The weather is turning around most of the country. It’s time to break out those heavy jackets and gloves. Winter is coming. This is the time of year when many folks living in colder U.S. climates long for the warmth of places like sunny Southern California. Unless, of course, you play fantasy football. If you are a fantasy manager relying on players in Los Angeles, winter isn’t coming.
Winter is here.
In 2022, Los Angeles has been hell on Earth for fantasy managers. The latest development has been the demise of Cooper Kupp. Perhaps the most valuable fantasy player over the past season-and-a-half, the Rams receiver had just three catches for minus-1 yard in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Kupp has been highly productive all season despite his team’s season-long struggles, but this was his worst stat line in five years. But the real bad news is that Kupp left the game with an ankle injury, and it sounds like he may miss some playing time.
