Kupp has been held in check, for the most part, the last two weeks, catching just three of seven targets for 53 yards – 50 yards of which came on one play. The Steelers blanked him in Week 10 and the Rams lost that game 17-12, doing next to nothing on offense. That’s not a coincidence.

Kupp needs a strong performance against the Ravens in order for the Rams to have success on offense. He’s been the Rams’ best playmaker on that side of the ball this season and Goff’s favorite target. His ability to make plays after the catch greatly benefits Goff, too, taking pressure off him to push the ball downfield.
