Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rams coach Sean McVay said Cooper Kupp (ankle) is “trending in the right direction.”

McVay was non-committal on Kupp’s availability for Week 7. Kupp did individual work on Wednesday but was held out of team drills, meaning he should be listed as a DNP on LA’s injury report. Kupp has been out since Week 2 and has struggled through injuries over the past three years. As desperate as the Rams are to get him back, they are going to be understandably cautious with his return. If he can’t suit up for Week 7, Jordan Whittington, Demarcus Robinson, and Tutu Atwell will be the Rams’ starting trio of receivers.
James Cook

BUF Running Back #4

James Cook (toe) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Cook was expected to play through the toe injury last week despite being listed as questionable. He was surprisingly listed as inactive ahead of kickoff, though the Bills did call up a running back from their practice squad over the weekend, foreshadowing Cook’s eventual absence. A limited session on Wednesday is a good start to the week, though his status remains up in the air. If he can’t suit up, Ray Davis, who turned 23 touches into 152 yards last week, will draw his second start.
Najee Harris

PIT Running Back #22

Najee Harris (ribs) did not practice Wednesday.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported the rib injury “doesn’t sound like a cause for great concern.” Harris is a grinder who has no issue playing through injuries. Barring a setback, we fully expect to him play this week. He is coming off his best showing of the year with 106 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. With Jaylen Warren playing a limited role, Harris remains in the RB2 ranks for Week 7.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane (concussion) is practicing in full for Week 7 against the Colts.

A full practice means Achane will clear the league’s concussion protocol shortly. He should be good to go for his Week 7 matchup with Indy. The Colts have been gashed on the ground this year and the Dolphins are still without Tua Tagovailoa. Expect another run-heavy approach from Miami spearheaded by Achane, who ranks as a low-end RB1 this week.
Aaron Jones

MIN Running Back #33

Aaron Jones (hip) did not practice Wednesday.

Jones went down with the hip injury in Week 5 and did not return. He got an extra week of rest with the Vikings on bye last week, but he may still be forced to miss their upcoming game versus the Lions. Minnesota’s trade for Cam Akers also points toward Jones missing at least a week. Ty Chandler would see the bulk of the Vikings’ touches if Jones is ruled out, putting him on RB2 notice pending Jones’s status.
Jordan Mason

SF Running Back #24

Jordan Mason (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Mason suffered a sprained AC joint in the 49ers’ Week 6 win over Seattle. Head coach Kyle Shanahan called him day-to-day after the Thursday game. The extra days of recovery undoubtedly helped San Francisco’s latest RB1 get back on the field by their first injury report of the week. A limited session suggests Mason has a good chance at suiting up in Week 7 versus the Chiefs.
Rashid Shaheed

NO Wide Receiver #22

Saints coach Dennis Allen said Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus and there is a chance he will be placed on injured reserve.

Shaheed is obviously out for Week 7 versus the Broncos and will miss a few more games if injured reserve is a possibility. With Chris Olave also out, the Saints are down to Bub Means as their top receiver. The rookie caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 6. He is worth adding as a potential WR4 in all fantasy formats.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

Chris Olave (concussion) will not play in Week 7 against the Broncos.

Olave suffered the concussion early in the Saints’ Week 6 loss to the Bucs and did not return. He has suffered multiple previous concussions and did not practice this week, so it’s no surprise to see him ruled out a day in advance. Rashid Shheed’s status remains up in the air. If he is also ruled out, Bub Means will be the team’s de facto WR1.
Diontae Johnson

CAR Wide Receiver #5

Diontae Johnson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Johnson has been playing through the ankle issue for the past two weeks. He was a limited participant in all three of Week 6’s practices before being listed as questionable. It’s likely that today’s DNP is part of a workload management regimen that could last a few more weeks. Barring any setbacks, Johnson should contniue to push through the ankle injury.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Anthony Richardson (oblique) is practicing in full for Week 7 against the Dolphins.

Shane Steichen has said repeatedly that Richardson is the Colts’ starter when healthy and he will play this week barring any setbacks. A full practice on Wednesday suggests he is back to full strength, though he started last week full before going “limited” on Friday. Richardson’s accuracy issue and a lack of elite rushing output were already putting him on the edge of the QB1 ranks before the oblique injury. In his first game back, Richardson will sit at the top of the QB2 ranks. Again, that’s if he plays. The team could continue to shift the goalposts here, though we ultimately expect Richardson to start this weekend.
