If Los Angeles really wants to trade Kupp, it will want to show other teams where he is health-wise. That might mean a bulk of the catches go Kupp’s way. Also, Nacua hasn’t played football in since the first week of the season.

Week 8 marks an odd time in the NFL schedule. It is a period after several teams have had their bye weeks, yet it's a time before many others do. Despite that, Week 8 is the eye of the storm. It's a rare moment where no NFL team is on bye for some reason.

Yet, the Packers still scored five points, and the success of the Vikings furthers this truth for me that I’d rather trust an elite defense in a bad matchup than roll the dice on a streamer in a plus matchup.
