You guys probably know the deal by now -- after a hiatus, we're bringing the Player Spotlight threads back to the Shark Pool. For those who are new around here, the Player Spotlights are one of the main features on the site during the preseason. They're in-depth looks at key players, including pros and cons, and our staff projections. For years, we also included the best commentary from the Shark Pool. A few years ago, activity in the Pool died down and commentary fell off, but we have confidence in a resurgence.
So here's the deal. Discuss your thoughts about the player in question. We'll pick the best comments from the bunch and use them (and give you credit) in the published articles.
Amari Cooper is a tricky player to value as we approach 2018 fantasy drafts. On one hand, Cooper's statistical output in his age 21 and 22 seasons places him in an elite historical cohort. But on the other, he was hands-down the most frustrating player to own in 2017. Some analysts have gone as far as to call him a bust at the NFL level. What do you make of Cooper? Are you willing to write off his awful 2017 as an anomaly and draft him at or ahead of his ADP, or was last year a sign he'll never put it all together as a pro and is therefore overrated for fantasy purposes?
