BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 400
CURRENT ADP: ~464 overall
ANALYSIS: Cooper's 2021 season was cut short due to a sprained left elbow which required surgery. Before the injury, Cooper had hit nine home runs while hitting .284 over 71 games (250 plate appearances). Cooper also improved his walk rate to 12%, which is the best of his career. In addition, Cooper hit 15 home runs in 2019 and has hit at least .280 in each of the last three seasons. As a result, there has always been hope of big fantasy production from Cooper.
Recovery time for the surgery was estimated at three to four months, and Cooper appears on schedule. Roster Resource has Cooper platooning between the outfield, first base, and DH. Even if he platoons, which I do not think he will do a ton, he will still play plenty at all of those positions. That will also lead to excellent positional flexibility. He should play well over 100 games, and I am leaning towards 130 games. The ATC projections have Cooper playing in 106 games and hitting 15 home runs. That is still a decent floor, but I am projecting more. Cooper is a big-time target in DnH formats and even as a late-round dart in 15-team redraft leagues.
