Scouting report

OAK WR Amari Cooper - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Denver Broncos

Amari Cooper is making fantasy owners pull their hair out again. Cooper has 39 yards over the past two weeks, and drops are again an issue. It's to the point where it's affecting his targets too, with only 5 targets each of the past two weeks. Now, he faces a Denver team that he's never reached 60 yards against since 2015. Cooper is a fantasy player that has the name (and a few big weeks on his resume), but he has far too many terrible weeks. He's not a WR2 this week.

OAK WR Amari Cooper - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Washington

The Raiders go cross-country, but it's on Sunday Night Football and the west to east trip issues should not be a factor due to the late kickoff. That's evidenced by Vegas assigning an implied team total second to only the Patriots this week for the silver and black. Cooper had a frustrating week in Week 2 with Crabtree getting three scores, but Cooper was the one with the red zone targets in Week 1. In what should be a high-scoring game, Cooper is still a solid WR1 option this week, as long as Josh Norman doesn't shadow him.

OAK WR Amari Cooper - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New York Jets

The Raiders could not have hand-picked an easier home opener against the NFL's version of 'Trust the Process'. The Raiders have the second-highest implied team total in Vegas at 28.5 points. Oakland is going to be hangin' some points on the Jets with Mr. Cooper. Consider him a borderline WR1 in Week 2 in all formats. Even more promising were Cooper's 4 red zone targets last week, after only having 13 all of last season.

OAK WR Amari Cooper - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Tennessee Titans

Amari Cooper only registered 4 receptions for 62 yards against the Titans last season, but this matchup is too juicy to toy with Cooper in your lineups. Tennessee is last in our aFPA vs. WRs. Overall, they allowed the most PPR fantasy points to wide receivers last year. Fire up Cooper as a WR1 option this week.

OAK WR Amari Cooper - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Amari Cooper progressed from WR21 his rookie season to WR15 last year, and Derek Carr has warned the "dog in him is coming out." Cooper just turned 23, and his arrow is most certainly pointing up after four 20+ point performances in 2016.

Fantasy Downside

Week-to-week consistency and red zone involvement are still huge question marks for Cooper. Cooper had zero red zone touchdowns last year on only five red zone targets, after only eight red zone targets and two red zone touchdowns as a rookie. He also failed to crack 60 yards in nine of his games.

2017 Bottom Line

Cooper must continue to develop to be worth the price of fantasy admission. His ADP sits near the top of the third round. It's a high-risk situation, given Cooper didn't even lead Oakland in targets last year. There are other receivers we like more that are being drafted a round later, including his teammate Michael Crabtree.

OAK WR Amari Cooper - Week 18, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round at Houston
Amari Cooper finally got back in the end zone and dropped a 4-39-1 line on eight targets in a 24-6 loss against the Broncos in Week 17. For such an “elite” talent, Cooper broke 100 yards just three times this past season and this will run the majority of his routes against A.J. Bouye. It’s a very poor matchup against the Texans in regards WR aFPA.

OAK WR Amari Cooper - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Denver
Amari Cooper dropped an average 4-72-0 line on six targets in a 33-25 win against the Colts in Week 16. Michael Crabtree’s target share of 26.09 percent has dwarfed Cooper’s 16.67 percent over the past four games. It’s a poor matchup against the Broncos in regards to WR aFPA, and Cooper will be a high-end WR3 in Week 17.
