I suppose. But the Jets allow the least number of fantasy points to WR's this year of any team in the league.

I can't speak to who covered whom in these games, but the Jets allowed:
Lamb 11-143-0
Waddle 8-142-0
Brown 7-131-0
Waddle 8-114-0
Diggs 10-102-1
Hill 9-102-1
Adams 6-86-0
Allen 8-77-0

Again, they've allowed the FEWEST fantasy points to WR's this season.

I think I am going to put DJ Moore in over Cooper. No injury designation, more rest and a better matchup. This is a standard league and while the Falcons have given up the 2nd fewest WR fantasy points, the gap between them and the Jets is almost 70 points. That’s big enough for me to give Moore the nod considering he also ranked higher on Fantasy Pros.

Since Flacco took over at QB, he's passed for 119 more yards than the #2 QB in that time. Cooper has been the #1 fantasy WR, scoring 20 more points than the #2 WR. If fantasy teams have other top WR options that are viable options, it makes it a lot easier to pivot to someone else. In my case, my other options are Achane or London, neither of which have done much the past couple of weeks.

Kickoff from Cleveland just now:#Browns WR Amari Cooper (heel) should be able to go, provided everything goes well in warmups.

That’s actually a better outcome than active and barely playing.

Yes - probably does us owners a favor

I'm relieved... but it's Tillman, Bateman, A Pierce or Mingo for me now.
Don't care if its the wrong thread, SOS!

Ouch. Tillman might be a swing for the fences!

This was Amari's finest moment as a pro.
Crushes the first rounds of playoffs,and then has the decency to pull himself from the game beforehand, rather than in the first quarter, like the rest of his career.

I dealt for Cooper, Conner, Pittman, & Stevenson to make a playoff push.
I could hardly be more unlucky

I suppose that’s a bright side.
:(
Agreed.
Although much worse than what we'd hoped for with him playing at less than full strength and still delivering big.
Yes but I can't do it.
He had eight targets a couple games ago but his "coming around" development has been like 2 or 3 catches.
It's reasonable but I can't...no way I can lose n sit all off-season on a whim replacement

If only I could manage my own team like this.
Good luck the rest of the way.
It still seems a reasonable prediction to me

The Browns could still get the 1 seed if things break right. MIA would have to beat BAL, BUF would have to beat MIA, and PIT would need to beat BAL. Sitting him would make sense if the Ravens beat the Dolphins this week.

Ya, I'm already expecting that to happen (the BAL win). In which case, rest EVERYONE.

Pretty sick. Could you tell me to start Lawrence over browning? Lol
Browns creamed them- think the coach knew they would without Amari too. Jets are sunk

Not too concerned yet.
Me either and really makes sense.
Mini-camp is not grueling and I don't care how much money you make just throwing away $100K should be taken to lightly but players have sustained injuries at mini-camp When you got a $20m contract with zero guarantees left on it that's reason enough to not risk it and add in wanting an extension I think the $100K is ultimately a small price to pay to avoid the risk.
The new CBA has almost effectively wiped out holdouts. We get some hold-in's, Chris Jones was a rare exception for not reporting, but I honestly can't think of a player who held out of an NFL game since the new CBA went into place. The most this would escalate to IMO is Amari holding-in for a chunk of camp. Not ideal with a new OC, but we are far from that and resting his older legs won't be the worse thing in the world. Plus him and Watson are a little tight and I'm sure they'll talk and work out some together on their own.

It would take a late 1st for me to even consider it on a contender. On a rebuild, you could be right.
Probably a case where the owner values him more than a potential suitor does so it likely has the "trade gap" and therefore can't easily get a deal done. Seems like the kind of player that will be mid season targets of contenders and selling for rebuilders to max value.

I hope he does. Gettin a little nervous.

Seems like he should be getting an extension offer now, right? He had a career year with questionable QB play and was really a key piece of the Browns making the playoffs. He deserves a Mike Evans like new deal. Maybe 2 for 40?

I kinda agree. Dude has been consistently rock solid for his whole career

Not the highest of highs, but still consistently good. No black ink, and only 5 gray ink in 27 triple crown counting stats.
Full PPR by season:
- LV 2015 WR21 PB
- LV 2016 WR15 PB
- LV 2017 WR35
- LV-DAL 2018 WR18 PB
- DAL 2019 WR10 PB
- DAL 2020 WR15
- DAL 2021 WR 27
- CLE 2022 WR10
- CLE 2023 WR 21 PB
WR1 - 2, WR2 - 5, WR3 - 2
TBH probably didn't deserve some of those PB selections, but can't bag on him too much - 7 1K seasons out of 9, has only missed 7 games. 2017 (ankle) was his only down year.

Certainly it's possible, but I think it's more likely we get a watered down version of Watson based on the expert opinions I'm hearing.
That for sure does NOT jive with anything I've read or heard.
Yep, he's been really good but I understand why in real football and most of all fantasy he's been a little under appreciated.
I did a startup in 2016, year he came out and took him 11th overall. If he never does another thing he's been worth what I paid but I expected more upside, I'm sure a lot did. I know a lot of people have revisionist history but I'll say he was my highest ranked incoming rookie WR from the time he came out till Marvin. Combo of floor/upside. Part of that was a good call, the upside just never hit as much I thought it would.
Add to that his penchant, which may not be his fault at all, for disappearing for long stretches and what strikes the observer as possible low levels of passion for the game at times are some of the other reasons he's probably never been as well received as his production.
