Kupp is out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks with a concussion.

Kupp was having a nice day before leaving the game, compiling six catches (on nine targets) for 90 yards and a six-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Brandin Cooks also left the contest concussed, so a heavy share of the passing game will likely fall on the shoulders of Robert Woods and second-year wideout Josh Reynolds. Kupp will need to clear the league's protocol before returning to action and will be hoping to do so before Week 6's road matchup with the Broncos.

Coutee (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

Coutee burst onto the scene in his NFL debut Week 4, logging 11 catches (on 15 targets) for 109 yards in the Texans' 37-34 overtime win over the Colts. The continued presence of wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller (hamstring) will make duplicating those numbers in the coming weeks quite a challenge for Coutee, more so Sunday night, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network having previously indicated that if the young slot man did play Week 5, he'd have to play in pain.

Cooks has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a concussion.

Cooks took a huge shot to the head after being targeted on a pass from Jared Goff and was visibly shaken. With Cooper Kupp also out with a concussion, Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds will be leaned on heavily in the Rams passing game. Cooks will finish the game without a catch.

Hill caught four of seven targets for 61 yards and added 26 yards on two carries during Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jaguars.

After two relatively quiet games against the 49ers and Broncos, Hill showed a little more spark against a stout Jaguars defense on Sunday. Hill is often a gamble, and you pay a premium in case he goes off with a big receiving day with his speed. Sunday was a step in the right direction after a mini-slump, but a matchup with New England should bring its own challenges as, despite some warts, the Patriots defense ranks in the top 10 in limiting opponents' yards per reception.

Kupp is under evaluation for a concussion potentially suffered Sunday at Seattle.

Kupp is the second Rams wide receiver to undergo tests for a head injury, joining Brandin Cooks in the locker room. If he's unable to return, Kupp will end the game with six receptions (on nine targets) for 90 yards and one touchdown. Robert Woods, Josh Reynolds and KhaDarel Hodge are the only healthy LA wideouts at the moment.

Samuel (chest) caught two of four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-31 win over the Giants.

Samuel made his season debut after receiving clearance from a heart issue, marking the occasion with a 25-yard touchdown reception to get his team on the board in the fourth quarter. His only other catch resulted in a 12-yard gain, but it was still a respectable showing for the second-year wideout. Samuel should step into more of a role in the offense with time and will look to build on this effort next Sunday against the Redskins.

Grant (undisclosed) did not log a catch during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.

Grant did record an impressive 71-yard punt return touchdown on special teams but did not log a single offensive stat. The speedy wideout once again showcased his big-play ability but doesn't have a consistent enough role in Miami's offense to warrant attention in most fantasy formats. Grant also exited the game after suffering an undisclosed injury during the opening kickoff but did manage to return to the field.

Cooks was taken to the locker room for a likely concussion evaluation during the second quarter of Sunday's game at Seattle, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

There wasn't a flag on the helmet-to-helmet hit from Seahawks safety Tedric Thompson, but Cooks doesn't seem like a candidate to return to the game. Upcoming tests will determine whether he has a chance to do so. In the meantime, targets likely will filter down to Josh Reynolds behind Cooks' fellow starters Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp.

Shepard caught four of seven targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Panthers.

Shepard finished second on the team in targets, finishing behind only Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley in receiving yardage. He broke off a long gain of 28 yards and could have had a bigger day if not for a couple of misfires from Eli Manning. Shepard is now averaging 6.7 catches to go along with 77.3 receiving yards per game over his last three, and he'll look to continue his recent form Thursday against the Eagles.

Davis caught four of six passes for 49 yards during Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Bills.

Davis continued to work efficiently Sunday -- he's hauled in close to 70 percent of his targets this season -- but was held back by lack of volume. In spite of that, he still produced the longest play the Titans offense mustered, a 23-yard catch across the middle of the field midway through the third quarter. Davis has led the team in targets in four of five games this season, but has been held back by inconsistent quarterback play and a conservative offensive approach.
