BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should consider starting Amari Cooper in their lineup this week against the Las Vegas Raiders due to his recent outstanding performance and favorable role in the Browns' offense.
Last week, Cooper demonstrated his elite potential with seven receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns, finishing as the WR5 in PPR leagues.
His ability to produce big numbers highlights his talent and underscores the chemistry he has developed with quarterback Deshaun Watson, making him a reliable option in the passing game. Cooper currently ranks third in the NFL in total targets through three weeks, which indicates that he is a focal point of the Browns' offense.
This high volume of targets is critical for fantasy success, especially in a matchup against the Raiders, who have struggled defensively against wide receivers.
The biggest bright spot from Sunday was Amari Cooper looked like the WR1 we all know he is.
7 receptions.

With Cooper’s proven ability to make big plays and his consistent usage, he presents a high ceiling for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on his momentum and exploit a favorable matchup this week.
Starting him could pay off handsomely, given his recent form and significant role in the game plan. Fantasy managers should view him as a WR2 this week.
