Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Cooper Kupp sitting out Week 1 is the ‘likely outcome’
According to Ian Rapoport, Cooper Kupp, who suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury, is unlikely to suit up before he’s 100% healthy, making it unlikely for him to play in Week 1 against Seattle.
Fantasy Impact
Kupp’s injury is concerning, given the WR’s age. Many concerning factors complicate Kupp’s range of outcomes for the 2023 season, and missing time outright does not help. Kupp led all WRs in PPG before getting injured mid-way through 2022 and was the overall WR1 in 2021. Drafting Kupp at his current ADP is a risky bet, but if/when he returns to play, there is no doubt he has elite upside.

Zack Moss expected back by Week 2 or 3
Zack Moss, recovering from a broken wrist, is expected to return in Week 2 or 3.
Fantasy Impact
Deon Jackson is expected to start in his stead, but once Moss returns, he likely leads the Colts’ backfield while Jonathan Taylor is out. There is a possibility Moss is the lead back for the majority of the year if the Taylor situation remains unsolved or he is traded. Even though Moss profiles to be the lead back, the Colts will likely operate a committee backfield, and especially with a rushing quarterback at the helm their ceiling is capped.
