BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper has struggled in the early stages of the 2024 season. While his talent and the fact he's played 95% and 88% of the team's snaps means he can't be a full fade, he should be cautiously used as a WR3 this week.
The problem is that the Browns passing attack is struggling. Deshaun Watson has had issues moving the football down the field, and Cooper has had issues actually bringing the ball in when it's come his way. He has four drops on the season and just five catches for 27 yards. That's despite his 17 targets.

There's some upside in this matchup with the Giants, but it's just really tough to trust this Browns offense right now, as the team hasn't scored 20 points in a game yet. If you have multiple top-25 options at receiver on your team, you may consider benching Cooper, but otherwise you'll have to cross your fingers and play him.
