BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) is expected to play in his game against the Kansas City Chiefs today, despite his wrist injury. Cooper indicated that he thought he'd be available earlier in the week. He was held out of his past two contests due to his ailment.

Upside is what you should chase when you choose who to put in your starting lineups. Games are often won by outliers -- highly talented players who are able to put up big numbers. If Cooper is fully healthy, he could have a big game, simply because he's still a very good WR. Obviously, quarterback Josh Allen is great as well.
His Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks can probably be thrown out of your consideration. He likely picked up the injury in that contest, as he caught just one pass for three yards on two targets. Buffalo didn't invest draft capital in a trade for him to only throw the ball his way twice each week.
Since we don't know just how healthy he is, he's a risky start, but is worthy of your WR3/FLEX spots.
