The Rams don’t play until Sunday, but given Kupp’s history with ankle injuries, there’s reason to be concerned about his availability this week against the Cardinals. Injuries to both Kupp himself and quarterback Matthew Stafford have marred his 2023 season, with Kupp being able to muster just 11.6 PPR points per game in six active games this year. While Kupp still very much has a chance to suit up come Sunday afternoon, fantasy managers should pay careful attention to updates on his status throughout the week. There’s a chance that he could play at less than 100%, as well, making Puka Nacua the preferred start against Arizona this week regardless of whether or not Kupp is ready to go. With tough matchups on deck in Weeks 13 and 14 against the Browns and Ravens, respectively, fantasy managers who were counting on Kupp to be the catalyst to a playoff run are staring down a dark three-game stretch upcoming for the former overall WR1.
