Let him rest this week and see if he’s ready to go next week. Hopefully Kyren is back so that will help out as well.

I agree I would sit him out next week, as the likes of Robinson & Trammel seemed to be viable options for Stafford and like @FaulkSF communicated, Williams should be back too.

Sit him. A rested/healthy Kupp is a great asset, but not if he is at 70%.

I honestly think the offense has looked better/more consistent in Kupp’s absence. He just hasn’t looked 100% to me this season. Who knows just how that hammy is feeling from week to week. They can be a nightmare. You think you’re ok and then one cut or sprint and it starts all over again. He’s seemed tentative and slow.

Yesterday was the first time the Rams really targeted Atwell when Kupp is in the lineup. The Rams should try to push the deep ball to Atwell once a quarter. Yesterday was the first time I’ve seen him drop a catchable pass (he’s usually very sure handed) and he’s about the fastest guy out there.

I didn't think it was anything too bad, because he was jumping around trying to shake it off on the sideline.

I do wonder how much of Atwell's success depends on him running routes from the F which is Kupp's main position. It's a percentage just not sure what percentage it is.

It sucks to say it, but my brother and I were talking about this during the game. Kupp is easily one of my favorite Rams of all time but something just seems off with him. I don't know if maybe the hamstring is still a lingering issue. I really thought that when Kupp returned against Philly that he and Puka were going to be a problem for teams but it just hasn't materialized yet.

McVay has historically owned the Cardinals and Williams comes back this week which should give the run game (and the whole offense) a shot in the arm. I think it would be a good idea to rest Kupp this week. And, if the offense performs well, maybe consider letting Kupp rest until he is close to 100%. Just my 2 cents.

I think you suit him up, but just not play him. This way, they have to prep as if he's in.

I agree he needs to heal up and if we can't beat the Cards without him, we're toast anyway so let the youngins eat a little to prep for next season.

hopefully he will only miss the Arizona game. This along with Puka's shoulder makes me very worried about our passing game vs the Cardinals
 
Sit him if you must this week and have him ready for Cleveland. I’m kinda thinking rotating him with Puka could work out in the future. Make Stafford get used to throwing to both. He sure locks in on Kupp when he’s in.
 
I watch Kupp and not only love the way he plays but he's not one of those cocky types who has to beat his chest or run to the camera or dance. He just casually acts like he's been there before and I love that there's still a small handful of players like that. I never thought expending extra energy to hype yourself after a play did anything for anyone. I see those types and shake my head. The only time I remember Coop going nuts was in the NFCCG vs the whiners after that one catch and he got up and flexed and shouted to the heavens. That was awesome. He doesn't do that all the time but he makes it count when he does. I wish more players behaved that way but sadly we're in a different era than the times when I first started watching the NFL. I loved Billy White shoes, but now not so much when everyone is doing it and for every damn play they make.

Do you remember what Hall of Fame WR Charley Taylor did every time he scored a touchdown?
 
Honestly WAY better than i expected. I watched that play and replay and feared an Achilles injury. The way I've seen those get stretched lately, I just feared the worst. So glad I'm wrong.

Whatever anyone wants to think- The Rams Sunday we’re better off without him.

I wish him well,but he is battling through some things.I’d rather him sit out this coming week against Arizona?
