Amari Cooper Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Cooper exited midway through the second quarter after suffering an apparent head injury on a hit from two Rams defenders. He was taken to the locker room and quickly entered concussion protocol. As a result, he was ruled out for the rest of the game.
The veteran receiver finished Week 13 with three catches on five targets, totaling 34 yards.
Postgame, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Cooper was diagnosed with a concussion.
Amari Cooper Fantasy Football Outlook
Cooper has struggled to adjust with Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) replacing Deshaun Watson (shoulder), as well as Joe Flacco filling in during Week 13. He has just nine catches for 82 yards over his last three games, scoring only one touchdown since Week 3.
It's rare for players to clear concussion protocol in less than one week, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without him next Sunday versus Jacksonville. He won't be available as managers endure the final stretch before the fantasy playoffs.
With Cooper sidelined, Elijah Moore should handle a heavy workload in Week 14, ranking as a WR3/FLEX option in fantasy football. David Njoku, Kareem Hunt, Jerome Ford, and Cedric Tillman should also see increased opportunities.
