Raiders OC: 'We need to make up for lost ground' with WR Amari Cooper

Dec 22, 2016

Raiders OC Bill Musgrave on Amari Cooper's quiet stretch:

“A couple plays were designed to go to Amari and they happened to be completions to someone else due to the coverage,” Musgrave said. “That’s one thing we want to do each and every week is feature our premier guys and get [Cooper] his touches.

“So, we need to make up for lost ground there.”

Paging the Indianapolis Colts and their 27th-ranked pass defense.

Fantasy Impact:

It's hard to get excited about a receiver who has 59 total yards on 13 targets over the last two weeks, but it sounds like Musgrave realizes that they need to get him the ball.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
