Los Angeles Rams Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Rams K Joshua Karty (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Karty should be nowhere near Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. He avoided IR but is still looking at a multi-game absence. The Rams are down to Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell as their top four WRs. See where those guys land in our Week 3 Rankings.

The Rams "have no plans" to place WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) on IR, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. OL Jonah Jackson and S John Johnson landed on IR today, but Kupp did not.

Rams HC Sean McVay says WR Cooper Kupp is expected to miss “an extended period of time” and might hit IR, according to ESPN’s Sarah Barshop. If IR is just a maybe, that indicates the timeline sits around four games. With Puka Nacua already out, there’s clear opportunity the next few weeks for other Rams WRs and TE Colby Parkinson. You can also expect to not see QB Matthew Stafford high in our weekly rankings. Check your Free Agent Finder to see who might make sense for your situation

Rams RB Kyren Williams ran the ball 12 times for 25 yards and a TD. He also caught four passes for 27 yards. With WR Cooper Kupp being knocked out of the game, the Cardinals focused in on the run and held Williams to a paltry 2.1 yards per carry. Though his fantasy day wasn’t awful, it was less than is expected from the stud RB.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp injured his left ankle near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He's been deemed doubtful to return. We'll look for further updates on the injury, but this could be disastrous for a Rams team already without WR Puka Nacua for at least three more games -- and likely more. L.A. is now down to WRs Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington.

Rams WR Puka Nacua could miss 5-7 weeks with his PCL injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) will miss at least the next four games after going on IR. But HC Sean McVay suggested on Wednesday that Nacua might end up missing more time than that.

Rams HC Sean McVay said Monday that the team is placing WR Puka Nacua on IR after he aggravated his right knee injury in Sunday night's loss to the Lions, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Nacua is dealing with a PCL sprain that he reportedly hurt in a "more significant" way against Detroit.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp had an incredible Sunday Night Football performance with 14 catches (on 21 targets) for 110 yards and a TD. He stepped up after WR Puka Nacua was knocked out of the game with a knee injury causing Kupp to be the focal receiver in the offense. He helped the Rams gain a late lead, but it was not enough for the Rams to beat the Lions

Rams WR Puka Nacua injured a knee in the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Lions and was ruled out at halftime. This appeared to be the same right knee that Nacua hurt on August 4, sidelining him for about three weeks. We'll look for further updates on his status going forward.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 1 injury report. Lock him into fantasy lineups for Sunday night’s likely shootout vs. the Lions.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He missed most of August after suffering a bursa sac injury to his knee. But the Rams never seemed worried about Nacua's Week 1 availability, and he's been back on the practice field since August 26. Today's full practice is final confirmation that Nacua will be ready for his usual role vs. the Lions on Sunday night. Get him into fantasy lineups.

Rams HC Sean McVay said Thursday that WR Puka Nacua will be "ready to roll" for Week 1. He suffered a bursa sac injury to his knee on August 4 but got back on the practice field on Monday and is now a full-go, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Rams' trade this week of lead LB Ernest Jones to the Titans left a hole in the starting lineup. HC Sean McVay "indicated" that Troy Reeder will step up to play next to incumbent Christian Rozeboom, according to the team's website.

Rams HC Sean McVay said Tuesday that RB Kyren Williams will open the season as the primary punt returner. Williams returned just three punts last year -- all in the first three weeks of the season.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) returned to the practice field on Monday. He participated in individual drills in the portion of practice open to the media.

Rams HC Sean McVay loved what he saw from rookie WR Jordan Whittington in Sunday's preseason opener vs. the Cowboys. Whittington caught six of nine targets for 74 yards. “He’s gonna be a factor for us," McVay said after the game.

Rams HC Sean McVay confirmed that WR Puka Nacua is week-to-week with his knee injury but isn't in danger of missing the start of the season. McVay added that Nacua has a bursa sac injury but no structural damage to the knee.

Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury, landing on his bursa sac, at practice yesterday and is considered week-to-week. Sources told Adam Schefter that it is "not serious".
