Cowboys WR Amari Cooper plays through rib, hamstring injuries

Oct 04, 2021

Amari Cooper showed he won't be slowed by a combination of a fractured rib and a hamstring injury. The latter saw him miss a series early in the battle between the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper didn't finish the day with a explosive stat line, but his 69 receiving yards led the team and he reeled in all three of his targets from Dak Prescott, including a 35-yard touchdown catch that Prescott placed perfectly over his shoulder. As for his future status, it's worth watching but Cooper expects to be good, "as long as he can run." He expects to rehab and get treatment and could be limited this week in practice.

“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

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.
