Raiders trade WR Amari Cooper to Cowboys

Oct 22, 2018

Jon Gruden is shipping another young talent out of town.

The Dallas Cowboys are acquiring receiver Amari Cooper in a trade with the Oakland Raiders, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Oakland will receive a first-round pick from Dallas in the deal, Rapoport added.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper will have the Week 8 bye to get acclimated and will likely slide in as the team's No. 1 option in the passing game. He has been an enigma over the past season-plus, but he's still just 24-years-old and has two, 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. From a rest-of-season standpoint, there is some upside here, though he's joining a new (typically run-heavy) offense in the middle of the season, so there's some downside as well. Consider him a WR4 with WR3 upside if things break his way. If Dak Prescott peppers him with nine-plus targets per game, which is unlikely, he could achieve WR2 value by season's end.

As Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) continues to get treatment and weigh options for the future, sources say he’s considered unlikely to play Sunday vs the Vikings.

Lawrence was limited in practice yesterday & coach Doug Pederson was noncommittal about his status.

Fantasy Impact:

We're now at the point of possibly fading all fantasy pieces from the Jaguars, who were already one of the lowest-projected teams of the week. Brian Thomas Jr. and Evan Engram are really the only two options here, and their ceilings have been drastically lowered.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard signs 4-year, $33.2M extension

Sources: The #Panthers have locked in one of their young stars, agreeing to terms with RB Chuba Hubbard on 4-year, $33.2M contract extension.

He gets a max value of $37.2M with $15M in new fully guaranteed money.

Related Players: Jonathon Brooks, Miles Sanders

Fantasy Impact:

The Panthers have decided to ship off Diontae Johnson and sophomore Jonathan Mingo, but their running back room is now set for the near future. It's an interesting decision, and may mean that Brooks coming in and taking over a full snap share is even less likely than it had been trending. Brooks feels unlikely to contribute in a meaningful way to 2024 fantasy rosters.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey could be in line to play Week 10

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was limited in practice today, but HC Kyle Shanahan said he has had “no pain”, an encouraging sign for his availability Sunday.

Related Players: Jordan Mason, Kyle Juszczyk, Isaac Guerendo

Fantasy Impact:

If the 49ers had a commanding lead in the NFC West, there's a pretty good chance they would be more willing to ease CMC back into the gameplan, but at 4-4, they are not really in a position to mess around here. If McCaffrey is good to go, we should consider him an RB1 in Week 10.
