Fair - is that specific to 31+ or does that also apply to 29 and 30? Just wondering as sometimes we split the data pretty fine.

I've been rolling with a largely 4 WR group starting 3 and been thankful I benched him at least a couple times, burned another time.
This is definitely not Randy Moss or Jerry Rice
Besides the one mammoth game he's been about the same 75 catches for 1160 yards.
Yes, check his last 3 games all with Flacco.
Have you had him? He's had several stinkers this year.Amari Cooper Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Draft, College | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Nobody said he was Rice or Moss.

Most of his stinkers were tied in some way to either DTR or PJ. He's 7 for 9 when he's had healthy Watson or Flacco and those 2 misses were in the rain soaked opener and Flacco's first game. I'm expecting a step back week, but I still think he's a better bet than Pickens @ SEA, Lockett v PIT, and Thielen @ JAX. The matchup is brutal, but he will get opportunities in both scoring range and from deep.

I need to pick 2 of Cooper, Rice and Nico. I’m currently starting Cooper tomorrow night since I can’t imagine sitting him, even in a negative matchup , after he and Flacco showed amazing chemistry these past few games. But I’m fully expecting a Thursday Night Clunker to start championship weekend :|
One game over a lengthy career is hardly that

This was his 4th game over 200 yards and he had at least 10 catches in each of those games, in a career spanning now 10 years where he has had at least 1k receiving yards in 6 of them. Its not like this is some bum that got lucky once. He has averaged 67 yards per game his entire career.
I don't get your beef w Amari Cooper lol.

I believe he joined TO as the only player with a 200 yard receiving game for 3 different teams. Cooper has always been a boom-bust guy. He's inconsistent week to week but he's consistent season to season. There's not many NFL WRs in history who have the spike week potential Cooper has. For PPR he has games of 49, 49, 44 and 39.

But if you take those 4 games out he has zero 200 yard games
You're just talking to talk and not following a conversation.
You brought up Barry then responded to your own self how he has four 200 yard games.
You said how much better he is in CLE than DAL with Dak Prescott.
He had 1189 and 1114 yards two years with Dak and 1160 last year with CLE.
He's up to 1250 this year with the mammoth game which is what I said.
I don't have a beef with Amari just with people that struggle to read quoted material and respond

Do you have a link you are you basing that on?
Isn't this your line of work?
Yes. That one I'd seen. That's why I asked for a specific link to see if it was something else. The forum works tons better when people use links. Thanks for sharing.
Also, @Terpman22 what is funny about him maybe not playing tonight?
Tons of teams are in their championship game.

My take is if he's on the Active List for Cleveland tonight, he needs to be in your starting lineup. He's been less than healthy lately and obviously super productive.
The short week is tough but on the upside, we'll all know his official status well before the first game tonight.

I see you sent the email out now
Yes. It's a big story for people. I wish we had more sources on it, which is why I asked, but for now, just alerting people is likely enough to make sure it's on their radar.

I have the luxury of having to choose three of these five in a .5 ppr: Jefferson, Deebo, Aiyuk, Cooper, or Higgins. I'm a slight favorite.
Your primer has me sitting Cooper and Higgins but I'm happy to hear your thoughts!

The heel issue is a bit concerning. He’ll have a hard time getting open on the plays he matches up with sauce as it is. Throw in a bum wheel and the writing might be on the wall. I think this is a harder choice then startihh my him jut because he’s active.
OTOH, there were no WR elevations. Just kicker elevations.

Whether Cooper plays or not, I can see this being a big Njoku game. The run game isn't overly reliable, so I can see a lot of short passes to Ford/Hunt. The Sauce/Reed duo may very well neutralize Cooper and Moore (revenge game alert), and Njoku will probably roam the middle of the field. I'll probably be wrong, but just a gut feel.
The Jets pass defense is concerning as well.
I just don't see how I'd sit him tonight if he looks ok in Warmups and is on The Active List. He has something special working with Flacco.
On the other hand, it's easy to paint the narrative for the Jets playing for pride and the defense rises up.

Agree on all points 100%.
if he’s active, I start him. They’re a team on a playoff run with a vet QB who is laser focused on his best offensive weapon in Cooper
but I wouldn’t be surprised by a Thursday night clunker if I do start him. But worth the risk. My other WR is Nico Collins so it’s not like he’s a vision of health right now and his QB is hopefully playing, so neither is a slam dunk.

Yeah I think I have to start JJ and Deebo and it's close between Cooper and Aiyuk.
Thanks for allowing the Assistant Coach hijack!

Fully agree with this. On his long TD last week, you could see his gait wasn't right. Starting limping as he reached the endzone. So the heel was bothering him but had no impact on his performance.
Also as a Browns fan, am aware that he sits out many practices. Not just this season either. Similar to the pattern for Nuk Hopkins.
I only have one share of Cooper but am starting him over Chase and Singletary. Not ideal timing with Cooper playing on Thursday. But don't see how anybody can bench him unless you have other elite players as options.
His 75 yard TD last week :
I have two teams, one dynasty and one redraft, with Amari and Breece. Worried about both, to scared to bench either but the redraft league is making me reconsider.
That redraft lague is a national type contest. I'm in 57th place. I'd need a miracle to get into first place but the money increases a good amount the higher I can get up and I'm within 31 points of the top 10 so want to improve my position and also not for nothing miracles do happen(like with both of them last week).
My unofficial count is that 23 of the 56 teams above me have Amari, 8 have Breece so he's not as impactuful and the teams that have him I'm less then 30 points away.
So I'd reallly like to bench Amari and go against the grain and will be chewing on it these next few hours. If my options were better I'd do it, easily, but I'm down to Singletary, Gerald Everett(TE Premium) or Demario Douglass. Can decide on which I'd use later.
I'd for sure bench one in my dynasty league but got a complication of several projected starters being in some degree of doubt (Flowers and Deebo) and I only have one bench option I'd use over Amari or Breece and could find myself in a jam if one of those questionable players can't go and I've allocated my one fairly decent bench option to use.

My only other options are mclaurin, Pickens and ferguson. Very hard to bench him indeed.
Eta Actually I have likely as well. Forgot about him for a minute
