His 4 games prior to sucking were actually pretty spectacular. He had 7 less total yards in those 4 games than he had in the next 12. With those added in, over last 16 games he is:
I think they keep trotting him out there with EJ starting even more so. He needs all the "help" he can get even if it's Cooper at 50%
Wow- I get that Amari hasn't performed up to par, and I do like Fuller- but this seems like a brutal sell low in regards to value. My guess is that people that had not drafted Amari are probably less in tune with how bad he's been. Sure- they can look at game logs- but 4 weeks probably isn't enough for a non Amari owner to think that a 2nd-3rd guy is worthless. I think his namesake and ADP alone are worth more than Fuller at this very point in time. I probably would have aimed higher. Good luck.
Seems like people either love him or hate him no in-between.
Good question.
If you drafted him to be a WR1 when he's been nothing but an ok at best WR2, then you took a risk and reached. If you drafted him as a WR2(which is what he is at this point and has been), he's been bad. But WR2s aren't studs and have bad weeks.Hankmoody said:
Fair enough, I didn't catch that connotation the first time I read your post, not sure why because I do agree with that sentiment. I've been critical of Cooper for a long time now and he was nowhere near my list at that point of the draft. But I'm sure those that drafted him there were certainly expecting him to continue progressing, which isn't at all uncommon, and once it got going most owners felt as though they had to keep up with ADP if they wanted him.
He was not on my radar but I couldn't let him go for a low-end WR2 price (sometimes weird things happen in auctions), so I got him as my WR3 and I'd classify him as a bad WR3. Three out of four games have been total duds.
At 23 years old with having battled through some injuries? And that's with using a bad stretch of games - with some of them having a subpar QB under center.ChuckLiddell said:
I am pretty sure he got dinged up last year and then he faded. At least that's what my old man brain remembers.
You are one of my favorite posters on these boards, but I have no idea what you are questioning with regard to the quoted post. He has most certainly not looked like a top 5 WR dynasty asset, which was my point. Do you think he still is a top 5 dynasty WR asset? I dont. I dont think he is top 10. Top 20 may be arguable at this point. Lots of WR play through injuries. Most of them probably are by week 9. He plays in a top offense, where Michael Crabtree (who flamed out in SF) has significantly outperformed him over the last 12 games, if not longer - yes a "bad stretch of games" - but we aren't talking about a 3-4 bad game stretch here. 12 games is 3/4 of a regular season. That's a legit sample size to make some determinations from.Dr. Octopus said:
I should have cropped the quote better - my comments were directed toward the 16 game stretch. You picked his worst 16 game stretch and still put up decent numbers. For a 23 year old WR that played some of those games injured and with McGloin at QB, it didn't seem so bad.
He has company this year in Sammy Watkins, Allen Hurns, Allen Robinson and Josh Gordon. They don't exactly fit the profile, but they all could be on their way.
Peanuts = TDs right?
Devin Funchess is a fantasy #2 WR right now. His production is not a flash in the pan. He’s seen his target share be consistently high all season. He’s a valuable asset.
I dunno if that's it.
I think he's got some Watkins to him. The guy is always hurt. Not sure that's an excuse for the drops though.
Interesting. There is obviously something going on with Cooper. Tim Brown was saying that he knows things that not everyone knows regarding him. Something physical or mental is happening with Cooper. Wish he woulda shared the details but of course, he can't.
Well, it's nice to finally get an explanation as to why he essentially disappeared during the second half of last year. I always assumed it was because Carr liked to spread the ball around but this makes more sense. Maybe he has a hard time playing through even minor nicks. The aspect of durability everyone tends to focus on is how often someone gets injured but since essentially everyone gets dinged up at some point during the season, a player's ability to play through a relatively minor injury and continue to perform at a high level is important as well.
I dunno. Doesn’t sound that fishy to me. Sounds like Tim Brown was in a thought and then the guy caught him off guard because Tim couldn’t hear him for a second.
Brown was quoted as saying, "He's definitely healthy now."
Here's the reason. Cooper is waiting for an inanimate object AKA the ball to find him, rather than him going out and looking for the ball.
Very interesting.
Very insightful article. One would hope if Bucky Brooks can uncover this #### with All-22 Raiders coaching staff should be able to do same.
