BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) is currently dealing with a wrist issue, and was limited at practice on Wednesday. He wasn't able to play in Week 9, so his status will need to be monitored by fantasy managers heading into Week 10. There's a chance he could miss another contest.
WR Amari Cooper says the biggest hurdle for him to overcome in terms of getting back on the field after missing this past week’s game against MIA is pain management. Still has his injured wrist heavily wrapped as seen midway through this video #Bills #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/871GzUGCcy

If he is eventually able to play, he's worth a start as a WR3/FLEX option. He didn't do much of anything in Week 8 after a nice debut in Week 7 -- in his first game with his new team, he caught four of his five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown, but in the next game, he caught just one of two targets for three yards.
It's unclear what his eventual workload will be with the team, but managers should temper expectations initially. He's still clearly dealing with pain due to his ailment, and it's possible the team could refrain from throwing it to him heavily and have him serve as a decoy.

When healthy, his talent warrants a starting position in fantasy lineups, and he's more of a WR2 with WR1 upside when given enough targets. Things are murky right now, though. Expect better days ahead, but they may not start this week.
