Cooper Kupp has been an outstanding receiver for the Los Angeles Rams since he came into the league as a third-round pick last year, but unfortunately, his 2018 season is over after just eight games played. Kupp suffered a torn ACL on Sunday against the Seahawks and is out for the year, a crushing blow for Los Angeles.
While he’s not the most explosive receiver and only plays in the slot, he was an important piece of the offense – possibly the toughest receiver on the roster to replace. The Rams will have to figure out a way to do just that, but it won’t be easy.
This stat shows just exactly how reliable Kupp was for Jared Goff this season, producing the highest passer rating when targeted of any receiver in the NFL.
The Rams have two very capable receivers in Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks, who have each been excellent this season, but Goff leans on Kupp more than his other wideouts. He’s the safety valve underneath who he can trust to make a play after the catch and gain valuable yardage.
That passer rating says everything you need to know about the player Kupp is for Los Angeles.
