DAL WR Amari Cooper - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Washington Football Team

For one play Week 13, Amari Cooper looked back. Then he added one reception for one more yard. It was good to see Cooper slowly work back into the Cowboys rotation, but it was clear he was not 100% following his COVID-19 diagnosis. He only played 34.3% of snaps in Week 13, so it will be interesting to see if he eclipses at least 50% Week 14. Cooper has a fair amount of boom/bust attached to him this week despite a plus matchup against Washington’s secondary. The upside is there, but if he does not increase his practice reps ahead of Sunday’s game, it could be another quiet week.

DAL WR Amari Cooper - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

Cooper is capital ‘Q’ questionable because of COVID-19. He has been at the Cowboys’ facility, but lingering symptoms of illness have prevented the wideout from practicing. If Cooper does not play, he will have missed three straight games because of the virus.

Week 11 at Kansas City Chiefs

Cooper will miss Week 11's game due to COVID-19 protocols and is at risk of missing Week 12's Thanksgiving game.

DAL WR Amari Cooper - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Atlanta Falcons

Cooper’s hamstring injury limited his snaps in Week 9, but he still saw five targets on 36 snaps. If the hamstring is still a major issue, it will cap Cooper’s upside with an easy matchup in Week 10 against Atlanta. The Falcons are bottom-10 in aFPA against every skill position, so a limited game from Cooper could make him the WR3 in production for Dallas. Monitor his practice reps and adjust expectations accordingly.

DAL WR Amari Cooper - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 versus Denver Broncos

It was great to see Cooper Rush rely on Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb Week 8 as the two each topped 100 receiving yards. Dak Prescott may not do this to the same degree but he also knows where Cooper is at all times. The Denver Broncos come to town in Week 9 and bring big names to the secondary without the production. Denver is 15th in aFPA to the receiver position and will be facing the best receiving duo they have seen to this point in 2021. Cooper has a chance to be a WR1 Week 9.

DAL WR Amari Cooper - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Minnesota Vikings

Despite averaging over 12.43 yards per reception, Amari Cooper has not topped 70 receiving yards since Week 1. Part of the issue is Dak Prescott’s efficiency keeping his passing totals lower, but the other is the re-emergence of Ezekiel Elliott as a runner. The Minnesota Vikings are middle-of-the-road against wide receivers and have not faced a 1-2 combo like Lamb and Cooper since Week 3. Cooper is a WR2/3 that is touchdown-needy due to his lack of yardage.

DAL WR Amari Cooper - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Patriots

Cooper has at least 3-60-1 each of the past two weeks but is being buoyed by touchdowns. Week 5 was the first time both Cooper and CeeDee Lamb scored since Week 1. A lot of that has to do with Dak Prescott’s passing efficiency. The Cowboys head to New England to take on the Patriots, a much better team against the pass than the run. With the running game topping 30 attempts each of the past two weeks in positive game scripts, a similar offensive plan could be in place in Week 6. Cooper sits as a WR2 in 4for4’s rankings.
