2. Kupp loves facing Saints

Any concerns over Cooper Kupp needing some extra time to return to his usual ways on offense have quickly gone out the window after looking the impact the wideout has made over the first two games, especially on Sunday in the win over the Saints.

Based off his history of torching New Orleans for the most part over the last two years, Kupp seemed like a strong candidate to have a big performance in Week 2 to help Los Angeles earn the hard-fought fun.

Turns out, this was exactly the case after Kupp led all Rams receivers by catching five passes for 120 yards, including an impressive 66-yard catch that game up just short of the end zone.

Looking back at the draft from 2017, it’s clear that Los Angeles earned one of the biggest steals by landing Kupp in the third round, and watching him continue to be a reliable target for Jared Goff has been incredible to witness.

Kupp still has a long way to go as far as the 2019 season is concerned, but as long as the wideout stays healthy, all signs point to a career year for the former Eastern Washington star while helping the Rams continue to be a major threat in the NFC.
