BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low WR3/High WR4
ANALYSIS: With a recent trade to the Buffalo Bills, it is best to bench Amari Cooper in Week 7. After being traded from the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday, Cooper is still adjusting to his new team.

Offensive coordinator Joe Brady mentioned that the Bills are assessing Cooper's readiness before fully integrating him into the offense, saying, "If it's this week, it's this week. If it's next week, it's next week." While Cooper now has the benefit of playing with Josh Allen, a significant upgrade from Deshaun Watson, it is too early to start him.

Despite his career-high 1,250 receiving yards last season, he needs time to adapt. Additionally, the Bills face the Tennessee Titans, who concede the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Cooper should become the WR1 in Buffalo, but Week 7 is not the time to take that risk. Save him for future matchups when he is more comfortable in the offense.
