Cooper Kupp could officially record first 1,000-yard season for Rams during Week 13

Cooper Kupp is 120 receiving yards away from recording his first 1,000-yard season with the Los Angeles Rams.

After suffering a torn ACL last November, the Los Angeles Rams didn’t really know what to expect from Cooper Kupp during the 2019 season since that kind of injury is never easy to overcome, no matter who the player happens to be.

During the 2017 NFL Draft when the Rams were in desperate need of help at the wide receiver position, the team felt confident enough in using a third-round pick on Kupp, despite some of the concerns in the wideout coming from a smaller school in Eastern Washington.

As football fans have seen on display over the last three seasons, Kupp has found a way to become one of the top receivers in the NFL, and there’s no question he’s turned out to be one of the biggest steals from the draft in 2017.

What has been even more exciting for the Rams is Kupp’s recovery seems to have made him faster and stronger this season, which is part of the reason he’s been able to have a career year.

Through 11 games, Kupp has 67 catches for 880 yards to go along with five touchdowns, meaning the wideout only needs another 120 receiving yards to hit the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his NFL career.

This may not seem like the biggest deal in the world since the main focus for the Rams at the moment is finding a way to secure one of the playoff spots in the NFC, but also Kupp’s play could be key to help make this happen.

Playoffs may seem like a long shot at the moment with the Rams currently on the outside looking in at the moment, but until it becomes official, Los Angeles is going to continue fighting.

There have been numerous times throughout the 2019 season in which Kupp has put together some monster games for the Rams, and Sunday’s meeting with the Arizona Cardinals seems like the perfect opportunity for another one.

If Kupp can take advantage of Arizona focusing most of their attention on other key players such as Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods, this could be the perfect opportunity for the wideout to get the 120 receiving yards for the accomplishment.

And if not, well at least the following weekend will be another solid opportunity for Kupp to pull it off, although the preference would obviously be Sunday.
