The Los Angeles Rams have asked wideout Cooper Kupp to step up the last couple of games with WR Robert Woods on the sideline with a shoulder injury. Kupp has at least six targets and five catches in the last four games for the Rams. The rookie receiver caught five passes for 68 yards in the Week 13 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Kupp only had one five-reception game prior to Week 9. Despite the uptick in production, the third-round pick has not scored a touchdown in the last five Rams outings.

The Rams will rely on Kupp to pick up the slack for Woods again Sunday versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have a lax passing defense, but they have a good slot cornerback in Patrick Robinson. The Eagles have given up the third-fewest touchdowns to receivers this season.
Fantasy impact: Kupp remains a top target for QB Jared Goff in the Rams’ receiving corps. He does not score much, unfortunately. Since Robert Woods went down Kupp is getting a lot more targets and his receiving yards reflect that. He does not have an easy matchup at home Sunday. The rookie slot receiver still gets enough action to be a WR2 or flex starter this week.
