ChuckLiddell 623 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 4 minutes ago, ChuckLiddell said: It wasnt a 4 game stretch. It was an 8 game stretch last year pus the 4 this year. He blew up in week 8 and has disappeared from relevance ever since. He has been unstartable for 12 games. If you want to add in the 4 games prior to his 12 games of patheticness, feel free. The average for 16 games will still suck. 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: 75 - 945 - 6 Doesnt suck, but certainly is not what those ranking him as a top 5 dynasty asset expected, and the trend is a very very steep decline in production.

Holding In my dynasty 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. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why 12 games though? Why not 16 or his whole short career? Like I said, if you expect him to be a WR1 that's on you. It's a long season, and there is no reason to sell him for peanuts when you can take a wait and see approach with a guy that has been a decent WR2 in the past Good question. Last 16 games: 4.7 Rec/G 59.1 Yards/G 0.4 TD/G = 75/945/6 for 16 game season = 12.9 PPG Last 32 games: 4.5 62.3 0.3 = 71.5/997/5 = 12.6 PPG Career: 4.6 64.8 0.3 = 74.2/1036.9/5.3 = 13.1 PPG Why is it "on him" to expect Cooper to be a WR1? His ADP put him in the top 12 WR drafted everywhere I saw. He was a mid-late 2nd/early 3rd guy, so if you went Bell or Zeke in early 1 you're absolutely counting on your 2nd rounder to be a WR1. His PPG numbers above put him in the WR29-36 range based on 2016 final results. So not even "decent WR2" in the timeframes referenced. I don't see anyone selling for peanuts unless you consider WR2 prices as peanuts, in which case he's selling for more than what he's actually produced.

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Selling for Fuller I think is selling for peanuts 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. I honestly don't care that much since I've got better WR3 options, but I do think he'll turn it around once Carr returns. Yes, his last 8 games of 2016 were relatively crappy, but Carr and Crabtree also saw their stats fall way off in those games. Cooper goes as the Oakland offense goes. He's not some super stud that can overcome a tepid offense. So sell him if you think Oakland is going to suck for the whole season or hold him if you think they'll play roughly around the level they have the past two years. Lynch is still running hard and breaking tackles. That offensive line is still stacked with talent. Crabtree still has it. Jared Cook even looks pretty good. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. I agree that if people are panic selling him for guys like Will Fuller in dynasty, then I would be in based on future upside. But if you are arguing with my comment that he is not a top 5 dynasty WR asset, then we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. I never had him ranked as a top 5 WR - since I don't push the "old" guys out as quick as some. I do think he has talent and upside though - so I would buy at the right price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,252 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Amari Cooper reeled in one catch for eight yards on two targets Sunday in the Raiders’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens. This is rock bottom for Cooper, who has now caught a grand total of four passes for 23 yards over his last three games. E.J. Manuel barely even acknowledged Cooper, who caught his first and only pass with 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Cooper should, at least in theory, get a boost from the return of Derek Carr next week. With that in mind, it’s hard to trust him on any level given his recent struggles. Coop gets the Chargers at home in Week 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His drops are inexcusable, but there is a lot of overreacting going on here. If you drafted him to be your #1 that's your fault because he's never been a WR1 and you drafted him above his value (redraft). Show me one player in the last 10 years that started out their career with back to back 1000 yd seasons and then completely flopped. He's a definite hold for me and a really good buy low. On 10/5/2017 at 9:20 AM, matttyl said: While I agree with what you're saying, this is a bit of a trick question here. Only 7 players in the last 10 years have had a 1,000 receiving yard rookie season - AJ Green, K Allen, Beckham, Evans, K Benjamin, Cooper, and last year M Thomas. You might want to look at a longer window than just 10 years, and possibly loosen up the "1,000" yard threshold and a few names might start coming up. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LawFitz 1,077 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Good luck finding it now in the Youtube rabbit hole, but late this preseason I was doing yardwork listening to YT and in my feed came an interview with Tim Brown. They talked various Raider topics and Amari came up. Tim was very complimentary of Cooper and said the reason for his fall off his first two seasons was the he was playing seriously banged up to end both years. The hosts stopped him and asked if Cooper's healthy now. Tim hesitated and then gave a very unconvincing yes to the question. It stood out to me as ominous. All season long Amari has been limited in practice with a mysterious knee issue. I suspect this goes back to last season. If I recall he had some nagging injuries in college as well. Dude doesn't seem right physically, and it's clearly affecting him mentally. Really starting to feel like a lost season for Cooper and the Raiders. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
