Kupp had nine receptions (13 targets) for 136 yards and two touchdowns in Tuesday's 20-10 win over the Seahawks.

Seattle's defense had no answer for the Stafford to Kupp connection, resulting in yet another monster fantasy showing from the breakout superstar. Kupp has now posted three straight games with both 100-plus yards and a touchdown, his second such streak this season. Odell Beckham's presence (1-7-0) continued to not affect the Rams' true top offensive weapon either. Kupp will carry spectacular averages of 8.7 receptions, 116.1 yards and a touchdown per game into next Sunday's tilt against the Vikings.

Fountain (illness) was placed on the Chiefs' practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday, per the NFL transaction log.

Fountain tested positive for the virus, as all four players who landed on the practice squad COVID -19 lists were the result of a positive test, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. The 26-year-old has appeared in two games for the Chiefs this season.

Williams (illness) has returned to the Broncos' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Williams reportedly tested positive for the virus, so his return indicates he has provided two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart. He will now return to practice per usual.

Beasley won't be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots after he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday due to testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Because Beasley is abiding to the NFL protocols for unvaccinated players, he'll have to complete a 10-day quarantine following his positive test, regardless if he's asymptomatic or not. Since Beasley won't be eligible to rejoin the Bills until the middle of next week at the earliest, he'll miss out on a pivotal matchup with New England that could end up deciding the AFC East champion. With fellow wideout Emmanuel Sanders (knee) far from a safe bet to be available Sunday, the Bills could have to rely heavily on Gabriel Davis, Isaiah McKenzie and Jake Kumerow to pick up more reps alongside No. 1 receiver Stefon Diggs.

Shepherd was cut from the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was signed to the team's practice squad Friday, but with fellow wide receiver Trishton Jackson (illness) returning from the COVID-19 list, it appears like the team no longer needs Shepherd's services. Shepherd will now look for another opportunity to prove himself elsewhere.

Jackson was reinstated from the Vikings' practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday.

The wide receiver will rejoin the Vikings' practice squad after missing a week while going through COVID-19 protocols. Jackson has yet to make his NFL debut and will remain a depth option for the team.

Moore (ankle) was estimated as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Moore was forced out of this past Sunday's loss at Detroit due to an ankle injury and underwent an MRI on Monday. The results of that examination are unknown, but the rookie wide receiver isn't being ruled out for a Saturday matchup with the Colts in Week 16, as head coach Kliff Kingsbury labeled Moore as day-to-day, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. That being said, Moore wouldn't have practiced if the Cardinals had held a formal session Tuesday, and Kingsbury admitted that the wideout isn't expected to do much in practices Wednesday and Thursday, either. Even if he's not ruled out for Saturday's game, Moore will likely carry a designation into the contest.

Davis' teammate Cole Beasley was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

The early thought is Beasley is set to miss Sunday's game in New England. While we'll await official word on that, starting receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) seems like a sketchy proposition for that game as well, meaning if Davis is somehow still on your league's waiver wire you'll want to queue that up. The second-year wideout has four touchdowns over his last three games -- even if the matchup proves to be as tough as it seems on paper, Davis looks to be out there for at least 85 percent of the offensive plays. Davis has either a TD catch or 100 receiving yards in all four games where he's seen at least half the offensive snaps this season.

Hill was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

He was one of seven Chiefs to test positive Tuesday, bringing the number of players on the organization's reserve/COVID-19 list up to 14. If vaccinated, Hill will still have a chance at being cleared for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but his availability will hinge on him being asymptomatic of the virus. Star tight end Travis Kelce (illness) also tested positive Monday, so quarterback Patrick Mahomes could be without his top two pass catchers Week 16.

St. Brown (concussion) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate.

St. Brown sat out Sunday's win over the Ravens after suffering the concussion Week 14, and Tuesday would have been his first time back on the field if the Packers had held a session. The 25-year-old will need to fully clear the protocol for head injuries to have a chance of suiting up Saturday versus Cleveland.
