The Rams will have Cooper Kupp back, and could get Puka Nacua back as well. We break down the fantasy football implications.
The NFL returns for Week 8 and the Los Angeles Rams could be getting two key weapons back on offense when they face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp was cleared to return this week and was removed entirely from the final injury report on Wednesday. Fellow receiver Puka Nacua returned to practice this week after being designated to return, and is questionable for TNF.

Maxx Crosby is weighing in after New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo threw his team under the bus this week. And spoiler alert: he’s not a fan.
After Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, which dropped the Pats to 1-6, Mayo called his players “soft.” That assessment came after New England rushed for just 38 yards, allowed more than 170 yards on the ground, and gave up a 96-yard punt return on special teams in the ugly loss to the Jags.
“We’re a soft football team across the board,” Mayo said at the time.

Miami is a perfect 7-0, but the Hurricanes have yet to play a ranked team and have needed every crucial call to break their way to get there.

Turns out, Nick Saban is much better at winning football games than he is at picking winners of football games.
The former Alabama coach is a hit in his new role as an analyst on ESPN’s College GameDay. But his record in picking games leaves a lot of room for improvement.

Taylor Moore holds the early lead at the ZOZO Championship in Japan, but other stars stumbled on day one.
A strong mix of golfers are in Japan this week for the ZOZO Championship, but many PGA Tour stars find themselves nowhere near the top of the leaderboard after day one.
Xander Schauffele carded a 3-over 73 on Thursday and sits in a tie for 70th—only three shots better than dead last in this 78-man field.

Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty wasn’t a household name heading into the season. Sure, those of us who cover college football on an hour-by-hour basis knew who he was. However, there might have been some heads that turned sideways like a dog that heard a high-pitched sound when seeing his name on Heisman Trophy odds boards.
Things have changed quite a bit since then. Jeanty is now the Heisman front-runner at +210 at BetOnline after ripping off an astonishing 1,248 yards and 17 touchdowns in just six games. That meteoric rise could take a mental toll on lesser men. Not Jeanty, though.
