Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle injury. Despite participating in three limited practices this week, Wilson is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2. In his absence, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin are set to step up as the team's No. 2 and No. 3 wide receivers, although they are not considered strong fantasy options.

The Atlanta Falcons will be without their top receiver Drake London due to a groin injury. London leads the team in targets, receptions, yards, and is tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns. He has been targeted at least six times in his last seven games and has had at least five catches and over 50 yards receiving in each of his last four games. With London out, the Falcons will look to Mack Hollins, KhaDarel Hodge, and Van Jefferson at receiver, or potentially move tight end Kyle Pitts to some of London's routes.

Falcons wide receiver Drake London will miss Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a groin injury. This leaves Atlanta with a limited wide receiver group, but tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith are expected to see increased targets. Running backs Bijan Robinson and Cordarrelle Patterson may also have expanded roles in the passing game.

Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay said that trading Van Jefferson allowed the team to "accommodate both sides" in a contract year for the fourth-year receiver. Jefferson was traded to the Falcons in a deal that landed the Rams a 2025 sixth-round pick. McVay mentioned that there was "some honest dialogue" about Jefferson's opportunities moving forward and that he felt better about not having to worry about Cooper Kupp's injury week-to-week after seeing him play a full game.

The Los Angeles Rams traded wide receiver Van Jefferson and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2025 sixth-rounder. Jefferson had seen significant playing time with Cooper Kupp injured, but his role diminished upon Kupp's return. He now joins a wide receiver-needy team in Atlanta.

The Rams traded WR Van Jefferson and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Falcons for a 2025 sixth-rounder. Jefferson is unlikely to have fantasy relevance in Atlanta.

The Atlanta Falcons have traded for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson. The trade involves a swap of 2025 draft picks. Jefferson has struggled to secure a substantial role this season due to the emergence of rookie star Puka Nacua and second-year receiver Tutu Atwell. He has just eight catches for 108 yards on 15 receiving targets over the Rams' first five games.

The Los Angeles Rams are considering trading wide receiver Van Jefferson, who has struggled to secure a substantial role this season. Jefferson was a key contributor to the Rams' Super Bowl run in 2021 but has seen limited playing time due to the emergence of rookie Puka Nacua and second-year receiver Tutu Atwell. The Rams have been in contact with Jefferson's representatives, and he is open to finding a new team. Jefferson has just eight catches for 108 yards on 15 targets in the first five games of the season.

Cooper Kupp, wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. He aggravated the injury last week and will be eligible to return in Week 5 at the earliest. In his absence, Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua, and Tyler Higbee are expected to see more receiving opportunities.

The Rams have placed wide receiver Cooper Kupp on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, sidelining him for at least the first four games of the season. Fantasy owners should consider stashing Kupp on their bench and look to Van Jefferson as the new No. 1 wide receiver for the Rams. Tight end Tyler Higbee could also see an increase in targets without Kupp.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp may be placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, according to coach Sean McVay. The timing of the transaction will determine the length of Kupp's potential absence, with a minimum of four games if he is placed on IR before Friday or Saturday. Kupp has been dealing with the hamstring injury since August and aggravated it last week. In his absence, the Rams will rely on Van Jefferson, Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua, Ben Skowronek, and Demarcus Robinson at wide receiver.

Coach Sean McVay acknowledged that Cooper Kupp's timetable for a return from his hamstring injury has yet to be determined. Kupp is already ruled out for the season opener and his status beyond Week 1 is unclear.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been ruled out for Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. Kupp suffered a setback in his rehab and sought the advice of a specialist. There is a possibility that he could be placed on injured reserve, which would mean he would miss at least the first four games of the season. Van Jefferson is expected to step up as the Rams' WR1 in Kupp's absence.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is seeing a specialist for his hamstring injury. Kupp had a setback last week and remains day-to-day. Coach Sean McVay hopes to have more clarity on Kupp's availability for Week 1 by Wednesday. Kupp's absence has allowed other receivers like Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell to grow and develop.
