BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Amari Cooper is a smart option for fantasy managers this week. While he hasn't seen many connections this season, racking up just 20 receptions on 47 targets, his consistent target volume is a promising sign for his potential production.
This indicates that he remains a focal point in the Browns' passing attack, and as quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to build chemistry with him, those targets could translate into more receptions and significant yardage.
Cooper's ability to stretch the field and create separation makes him a dangerous option, even if he hasn't fully capitalized on his opportunities yet.
This week, the Browns face the Eagles, a matchup that presents a solid opportunity for Cooper to turn his high target volume into tangible fantasy points.
If the Browns look to exploit weaknesses in the Eagles' secondary, Cooper’s role as a primary receiver could lead to a breakout performance.
With the potential for increased receptions, along with his ability to make big plays, fantasy managers should feel confident starting Cooper as a WR2.
His volume and skill set suggest that he has the upside to provide solid production against a formidable defense, making him a worthy addition to fantasy lineups this week. Fantasy managers should view Cooper as a solid WR2 this week.
Amari Cooper ranks 49th among wide receivers with 208 receiving yards in the first 5 weeks but ranks an easy 1st with 653 air yards, 83 more than Rashid Shaheed in 2nd place at the position.
