No. 3: Wide Receiver Josh Reynolds, Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams suffered a massive setback in Week 10, losing second-year slot wide receiver Cooper Kupp to a season-ending ACL tear.

That’s a tough blow, and it’s likely going to affect the high-flying Rams offense. But perhaps just to a point.

If you’re a fantasy football owner boasting either wide receiver Brandin Cooks or Robert Woods on your roster, great. If not, and you want to cash in on all those valuable Rams fantasy points, fellow wideout Josh Reynolds is an easy waiver-wire pickup.

Reynolds, 6-foot-3 and 196 pounds, has a size advantage similar to that of Kupp. And the way head coach Sean McVay used Kupp could translate over to Reynolds’ use for the rest of the season.

Granted, Reynolds isn’t expected to produce on the same level. But if you’re looking for a fill-in WR2 in PPR leagues, going after a guy owned by just 14.5 percent of owners is always a solid pick.

Especially against the overly weak Kansas City Chiefs defense playing in L.A.
