I don't like Cooper top 8 either but this is all at least a bit misleading.Cooper had 4 games over 100 yards in his final 20 games in Oakland (2017 and the first half of 2018).
He had two games over 100 yards in 9 games in Dallas.
He had four games of 36 or fewer yards in Dallas.
In his 15 best yardage games of his career he has 117 catches for over 2100 yards and 15 touchdowns. That's 8 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown, 4 times a year.
In his other 46 games he has 167 catches for under 1800 yards and 10 touchdowns. That's an average of 3.5 catches, 38 yards and .22 touchdowns a game.
Maybe he becomes more consistent this year, and i agree that he'd move way up if he did, but he's been a frustrating, boom or bust receiver whose best seein is 1153 yards and 5 touchdowns. I'll pass on him in the top 8.
The big difference in Dallas is his bad games are more of the 5-31 variety rather than the 0-0 or 1-9 variety. He only cracked 30 yards in 2 of his last 6 games in Oakland but did it in 10 of 11 games in Dallas counting the playoffs. He only had 3+ receptions in 2 of his last 6 games in Oakland but did it in all 11 games in Dallas.
He cracked 10 fantasy points (PPR) in 7 of his 11 games (64%) in Dallas which still isn't particularly good for a fantasy WR1, but it's a lot better than the 7 out of 20 times (35%) he'd done it in Oakland over the last two years.
