with him not likely to play again, there's no point in having him on your team. Instead, it would be smarter to acquire a profitable wide receiver like Rondale Moore, Jakobi Meyers, or even JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Cooper Kupp's fantasy outlook moving forward
The timeline does not favor a return in 2022 unless the Rams quickly turn around their season to make the playoffs, which seems unlikely. In redraft leagues, fantasy managers who roster Kupp should stash him on IR in case he returns. He could be dropped as a last resort for those desperate in non-keeper, non-dynasty leagues.
Cooper Kupp's 2022 NFL Stats
Kupp famously plays an intrinsic part in head coach Sean McVay's subpar offense this season. Before his potentially season-ending injury, the wideout was on pace to almost equal his 2021-22 season numbers across several boards. This is despite his quarterback Matthew Stafford having a severe drop-off from his Super Bowl-winning season last year.
Kupp has compiled a very impressive stat line of 75 receptions, 812 receiving yards, and six touchdowns in nine games this season.
